Organisers’ figures were much higher. For Madrid, EFE reports 400,000 marchers and Europa Press 600,000, both attributed to the Tenants’ Union. These differing estimates should not be treated as an established count or as the number of people striking nationwide.
AFP describes late-evening clashes in Madrid and Barcelona after initially peaceful marches, as well as transport disruption during the day. Housing and wages remain central demands. This assessment of the demonstrations follows the earlier report on the strike’s opening.
