Casting doubt on the turnout prior to the strike occuring is sus, IMO.
The best time to strike is always “now”.
What is exactly the point of a general strike during the election period? Go vote, dammit,if you want change there’s a bunch of left parties to choose from.
I bet in a month they will be complaining how the PP conservatives won the elections and things are going to get worse.
General strikes work.
If you want to be heard, shut everything down until they come to the table and start making concessions.
This is the way.
It’s to let others know what’s at stake at the elections.
Nah, the problem isn’t the PP winning. The problem is that they are winning needing Vox and also while radicalizing themselves to be closer to the far right so they stop bleeding votes to Vox.
I understand the strike is needed because there’s an affordability crisis going on and it’s really bad. I also understand that even the right is criticizing the strike because they know the strike is, especially, about them (in the form of regional governments).
But this is going to be pointless if in a month there’s a far right government that will make Meloni’s something desirable.
Not sure how many people understand just how dangerous the discount conquistador, also called fachascal will be if he ever gets in a position of power.
