14. Spain IV: #spanishrevolution #takesthesquare

15. WHAT IS #SPANISHREVOLUTION? Crowds of people, coordinated by social media, massively and collectively react against politicians + their empty words Citizens claiming their dignity against treatment received by a system in which they no longer believe

16. it is formed by a large spectrum of political views but with one thing in common: faith in the system is lost. There is a need to transform representative democracy into a more direct & participatory one Lost Faith

17. It is free and more difficult to control: INTERNET. Politicians need to change the way they speak to citizens A new public space is born

18. Movement is horizontal. no leaders. every decision is voted in open assemblies Movement is international. it has happened in more than 20 democratic countries in less than a week Estructure
