15-M movement only grows stronger — in videos | Reflections on a Revolution ROAR


15-M movement only grows stronger — in videos | Reflections on a Revolution ROAR

Exactly two weeks ago, spontaneous protests broke out in Spain. Here’s some footage to show that the movement is only growing stronger.

"Reinvigorated, as we predicted, by the brutal police violence in Barcelona two days ago, over 9,000 people today took to the Puerta del Sol to take part in the biggest popular assembly in the square so far.

Celebrating the 2-week existence of the 15-M movement in Puerta del Sol today, the popular assembly decided to extend its occupation of the square indefinitely. In the meantime, solidarity protests have broken out all over Europe, giving rise to a popular uprising in Greece and demonstrations in over 100 European cities today.

As was the case with the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings, many skeptics initially argued that the protest movement would fizzle, slowly fading out as fatigue kicked in and day-to-day life knocked on the door. It is to those skeptics that we dedicate this article."
