The European General Strike of 2012 was a general strike in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Malta, Cyprus, Greece, Belgium and France in November 2012.
Background
The strike took place in the background of European Union-led austerity measures, which weakened the welfare state and workers rights of member countries in the name of neoliberalism.
Events
The strike lasted a single day. In Spain, police and strikers fought in the streets.
Results
The strike failed, likely due to the fact that it did not continue until its demands were met, placing little pressure on the various states involved.
