Manifestación na tarde do domingo en Vigo polo 8M.
A segunda marcha do 8M en Vigo congregou a centos de persoas pola resistencia feminista e os dereitos das mulleres, nunha xornada marcada de novo pola división do movemento con dúas mobilizacións diferenciadas

Overview

  • Organizers said about 15,000 people marched from Praza de España to Porta do Sol, chanting abolitionist slogans.
  • The closing manifesto was read by Bibiana García and Cristina Pérez of Redeiras, and by Carmen Campoy and Ángela Mondelo of Furias.
  • Elas Galiza staged a silent tribute in white, carrying banners and mosaics with the names of women killed in 2025, in their third year of this memorial.
  • A motorcyclist and a car breached the traffic cutoff on Gran Vía shortly after the march began, with no local police on scene at that instant and officers arriving quickly after being alerted.
  • Organizers expressed satisfaction with the turnout for a Sunday morning, received congratulations from Carmela Silva, and noted a second demonstration was scheduled for 6 p.m. from Praza de España.
