Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: On the corner of Rothschild and Madrid

Tent-city activists hold live video chat with Madrid’s ‘May 15’ protesters, jointly prepare for next month’s int. anti-bank ‘Day of Rage’.

Talkbacks (8)

Fighting bad lighting and a spotty Internet connection, activists at the Rothschild tent city held a live chat Wednesday night with leaders of the “May 15” anti-government protests that have brought hundreds of thousands into the streets across Spain, since they began over three months ago.

Organizers said that the online meet-up, billed as “Live From Madrid” was called so thatactivists from the two movements could interact with one another and share ideas for upcoming protest events, including the international anti-bank “Day of Rage” protests scheduled for September 17, and the international anti-government protest day, called for October 15.

The live chat was also meant as a way for Rothschild protesters to learn from the May 15 activists, who have accrued a bit more experience to share with the younger July 14 movement.

The meeting was held at the “Rothschild corner of Tahrir” tent near Sheinkin street, and was attended by a few dozen protesters and curious passersby. On the Madrid side, about half-a-dozen Spaniards sat smiling and waving, making “jazz hands,” the symbolfor applause in American Sign Language.
