Mallorca: Vox attacks unions over housing strike pickets

Palma, Mallorca, 11 November: Vox spokesperson Manuela Cañadas calls the general strike over housing a “campaign tool” and accuses unions of singling out workers who do not take part.

Speaking after a meeting of party spokespersons in the Balearic Parliament, Cañadas also takes aim at strike pickets. A self-employed person should not have to explain why they have opened their business, she says. She asks whether the unions would cover a lost day’s earnings and the rent on the premises.

Cañadas accuses the unions of acting for party-political reasons. She says they are trying to blame the opposition for problems Pedro Sánchez’s government has not solved, and says Vox will defend the freedom of workers and self-employed people.
