I suspect that strikes will be a regular feature of life going forward.
Austerity must be introduced(apparently). Whatever measures are introduced are not really noticed by the well off. They are however significant to the poor and lower paid who after all make up the bulk of the populace. A lot of families exist in Spain on less than 1000 (maybe £900) euros a month before tax. Take another 50 euros a week off them and it makes a huge difference to life
Spain has got a general strike on the 29th April. I haven't seen anywhere what it is actually about other than a protest about the new national(Conservative) governments already introduced measures and the ones they are going to hit us with on the 30th April.
Interestingly our olive oil co operative decided to shut on the 29th for the day which is damned inconvenient as it is the busiest time of the year!
Was in Santander yesteday and today and they were all complaining about it.
