A Europe-wide day of protest today targets government austerity measures including general strikes in Spain, Portugal and Greece.
France and Germany are among other European Union countries holding protests.
In Spain, some protests began at the stroke of midnight, with anger over sustained austerity measures boiling over in a country where about a quarter of the workforce is unemployed.
An Interior Ministry official said 32 people have been arrested and 15 have been treated for minor injuries.
The General Workers Union said the nationwide stoppage, the second this year, was being heeded by nearly 100 per cent of workers Wednesday in the automobile, energy, shipbuilding and constructions industries.
Ministry official Cristina Diaz said electricity consumption, a gauge of industrial activity, was down 11 per cent compared to a normal working day.
Anger is being directed at the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank, which have demanded strict austerity measures in exchange for bailout packages in countries such as Greece and Portugal.
