Tens of thousands of members of the newly-formed political protest group the '15M Indignados' (indignants) marched on the main government buildings in both Las Palmas and Santa Cruz on Sunday evening as part of a nationwide mobilisation for real democracy.

The marches went off without incident although there were some tense moments when the protestors vented their anger on major banks for their role in the current economic crisis and criticised the latest government cutbacks. More demonstrations are planned in the coming days ahead of the EU Summit on 27 June which is expected to adopt further belt-tightening initiatives.
