The main worker’s groups are calling for “massive” participation in the work stoppage but expect turnout to be “uneven,” depending on how hard the housing crisis has hit each region. They are counting on large afternoon demonstrations to protest the loss of workers’ purchasing power
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.
Can you tell me specifically what the strike will achieve? Make the government change their policies?
No, I can’t. I can’t see the future. What I can tell you is why are they protesting: cost of living and salaries are not growing at the same rate. And that’s a matter that affects both left and right in the country.
I know why they are protesting. But the government already gave up. They are checked out. They are walking out the door. There’s nothing PSOE can do at this point. Who are they trying to target / convince?
