Thousands march in Madrid for Ceuta and demand elections

In Madrid, thousands of people joined a march called by the platform Sociedad Civil Española, under the slogan 'For the Dignity of Spain.' The event focused on supporting Ceuta and demanding early elections from President Pedro Sánchez. Although attendance estimates vary, some reports suggest that around 20,000 people participated in the demonstration.

Attendees expressed their dissatisfaction through chants that included controversial messages and criticisms of the government, with some protests specifically directed at Fernando Grande-Marlaska, the Minister of the Interior. Despite the tensions, the demonstration reportedly dispersed without serious incidents.

The march began in a lively atmosphere, where participants shouted slogans and used megaphones to amplify their message. Throughout the route, police barriers were erected to maintain order and prevent some protesters from heading toward the government headquarters in La Moncloa.

Among the demonstrators, a variety of creative expressions were observed, including the use of fictitious high-denomination banknotes featuring President Sánchez's image. Some participants also made humorous comments about the political situation.

The event received support from several political groups, including the Partido Popular (PP) and Vox, who have openly backed the cause of the demonstration. The organization hopes these types of events will help raise awareness about the situation in Ceuta and the need for elections.

The demonstration is part of a growing discontent in the country, where concerns about current politics and the situation in Ceuta have led to an increase in calls for protests. The atmosphere of the march reflected a wide spectrum of opinions and feelings toward the government and politics in Spain.
