A national demonstration opened a month of rolling union actions against the centre-right government’s planned pension-age increase, wage restraint and public-service cuts. Police estimated at least 100,000 participants while unions reported up to 130,000. The protest included workers and students and was followed by regional actions and a national general strike on 15 December. This was a major postwar labour mobilisation, but estimates vary by source.
