La Huelga General

In Spain last month there was a General Strike, which was expressing the anger the millions of people in Spain harbor towards the new labor reforms and the lack of jobs available to them. On March 29, hundreds of people stayed home, protested in the streets, and shut down their shops for the day to show how serious they were. This of course made national news but even made international news as everyone tuned it to see how serious these strikes were. 

here are some images showing how some international newspaper made the Spanish strike front pages.
Play close attention to the images chosen to portray the strike, the violence, and the decision makers.
