Official position of the Government
The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs stated that the strike occurred following a series of successful negotiations on working conditions, minimum wage, and workers' rights. According to official sources cited by El País, these measures were considered a key step toward greater stability within the private sector.
Criticism from PP, Vox and Junts por Cataluña
