Reacciones A Los Decretos De Vivienda Y Las Acampadas En Directo | Una Marcha Masiva En Madrid Por La Vivienda Llama A Una Huelga General: “Ya No Hay Vuelta Atrás”
El Sindicato de Inquilinas ha vuelto a llamar a la movilización este sábado después de que el voto en contra del PP, Vox y Junts tumbara los dos decretos con medidas sobre vivienda impulsados por el Gobierno. Hay convocado medio centenar de movilizaciones en ciudades de toda España bajo el lema “Hacia la huelga general”. En Madrid, la marcha ha dado sus primeros pasos al mediodía con cuatro columnas formadas por miles de personas que han confluido en Cibeles. El Sindicato de Inquilinas cifra en 500.000 los asistentes a la protesta de la capital (70.000, según Delegación del Gobierno) y aseguran “que ya no hay vuelta atrás”. La portavoz del sindicato de inquilinas, Valeria Racu, ha insistido desde Atocha en que el camino del movimiento es la huelga general, aunque sin dar una fecha concreta. Racu solo ha dicho que se convocará “pronto” y que lo hará “junto a los sindicatos laborales”, con quienes mantiene conversaciones y que la convocarán “gobierne quien gobierne”. “Ocho días de poder popular han hecho mucho más que ocho años de gobierno progresista”, ha añadido Racu.
