A general strike is taking place throughout Spain today aginst the so-called "austerity measures" imposed by the government and capital. Since midnight piquets, blockades, actions and demonstrations are taking place all over the Spanish State. The strike is planned to last for 24h until midnight tonight..

As part of the strike, a massive building in central Barcelona has been occupied since last Sunday to provide a space for coordination and mobilisation. The occupation of this building is seen as the starting point for a coordinated series of mobilisations to resist the salvage cuts the Spanish government and capital are imposing to society in general.
