Frente Amplio y Podemos piden el cese del ministro del Interior | El Gobierno considera que la huelga ha tenido “efectos muy positivos”, mientras el PP dice que ha sido “un fracaso” | Comienza esta medianoche la campaña electoral del 29-N
Interior Minister Fernando Grande Marlaska has ordered an investigation into police actions during protests in Madrid and other locations where allegations of excessive force have been made, according to government sources. He has also instructed that tear gas should not be used in future control measures for demonstrations. The general strike that began on Wednesday marks the start of the electoral campaign, which kicks off this midnight.
President Félix Bolaños believes the strike has had "very positive effects" as it has brought to public debate the issues that matter to citizens, while the spokesperson for the People's Party, Ester Muñoz, claims it was a "failure." Both the head candidate of Frente Amplio for Madrid, Emilio Delgado, and the spokesperson for Podemos in Congress, Ione Belarra, have called for Marlaska's removal.
Meanwhile, the Permanent Congress Diputación will confirm one of the two housing decrees passed by the government on October 6th, following the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal.
