Tens of thousands attend "Mafia or Democracy" rally in Spain
Madrid, June 9 (Hibya) – According to the People's Party (PP), 100,000 people, and according to the government, between 45,000 and 50,000 people filled Plaza de España and the surrounding streets at the rally organized by the PP under the slogan "Mafia or Democracy."
Chants were heard demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the urgent holding of general elections. Regional President Isabel Díaz Ayuso warned against the "minority dictatorship" that she said Sánchez was using to rule Spain. There, PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo called on the Spanish people to have the courage to decide at the ballot box.
The People's Party (PP) portrayed Spain as a country heading toward dictatorship. Opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo urged people to choose "between complicity or not, extremism or purity," and "corruption or decency."
This protest was the sixth organized by the PP since the last general elections, and the party described the event as a "success," saying it was held without any abbreviations in order to appeal to as many Spaniards as possible. According to the party’s estimates, more than 100,000 people gathered around Don Quixote Square. However, the government put the number of citizens chanting "Pedro Sánchez, resign!" for an hour at 50,000.
