Indignados Movement

The Indignados Movement, also known as the 15-M Movement, began in Spain in 2011 as a response to economic hardship, government corruption, and inequality. Thousands of people protested peacefully, occupying public spaces to demand political reform, transparency, and social justice. It aimed to challenge the established political system and give voice to citizens frustrated with austerity measures and lack of representation. The movement was part of a broader wave of global protests advocating for democratic accountability and economic fairness, influencing subsequent activism both within Spain and internationally.
