Leio no El País:
Miles de personas han recorrido las calles para demostrar su indignación con el sistema. El movimiento pacifíco Democracia Real Ya ha convocado en cincuenta ciudades españolas a los ciudadanos para demostrar que no son "mercancías en manos de políticos y banqueros". A las seis de la tarde, la plaza de Cibeles ya albergaba varios miles de personas que gritaban "el pueblo unido, jamás será vencido". Se dirigían a la Puerta del Sol para protestar porque los políticos no tienen en cuenta a los ciudadanos en la toma de decisiones. Jóvenes, trabajadores, estudiantes y jubilados marchan juntos para demostrar su indignación por las consecuencias de la crisis y para pedir un cambio político y social.
La marcha de Madrid es una de las más numerosas de las que fueron convocadas por Democracia Real Ya en otras 52 ciudades españolas.

Inspirado pela iniciativa portuguesesa da Geração à Rasca, o protesto dos espanhóis foi igualmente organizado no Facebook e disseminou-se rapidamente nas redes sociais. Ontem, liderou as principais Trending Topics na Internet, com o Twitter a ser utilizado para fazer circular testemunhos em directo e imagens ao minuto: aquí, aquí, aqui e aqui.

Tens of thousands march in Spain to protest against austerity measures, banks, politicians
published in The Washington Postby Associated Press, Updated: Sunday, May 15
Tens of thousands of students, social groups and unemployed Spaniards rallied in more than 50 cities on Sunday to protest against government austerity measures and the role banks and political parties have played in the financial crisis.
The events were organized by two activist groups under the banner of “We aren’t merchandise in the hands of politicians and bankers.”
Protesters in Madrid marched from Cibeles square to city hall in Puerta del Sol, many wearing yellow T-shirts distributed by the Youth Without a Future group, which was founded in early April at the city’s university and helped organize the rallies.
“We the unemployed, the badly paid, the subcontracted in precarious jobs, the youth of Spain, want change and a future with dignity,” said Ines Bajo, 24, who is unemployed.
Other large marches took place in the cities of Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao and Zaragoza.
“I have several degrees, speak many languages and still get paid a miserable salary,” said Cristina Corbera, 25, in Madrid, adding she had finally got a job two months ago after looking for work for more than a year.
She declined to say where she worked because of fear her employer might react badly to her comments, she said.
“For those who say that Spaniards are passive, here’s evidence that things are starting to change,” Luis Morago, 44, who is unemployed.
Spain is saddled with the eurozone’s highest jobless rate of 21.3 percent with a record 4.9 million people unemployed and a sluggish economy that grew by 0.3 percent in the first quarter of the year.
The government forecasts growth of 1.3 percent this year, but the central bank and others say that prediction is optimistic.
