The 15M Spanish movement: lights and shadows

Abstract

The following text does not present anything other than the view of the author about the movement of May 15, in such a way that it in no case represents an official position, not even necessarily a view shared by many of the activists of this movement. This apart, the signer cannot boast a prolific knowledge of endless and complex debates surrounding the 15-M. His experimental knowledge of the movement comes especially from the Madrid demonstration and, in a lighter degree, from the contact with the Galician and Catalan bases of 15-M, and from endless conversations with many people who have worked in popular assemblies in many different places.
