Yesterday, on Fiestas de San Isidro Labrador in Madrid, Spain, a small protest demanding justice for victims of the Franco regime was held in Puerta del Sol for an hour starting around 8:00 pm local time.
One sign said "Contra la Impunidad Solidaridad con las víctimas del Franquismo", which translates to "Against Impunity, Solidarity with victims of the Franco regime". The protest started with speakers on a megaphone, and was followed by a march around the plaza several times with the leaders holding a large banner. They were followed by people chanting, holding flags of the Second Spanish Republic, and holding placards. There was a police presence around the protest.
Puerta del Sol has historically been important as a place for Spaniards to hold protests about concerns they have in the country including ones that coincided with the 2011 Arab Spring that demanded changes to Spain's political systems.
