Catalan organizations and political coalition support labor and fiscal reforms

Independentist organizations Poble Lliure and La Forja have announced their support for a general strike scheduled for November 11, organized by La Intersindical. The groups are calling for improved living conditions, including dignified wages, a 32-hour work week, stronger public services, and measures to combat real estate speculation and evictions.

Separately, Ernest Urtasun, the Minister of Culture and candidate for the Front Ampli coalition, stated in Tarragona that the political group is working toward greater fiscal justice and labor rights. Urtasun endorsed a proposal by Ada Colau to tax wealth exceeding one million euros with a 2% rate, and assets over 50 million euros with an additional 3% surcharge. This measure is estimated to raise 10 billion euros to bolster public services and pensions.
