Public administration workers have launched a 24-hour strike today, starting at midnight and lasting until 11:59 PM. The shutdown includes central, regional, and local administration, affecting various public services. Among the main demands is the establishment of meal vouchers in public administration.

According to union sources, participation in the strike was around 60% in the education and health sectors during the morning. This information was confirmed by reports from various regions of the mainland and the autonomous regions.

Given the importance of the affected sectors, the strike could significantly impact the operation of schools and health services. Workers have expressed their dissatisfaction and demands in various assemblies and demonstrations over the past weeks, culminating in this strike.

The union responsible for calling the strike mentioned that participation is being closely monitored and that the numbers may vary depending on the time of day and assessments made across various institutions.

Media outlets emphasize that the strike is a demonstration of workers' struggle for better conditions and the dignification of their labor rights, especially in contexts of high pressure on public services.

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation while workers stress the necessity of addressing their demands. It is unclear whether there will be negotiations or meetings between worker representatives and the government during or after the strike.
