PSOE councilors in Alicante announce donation to housing platform

Socialist Party (PSOE) councilors in Alicante have announced they will not participate in the general strike scheduled for November 11, opting instead to donate a portion of their salaries to the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages (PAH).

Spokesperson Trini Amorós stated that as public representatives, their priority is to fulfill their responsibilities rather than abandoning their duties. The donation, which is expected to exceed 1,000 euros, aims to support housing rights advocacy and help activists cover fines imposed by Mayor Barcala following protests during municipal plenary sessions.

While PSOE members will not join the strike, councilors from Compromís and Esquerra Unida (EU) have confirmed they will participate in the work stoppage, which includes a corresponding reduction in salary.
