The movement of “indignant” Spaniards against traditional politics, which in May 2011 filled the streets and squares of many cities, will have a commemorative plaque at the epicenter of the protest, the famous Puerta del Sol.
Fuentes Madrid City Council, now governed by the left, today announced the placement of the plaque, which will take place on May 15, just fifth anniversary the beginning of the movement, known in Spain as 15-M.
in full campaign for the municipal elections held later that month of May, Madrid hosted a rally of thousands of people claiming another way of doing politics and criticized corruption and political alienation from citizens.
that night many young protesters decided to continue the protest with a makeshift camp on the Puerta del Sol, a symbolic place of the city and regular forum for all kinds of civic and recreational levels.
the camp resulted in an assembly movement began to discuss the evils of politics Spanish and how to correct and began to spread throughout Spain.
the main tangible effect of 15-M was the creation of alternative political movements, based on nominations from citizens with no experience in public that in the municipal elections of 2015 achieved a prominent place in many Spanish towns results.
Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza and Cadiz are now cities governed by these forces born in the heat of the old movement “outraged”
