The 2011 Spanish protests, also referred to as the 15-M Movement[1] or the Spanish revolution[2], are a series of ongoing peaceful[3] demonstrations in Spain whose origin can be traced to social networks and True Democracy NOW (Spanish: Democracia Real YA) among other civilian digital platforms and 200 other small associations.[4] Compared with the Arab Spring and May 1968 in France, it started on 15 May with an initial call in 58 Spanish cities.[5]
The series of protests demands a radical change in Spanish politics, as protesters do not consider themselves to be represented by any traditional party nor favoured by the measures approved by politicians.[6] Spanish media have related the protests to the economic crisis, Stéphane Hessel's Time for Outrage!,[6] the NEET troubled generation and current protests in the Middle East and North Africa,[7] Greece,[8] Portugal[9] as well as the Icelandic protest and riots in 2009.[10] The protests were staged close to the local and regional elections, held on 22 May.
Even though protesters form a heterogeneous and ambiguous group, they share a strong rejection of unemployement, welfare cuts, Spanish politicians, the current two-party system in Spain between the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and the People's Party, as well as the current political system, capitalism, banks and bankers,[11] political corruption and firmly support what they call basic rights: home, work, culture, health and education.[12], work, culture, health and education.[12]
