El Sindicato de Inquilinas llama a la huelga general por la vivienda “para que no haya una Maricarmen más”
El sindicato confirma el paro el 11 de noviembre junto a CGT, CO.BAS y Solidaridad Obrera. CC OO y UGT piden en un comunicado movilización de los trabajadores “por una vivienda digna”
At around 9:00 PM on Wednesday, the Ateneo La Maliciosa in Madrid was packed with trade unionists and activists advocating for the right to housing. They embraced, cried, and dabbed their eyes. Shortly before the press conference called by the Union of Tenants, the death of Maricarmen was reported. The 87-year-old woman had sparked the struggle against Spain's housing crisis.
The indignation over her eviction and the subsequent rejection of housing decrees by the majority of the right-wing in Congress led to demonstrations whose main slogan was: "Towards a general strike." The Union of Tenants, along with representatives of CGT, Solidaridad Obrera, and CO.BAS, confirmed the strike for November 11th. The strike also received the support of the majority trade unions, CC OO and UGT, which did not participate in the press conference but distributed a statement shortly before it began.
