According to El Pais [ES], the march that took place on Sunday, June 19 [#19J] gathered 200,000 people throughout Spain in protest over the crisis. The mass organization was not a coincidence – the meeting places were assigned between 9am and 10am, which would finally result in everyone converging at Neptune Square at 2pm. This is south of Retiro Park, and only 200 meters from the Assembly (El Congreso).
The demands are the same
The demands remained the same as thousands of workers and unemployed rallied in the streets: Reforms on political corruption, electoral law, transparency in the banks, and the mortgage system. The rejection to the Euro Pact was the major point for this recent manifestation. It calls on countries in the Euro zone to find a compromise and make propositions on several key issues: competitive wages, employment, public finances and control over the deficit. The bill was proposed in Brussels on March 12, and will be up for a vote on June 27.
July 23, Spain will meet in Madrid
The #15M movement is preparing for the next big demonstration. Several marches from all over the country will converge in Madrid. The Acampada de Valence [ES] took the eastern route, a walk that is 500 km and takes 34 days. La marche de Barcelone [ES], on the northeast road, will begin on June 25th. They will meet in Madrid on July 23rd.
