Massive PP Protest Rocks Madrid: Feijóo Demands Sánchez Call Elections

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Madrid's Plaza de España on June 8th, 2025, in a demonstration organized by the People's Party (PP) against the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The PP, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, framed the protest as a stand against government corruption. Feijóo's speech, captured in the video, directly challenged Sánchez, urging him to call for early elections. "Ríndase a la democracia. Convoque elecciones, las queremos ya porque nadie le votó para esto," Feijóo declared, demanding Sánchez surrender to democracy and call for immediate elections. The government's estimate of attendance was significantly lower than the PP's, placing the number of participants between 45,000 and 50,000, compared to the PP's claim of over 100,000. This discrepancy highlights the ongoing political tensions in Spain. The event marks the sixth major demonstration against Sánchez's government in the past two years, underscoring the depth of public dissent.
