In that same square
There we were, under the lashings of wind and rain, in the human carousel of Cibeles, the union trash, the scroungers, the mobs, to use a word from the old reactionary arsenal.
A severe storm hit Madrid, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the city. The storm caused disruptions, with people struggling to navigate the streets with umbrellas and traffic lights malfunctioning. Despite the challenging conditions, a large crowd gathered, moving through the streets, including in the area around Atocha and the Cibeles square.
The event appeared to be a collective act of affirmation and resistance, potentially against the regional president and what some describe as a form of fascism. Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor are mentioned as having described this phenomenon as "fascismo del fin de los tiempos".
