MADRID (The Thursday Times) — Budh ko Spain bhar mein lakhon afrad mulk ki 14 baras mein pehli aam hartal mein shareek hue. Rehaish ke barhte akhrajaat ke khilaf yeh 24 ghante ki hartal aam intikhabat se sirf do hafte pehle hui.
Bari unions ki call par aur kiraya-daron ki anjumanon ki himayat se hone wali hartal ne transport aur awami khidmaat ko mutasir kiya, aur Madrid aur Catalonia mein kai bari sarkon par traffic ruk gaya. Unions ke mutabiq automotive aur bandargahon ke shobon mein 90 feesad aur kachra uthane ke shobe mein 82 feesad shirkat rahi, taham shirkat yaksan nahin thi aur sab se zyada himayat Catalonia aur Andalusia jaise sahili ilaqon mein dekhi gayi jahan rehaish ke akhrajaat sab se tezi se barhe hain. Kai school aur jamiat band rahin ya kam se kam amle ke saath kaam karti rahin.
UGT union ke sarbarah Pepe Alvarez ne hartal ko “zabardast” shirkat ke saath kamyab qarar diya, aur CCOO union ke Unai Sordo ne kaha ke shirkat “bohat numayan” rahi. Spanish Confederation of Business Organisations ne kaha ke shirkat “kam aur ghair-yaksan” thi. Wazarat-e-dakhla ke mutabiq mukhtalif waqiyat mein darjanon afrad ko giraftar kiya gaya.
Aadhi tankhwah kiraye mein
Property listings ke aadaad-o-shumar ke mutabiq October mein Madrid mein 50 murabba meter ke flat ka ausat mahana kiraya 1,170 euro tha, jabke Spain mein ausat mahana majmooi tankhwah taqreeban 2,460 euro hai. Yeh aamdan ke us 30 feesad se kahin zyada hai jise mahireen qabil-e-bardasht samajhte hain. Ehtijaj us waqt barha jab 87 sala Maricarmen Abascal ko Madrid ke us flat se be-dakhal kiya gaya jahan woh saat dahaiyon se reh rahi thin. Chand hafton baad un ka hospital mein inteqal ho gaya.
Do hafte baad intikhabat
Wazir-e-azam Pedro Sanchez, jinhon ne parliament ki janib se un ki housing islahat manzoor na hone par 29 November ko qabl az waqt intikhabat ka elan kiya tha, aur un ke wuzra ne karkunon ko hartal mein shareek hone ki targheeb di. Unhon ne social media par likha, “Aap ka aath ghante ka din. Aap ki pension. Aap ki sarkari sehat ki sahulat… Yeh sab ijtimai kamyabiyan thin.”
Qadamat-pasand People's Party, jo raye-aama ke jaizon mein aage hai, ne hukoomat par intikhabi faide ke liye hartal se faida uthane ka ilzam lagaya. Is ke rehnuma Alberto Nunez Feijoo ne hartal ko “bakwas” aur unions ko “mafia” kaha. Sanchez ne Spanish television ko bataya, “Bakwas to karkunon ke hartal ke haq par sawal uthana hai.”
