15October Protest in Madrid

submitted by notarobot

1 decade 2 years 8 months 1 week ago

Este era el aspecto que presentaba la Puerta del Sol de Madrid a las 20.30 de la tarde de este 15 de octubre. Miles de indignados accedían a la emblemática plaza desde la calle Alcalá y otras calles aledañas, cantando cánticos como "lo llaman democracia y no lo es" o "que no, que no, que no nos representan". (Miguel Ángel Medina) /YT

[internet-translated to English:]

This was the aspect presented by the Puerta del Sol in Madrid at 20.30 pm on the 15th October. Thousands of outraged accessed from the emblematic Plaza Alcalá Street and other surrounding streets, singing songs like "I call democracy and it is not" or "no, no, they do not represent us." (Miguel Angel Medina)

Anyone have a guess to the number of protesters here?

[Update]
It looks like this crowd was 500,000 strong. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_October_2011_global_protests)
Some additional info found at reddit.
They even had their own symphony. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTIjSE6yeeI

I went to post this and it was already here. The person who told me about it said it was half million. Have no idea if that is accurate or not.

These crowds are looking like the protests leading up to the Iraq War -- those kind of huge numbers.

No one gets angry/protests like the spaniards.

I may whinge about them sucking up EU funding just so they can have a tomato throwing national holiday, but i do love that about them.
