PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, November 12: We look at reactions from Spain after the country's first nationwide general strike in 14 years. It comes two weeks before snap general elections. Also: Scott Colom makes history as the first Black senator in Mississippi in 145 years after an epic Senate midterm race finally concluded. Finally, fans of Barça will be able to inter their ashes at Camp Nou as part of a new offer by the club to allow supporters to cheer on the team in the afterlife.
Wednesday saw Spain's first 24-hour strike in 14 years. Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Barcelona, Madrid and other cities. It comes a fortnight ahead of a general election that will pit Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez against a strong right-wing opposition. El Periodico, the centre-left Catalan daily, calls it a "different kind of strike". The Madrid version of 20 Minutos says the strike filled the streets but did not paralyse the country.
