Camping in Madrid begins to leave the Plaza del Sol

The protest camp in Madrid, established on September 26, is being dismantled after achieving its goals, according to organizers. They announced a transition to local neighborhoods and preparation for a general strike on November 11. The movement, known as Acampada 26S, emphasized that their decisions were made collectively and not imposed by authorities. They claimed victories, including calls for early elections and government measures on housing. The camp, located at Puerta del Sol, was sparked by the eviction of an elderly woman, leading to widespread protests. Despite opposition from the Madrid government, courts upheld the right to protest. As the camp winds down, some groups plan to remain, highlighting its influence on similar movements across Europe.
