Los acampados en Sol deciden quedarse aunque parte del Sindicato de Inquilinas anuncia su salida progresiva
La organización que lideró la protesta dice que van a enfocarse en la huelga general, mientras que el resto de colectivos consideran ampliar el campamento si siguen llegando personas a la plaza
The question "Who are those in the orange vests?" arises when discussing the Occupy Sol encampment in Madrid's Puerta del Sol. The Sindicato de Inquilinas, or Union of Tenants, leads this massive encampment of thousands of people sleeping in hundreds of tents. The orange vest color is the emblem of this union, which has been the focal point of media attention for five days since they transformed a protest against evicting Maricarmen into a camp, reminiscent of the 15M movement.
The phrase "We are going to organize" was spoken on their first night, echoing a similar sentiment from nine years ago when a handful of people gathered in small offices in Madrid and Barcelona to introduce a platform that now spearheads the fight for housing rights in Spain.
