Millions Join Nationwide General Strike in Spain Over Housing Crisis Ahead of Elections

What happened

Millions of workers across Spain participated in the country's first general strike in 14 years to protest soaring housing costs and the cost of living, leading to widespread disruptions and clashes with police weeks before national elections.

How coverage differs

Israel Hayom heavily emphasizes the political vulnerability of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez—repeatedly labeling him 'anti-Israeli'—and highlights reports of looting and right-wing electoral gains. In contrast, Ynet focuses more broadly on the economic strain on citizens, quoting young protesters, detailing operational disruptions like canceled flights and TV blackouts, and describing the physical scale of the demonstrations.
