Check out the minimum services for this Wednesday's general strike for Palestine.

PalmThe Government has established the minimum services that will apply during the general strike this Wednesday, October 15, 2025, called to condemn the genocide in Palestine and demand peace. These strikes affect sectors such as education, healthcare, transportation, public administration, social services, and the environment. Therefore, the Executive has established that essential services will be active to guarantee service to citizens.

The organizing unions, CGT, CIS, Alternativa Docente, CNT, SOMOS Sindicalistas, FIST, and STEI, want to denounce "the employment, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing being carried out by the Zionist entity (Israel) in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem." Students from the UIB will also be detained, in a rally under the slogan "Carot, enough complicity. Let's stop it all!" The students will gather in front of the rector's office at 12:00 p.m. At 6:30 p.m., a demonstration open to everyone will take place in Palma, at the same time in Ciutadella, and at 7:00 p.m. in Ibiza.
