SocietyHundreds of thousands join Spain general strike over housing

Millions of workers in Spain shut businesses and public transport on Wednesday in the country’s first general strike in 14 years. After a peaceful march in Barcelona against rising rents, property prices and living costs, protesters smashed storefronts, lit small fires and bins, and fired fireworks at police. The unrest comes weeks before snap elections.
