In September alone 4,000 people were losing their jobs every single day.More than 5 million people in the country do not have a wage provider for their homes.RT's Irina Galushko says that many Spaniards  say that none of the choices on the ballot can satisfy their demands or essentially change anything given the bleak situation in the country.
