Overview
- Demonstrations took place in dozens of cities, with turnouts reported in Valladolid, Oviedo and Vigo, extending the platform’s earlier mobilization.
- Protesters read a common manifesto seeking a VAT exemption for turnover under €85,000 and universal cash-basis VAT so tax is paid only once invoices are collected.
- Demands also targeted proportional social-security quotas, IRPF bracket changes, immediate 100% deduction of professional investments, a one-stop administrative window and protection of family homes.
- The movement pressed for a full overhaul of the cessation-of-activity benefit, citing that about 58% of applicants do not receive support when forced to close.
- Marchers wore black with a single red glove to mourn shuttered businesses, and no immediate government concessions were reported after the latest actions.
