La importancia de llamarse Huelga General
Summary
Juan Luz Sánchez analiza la convocatoria de una huelga general por el derecho a la vivienda, explorando su viabilidad legal y su redefinición social. Con Laura Olías, examina cómo los movimientos sociales y feministas han resignificado la huelga para incluir el trabajo de cuidados y la precariedad habitacional. El episodio destaca la colaboración inédita entre sindicatos tradicionales y nuevas protestas, que buscan presionar a gobiernos, patronales y fondos buitre ante la crisis de vivienda en España.
