PalmaActresses Samantha Hudson, Laura Weissmahr and communicator María Barrier were treated this Wednesday after being sprayed with pepper spray on Gran Via street in Madrid, during a protest for the general strike called for housing. "Without doing anything, a man came straight up, behind the riot police, to throw pepper spray at us. He sprayed it directly into my face," denounced Hudson after being treated.

The artist explained that all three were "on the front line, without exercising violence". "None of the three of us could see. We have been given a medical report. Our faces are still burning, who knows for how long," declared Barrier.

Two people have been arrested and police charges have been recorded during a protest by hundreds of people supporting the 24-hour general strike called this Wednesday across the country, which blocked traffic on Madrid's Gran Via for several hours.
