The strike was supported by the football club “Barcelona”.
Trade unions and other organisations of Catalonia called for Tuesday, October 3, a General strike in protest against the police action on the day of the referendum on the independence of the Spanish autonomy.
At the same time, the major trade unions of Spain UGT and CCOO refused to support the strike, although previously was going to participate in it. The refusal was caused by statements of the head of Catalonia Carles Pokdemon after the plebiscite.
Speech Pokdemon showed that the only way out he sees the Declaration of independence of Catalonia, although the resolution of the conflict requires negotiations with Madrid, said the unions in a joint statement.
