Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Update Шаблон:Infobox civil conflict The 2023 Spanish protests are a series of protests which began in October 2023, resulting from the announced negotiations of then-acting prime minister Pedro Sánchez's Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) with former president of the Government of Catalonia Carles Puigdemont's Together for Catalonia (Junts) party. These negotiations were aimed at forming a governing coalition after the 2023 Spanish general election.[1][2]

Alberto Núñez Feijóo's People's Party (PP), failed to form a government as they could not muster enough support to reach a parliamentary majority. After Feijóo failed in his investiture vote, King Felipe VI instructed Sánchez with the task of forming a government.[3] The distribution of seats, after the election resulted in Sánchez being required to rely on Junts (with seven seats in Congress at the time) to vote in his favor to be able to form a government.[4][5] Junts had not supported him in the formation of previous governments, having voted against him in his July 2019 and January 2020 investiture votes.[6][7]

The starting position of Junts and Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) in negotiations were the amnesty of all participants in the 2017 Catalan independence referendum, and the possibility of holding a new referendum. Catalan Civil Society (SCC), a group opposed to Catalan independence, called a demonstration for 8 October, in response to a potential amnesty.[8] On 28 October Sánchez discussed the amnesty proposal at a PSOE Federal Committee, as part of government formation negotiations.[9][10]

The People's Party (PP) called their first protest against a possible amnesty for the Catalan pro-independence supporters by Sánchez before Alberto Núñez Feijóo presented himself for investiture.[11] The protest took place in the Plaza de Felipe II in Madrid on the morning of September 24.[12][13] Feijóo was supported by former presidents José María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy, as well as by other PP barons such as Almeida and Ayuso.[11][12][14] A delegation of the government of the Community of Madrid estimated that more than 40,000 people attended the event, while the PP put the number at 60,000. There was no official confirmation of the number who attended. [12][14]

The acting vice-president Yolanda Díaz said about this event that the "proposal of the right wing is to set fire to Catalonia", while the president of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Pere Aragonès, said that the meeting of the PP was "a demonstration of hatred and revenge against Catalonia".[15]

The Valencia Government Delegation reported 4,500 protestors in Castellón, including Castellón mayor Begoña Carrasco.[52] In Valencia, several people reportedly attacked journalist Matilde Alcaraz and her cameraman while covering the protests for À Punt.[53]

13 November

An estimated 80,000 people gathered in Madrid's Puerta del Sol square against the amnesty deal, while several other thousands gathered in cities across the country. Among the protesters was PP leadership, including former prime minister José María Aznar, Madrid regional premier Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and Madrid Madrid Mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida.[54] Protesters were also present in the vicinity of the PSOE headquarters. Among those on Ferraz Street was Vox President Santiago Abascal, who was accompanied by American journalist and former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson.[55] In Valencia, protesters were limited to 100 outside the headquarters of the Socialist Party of the Valencian Country (PPSV), a regional branch of the PSOE.[56]

Solidaridad, a trade union affiliated with Vox, called for a general strike for 24 November.[57] The strike was deemed illegal by the Spanish government despite being postulated within the 10-day announcement limit as the nature of the protests were deemed to be strictly political and not related to labor demands, in violation of strike laws.[58][59]

14 November

There were protests outside of the PSOE headquarters on Ferraz Street.[60] The Government Delegation reported 1,300 people there.[61] Protesters placed 20 inflatable dolls in the front row of the protest in order to mock the PSOE as "not a political party, but a strip club".[62][60][61] Protestors made anti-Sánchez chants to police to join their sides in the protests. There were also protesters outside of the Congress of Deputies.[63]

It was reported that 10 student associations, affiliated with Vox, protested in front of the Complutense Faculty of Law, while a smaller number of students protested at the University of Barcelona's Faculty of Law. The number of protesters were reported between 50-100 in Complutense, while 20 were reported at the University of Barcelona.[64][65]

Vox filed a complaint against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez amidst his amnesty proposals to the Supreme Court of Spain for a precautionary suspension of his investiture, which did not happen.[66] The petition was rejected by the Court, noting that Santiago Abascal forgot to state what crime Sánchez had committed and even who he was complaining against.[67][68]

15 November

Шаблон:Multiple image Protests outside of the PSOE headquarters occurred with protesters carrying the flags of Spain and making anti-Puigdemont chants. There were similar chanting from those of the previous protest.[69]

16 November

A protest reported to be 4,000 people by DW protesting after Sanchez's re-election. The protesters were reported to have thrown flares and other objects at police, who issued warnings to the protesters.[70]

17 November

A reduction in the number of protestors was noted, as only around 1,000 protesters were reported on Ferraz Street in Madrid.[71] The Unidades de Intervención Policial (UIP), a riot police sub-unit of the National Police Corps, were overseeing the protests. Present at the protest were Vox politicians, including Vice President Javier Ortega Smith and Junta de Castilla y León Vice President Juan García Gallardo. According to the Union of Federal Police (UFP), Ortega attempted to coerce the UIP by "directing police to accommodate his own interests", as well as not presenting his credentials as a member of the Congress of Deputies to the UIP as he had done on November 16.[72] The UFP reneged Ortega for "abusing his condition as a Deputy", as well as making a statement that "these police are the same ones that defended your boss, Mr. Abascal".[73] Ortega responded by stating that he had come with cameras in order to prevent violence in the protests. Ortega claimed he had information that some units of the UIP had committed excessive force that would "fall within the Penal Code as an abuse of authority"[74] When the protests ended, there was a large quantity of alcoholic containers and soda bottles for which a cleaning crew had to be called.[75]

18 November

Protests continued as 170,000 people demonstrated in Madrid's Plaza de Cibeles, according to the Spanish Government Delegation.[76] Protest organizers (among them Vox president Santiago Abascal and People's Party president Alberto Núñez Feijóo) claimed close to 1 million people attended the protests.[77] An estimated 3,000 people demonstrated outside the headquarters of the PSOE, while about 400 protesters marched towards the Palace of Moncloa through the A-6 highway,[76][78][79] closing the road for about 1 hour.[80] The bulk of the protesters were composed of Christian associations, supporters of the transition, and critics of the Spanish electoral system.[81]

Noviembre Nacional
