Rents spark Spain strike
Millions of workers in Spain are taking part today, Wednesday, in the first general strike in 14 years, protesting the housing crisis and soaring rents, whose average has nearly doubled over the past decade. Protesters are calling for a halt to the conversion of apartments into tourist rentals, action against property speculation, and stronger protections for tenants, including automatic renewal of rental contracts. The strike comes less than three weeks before a national election, in which housing and living costs are expected to be among the leading issues.
