Madrid
We can puffed out his chest. The revelation of Spain party yesterday gave a huge show of force to gather in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid tens of thousands of supporters from around the country, and convinced that the group led by Pablo Iglesias will be able to govern. In a demonstration dubbed 31-E, the young and informal Iglesias promised defeat at the polls the ruling Popular Party (PP) to build “a country for the people”.
Massive act had no specific purpose stated, nor was called to demand something concrete to the government. We can simply called citizens and supporters to demonstrate to show that “political change is possible, and is now”. It was inevitable reminiscent of the indignant protests that began in May 2011, but this time a much more politicized and partisan tone was.
Although still insists that it can “neither right nor left,” Iglesias attempts to show ideological consistency and simultaneously convince the u ndecided that their training is a real choice of government. “Today, in the Puerta del Sol dream a better country, but we have not filled to dream but to make it a reality in 2015 bellowed political scientist 36 years. This year we started something new: we will win the elections for the People’s Party “

According to government estimates, the number of protesters reached the hundred thousand. The organizers rose to 300,000, while some means of Spain spoke of a figure of around 150,000 people. To the audience, mostly young, Iglesias made several historical allusions: he said that those present were the heirs of the 1808 uprising against the French, of which proclaimed the Second Republic in 1931 and those who were outraged in 2011. “It takes dream ers who dare to defend the underdog and face the above said. They quijotes missing. We dream like Don Quixote but we take very seriously our dreams. “
Iglesias reached the mobilization emboldened by the recent triumph in Greece Syriza, related party left can and equally” antiajuste “. For there he went one axis of the act. “The cuts and austerity policies are dividing the country into two: those who benefited and those who are worse off than before,” accused the leader can, which -Surveys is excited in hand to defeat the PP in elections municipal and regional authorities in May and general elections before year end. The Spanish government has yet to set a date for the election date, towards which part disadvantage.
Reaction of PP and PSOE
Not to mention directly We can, the two traditional parties of Spain yesterday reacted to the huge party call Pablo Iglesias. “I do not accept the black Spain painting,” said chief minister, Mariano Rajoy (PP). “These are some sad walking around saying how bad things are going” shot. For its part, the Asturian President, Javier Fernandez (PSOE), said the PSOE is “the enemy of all parties”. Thus, rejected the thesis can about the Socialists are finished and are not a real option against PP.
