Thousands of protesters took to the streets across Spain on Wednesday for a nationwide general strike against the country’s housing affordability crisis.

The demonstration marks the first general strike in over 14 years and is backed by Spain’s two largest unions — Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) and Comisiones Obreras (CCOO).

The protests come as Spain approaches a general election on Nov. 29, where Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez hopes to secure a fourth term.
