General strike: CGTP reports strong support, government says 'country functioning normally'

The general strike called by the CGTP union coalition saw significant participation, with hospitals experiencing a near-total shutdown during the night shift, schools closed, and flights cancelled. The government, however, insists that the country is operating as usual. This labor action highlights deep-seated frustrations among workers, likely reflecting broader discontent with current labor and economic policies. The strike's impact underscores the potential for widespread disruption if these underlying issues remain unresolved.
