Violent protests erupt in Spain as the country witnesses its first general strike in 14 years. Strike organisers say that 4 million people participated in the strike. Firstpost looks at Spain’s housing crisis, which is what sparked the general strike. Hem Kaur Saroya also looks at the housing measures just passed by the government of outgoing Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez just ahead of the snap elections, scheduled for November 29. HKS also looks at the impact of the riots and police response during the general strike, and what it means for Spain’s next government.
