Spaniards are protesting ahead of the upcoming elections, when they will vote for new municipal councils and regional governments across the country in hopes of replacing policies they’ve largely been unhappy with. Protesters gathered not only in Madrid but also in the cities of Sevilla, Granada and Valencia. Mouvement des Indignés. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
