This decision, still under consideration, would place Málaga at the center of union demands on a crucial date. The choice of the city is not coincidental, as it aligns with the start of the electoral campaign for the Andalusian elections, scheduled for May 17.
Union sources in the province have indicated that it is almost certain the march will move from Madrid to Málaga. The presence of the national leaders of both organizations, Pepe Álvarez for UGT and Unai Sordo for CCOO, is expected.
Furthermore, the attendance of regional leaders, Oskar Martín of UGT Andalucía and Nuria López of CCOO Andalucía, is anticipated. It has also been reported that high-ranking officials from the PSOE and IU might join the demonstration, according to union and party sources.
The choice of Málaga is influenced by the debate over the housing access problem, as it is one of the "stressed" areas in Spain, due to the rising costs of both rents and property purchases in recent years.
In addition to housing, the demonstration will address the "deterioration" of public healthcare, the need to improve mobility in the province, and the fight for decent wages, as well as the reduction of the working week to 37.5 hours without salary reduction.
Traditionally, the march in Málaga starts from the confluence of Alameda de Colón and Manuel Agustín Heredia Avenue, proceeds along Alameda Principal, and culminates in the central Plaza de la Constitución, where union leaders deliver their speeches.
