La indignación quiere tomar Madrid
After seeing the horizontal organization and seemingly spontaneous “uprising” of last summer’s Acampada de Sol there is a certainy irony to seeing this year’s events laid out in Spain’s most influential newspaper.

Equally significant will be to see how the change in Spain’s national government from the leftist PSOE (Partido Socialista Obrero Español) to the conservative PP (Partido Popular) affects the response of the National Police (CNP) to the protests.
