The population disapprove of the Government's labor reform, a much larger percentage among PSOE voters ( 91%); It should be noted that even 28% of PP voters also disapprove. On the other hand, only 24% of the population consider it adequate (47% of PP voters), while 74% believe that it will not help create jobs and 61% believe that it responds to external pressures. The PP Government, despite its recent electoral victory, had a serious legitimacy problem in imposing its aggressive labor reform. Their arguments that they are equitable reforms and essential means for job creation did not stick. It harms the working and disadvantaged sectors, and people rightly distrusted that these sacrifices were the way to eliminate unemployment and create jobs. Therefore, in a first aspect, the degree of disagreement with this measure, the citizen majority is with the position of the unions and against the government decision (and the parliamentary majority). This offers great social legitimacy to the objectives of the general strike: to withdraw that labor reform that today is transformed into its repeal.
The second aspect, the type of citizen response appropriate to this aggression, the position of the population is also ambivalent, but of a different nature. According to the aforementioned survey, only 28% of society as a whole would justify a general strike that will force the Government Australia Phone Number to change and soften it (8% among PP voters, and 45% among PSOE voters - and it is assumed that it is even higher among voters of the rest of the left-). On the contrary, 67% of the people surveyed (90% among PP voters and 50% among PSOE voters) express that a general strike would be of no use and could worsen the economic situation even further. President Rajoy's argument that 'it will be of no use' and that the entire reform will be applied has credibility, even among half of the PSOE electoral base at the time, and is a powerful reason used by the right to deactivate it. This would be the worst of the hypotheses.
However, various qualifications can be made. First, that the survey reflects the opinion of society as a whole (including entrepreneurs, self-employed people and management layers, as well as inactive people); There is no disaggregated data, but if compared with the similar situation of the general strike of September 29, 2010, the percentage of justification among the salaried population would increase several points more than the average, that is, it could reach a third ( and being the majority among left-wing people). Second, it has to do with the type of question and the interpretation of the answer. In this survey, the degree of 'realism' about the immediate effectiveness of the strike is foregrounded, not about its legitimacy (or sympathy). Nor is it associated with other motivations to support social mobilization, due to its positive effects in various expressive fields, strengthening citizenship and rebalancing in labor relations, as a democratic expression of indignation and social unrest that must be heard.
