According to Al Jazeera, some young people in Spain answered a trade union call on Wednesday to join a national strike, with housing costs being one of their demands. Youths interviewed in the report touched upon rent burdens, overcrowded shared housing, and unstable lease agreements; a 24-year-old respondent in Barcelona stated that she pays $506 per month for a bedroom measuring about 2 meters by 2.6 meters. The tens of thousands of protesters mentioned in the reports took place in recent weeks, and the actual total number of participants for this strike was not provided.
