> Tens of thousands marched across Spain on Wednesday during a general strike over housing affordability and purchasing power, weeks before an early general election. Unions reported strong participation in some sectors in the country’s first nationwide 24-hour stoppage since 2012, while business leaders played down the turnout. In rainy Madrid, demonstrators carried house-shaped placards and chanted, “We have no home.”
