Spanish workers are expected to turn out in their millions on Wednesday for the country’s first general strike in 14 years.

The nationwide walk‑out will involve employees from a wide range of sectors, from public services to private industry, as they seek to express their grievances and demand better working conditions.

Organisers have warned that the strike could disrupt transport, commerce and public services across Spain, potentially causing significant economic and social impact during the day.

While the exact reasons behind the protest remain to be clarified, the scale of participation underscores the depth of discontent among the Spanish labour force.
