Miles de personas marcharon este sábado por el centro de Madrid contra el gobierno de Pedro Sánchez y reclamaron elecciones generales inmediatas. La protesta fue convocada por Sociedad Civil Española (SCE) y contó con el respaldo del Partido Popular (PP) y Vox. La crisis migratoria en Ceuta fue otro de los ejes centrales de la movilización.

La marcha comenzó en la Plaza de Cibeles y recorrió distintas calles de la capital española. Los manifestantes llevaron banderas de España y corearon consignas contra el presidente del Gobierno. “Sánchez dimisión” fue una de las frases que más se escuchó durante la protesta.

La cantidad de participantes fue motivo de una diferencia entre los organizadores y las autoridades. Sociedad Civil Española aseguró que participaron cerca de 180.000 personas, mientras que los datos oficiales difundidos situaron la asistencia en torno de las 20.000. La movilización se desarrolló de manera pacífica y contó con un importante operativo policial.

Qué reclamaron los manifestantes

La principal demanda fue la convocatoria de elecciones generales anticipadas. Sociedad Civil Española había pedido que los comicios se hagan antes del 15 de noviembre y también incluyó entre sus reclamos medidas vinculadas con la situación de Ceuta y Melilla. El manifiesto de la organización plantea además acciones contra Sánchez que atribuye a una supuesta responsabilidad política por la crisis.

La protesta también estuvo atravesada por el reclamo migratorio. Entre las consignas apareció “En defensa de España. No a la invasión de Ceuta y Melilla”, una expresión utilizada por los organizadores para referirse a la llegada de migrantes a esos territorios españoles. La palabra “invasión” forma parte del discurso de los convocantes y de algunos dirigentes opositores, no de una descripción independiente de la situación.

La crisis de Ceuta se profundizó desde fines de julio, cuando miles de migrantes llegaron desde Marruecos. La situación generó presión sobre los servicios de la ciudad y abrió un nuevo conflicto político entre el Gobierno central y la oposición.

En las últimas semanas, las autoridades españolas ampliaron los recursos de alojamiento y asistencia mientras avanzan las gestiones para el retorno de parte de los migrantes.

La presencia del PP y Vox

La movilización reunió a dirigentes de los dos principales partidos de la oposición de derecha. Santiago Abascal, líder de Vox, participó de la marcha y volvió a reclamar la salida de Sánchez. También estuvo Miguel Tellado, portavoz parlamentario del PP, quien cuestionó la gestión del Gobierno y defendió la convocatoria a elecciones.

Abascal calificó a Sánchez de “traidor” y pidió que sea juzgado. Sus declaraciones formaron parte de los reclamos de Vox durante la movilización y se sumaron a las críticas por la política migratoria del Gobierno. El PP, por su parte, también cuestionó la gestión de la crisis de Ceuta, aunque no respalda todas las exigencias incluidas en el manifiesto de la convocatoria.

La protesta fue la segunda Marcha por la Dignidad convocada por Sociedad Civil Española. La organización se presenta como una plataforma ciudadana que reúne a distintas entidades, aunque medios españoles señalaron vínculos de sus principales impulsores con sectores de la derecha y con antiguos dirigentes del PP, Ciudadanos y Vox.

Qué pasa ahora con las elecciones en España

Las próximas elecciones generales españolas deben celebrarse antes de agosto de 2027 si no hay un adelanto electoral. Por ahora, el Gobierno de Sánchez no convocó nuevos comicios. La protesta de este sábado busca precisamente presionar para que las elecciones se realicen antes de ese plazo.

Adina Flores, an activist and a self-proclaimed «civil rights» advocate with a colorful social media presence, is endorsing Eric Jones, the Democratic candidate for Congress in California’s 4th Congressional District.

The endorsement itself, which focuses on Jones’ promises to combat women’s sexual exploitation, is nothing out of the ordinary. But Flores’ Facebook, Instagram and Substack pages are full of eccentric content that frames political issues as a conflict between race, sexual orientation and secretive sources of influence. The endorsement raises questions for Jones, who has met with Flores multiple times according to social media clips, about whether he agrees with Flores’ views.

In one video, posted to Facebook, Flores stated she believed part of California, Sonoma County, was run by Jews.

«But we’re literally run by the gay Jewish mafia — the Zionists in Sonoma County. The Jews still run the world. That’s where we’re at,» Flores said. «All our money gets sent to Israel, but nobody wants to talk about that.»

«Evil Jews run the world through Masonic Lodges,» Flores said in an August Instagram post.

«Santa Rosa City Schools is always recruiting for little gay communists. Help save public school enrollment decline by sending your child off to liberal prison indoctrination centers,» she said in another post earlier this year.

When asked about Flores’ comments online, Jones’ campaign said he condemns prejudice towards the Jewish community.

«I firmly condemn any and all hate toward our Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities. It has no place in our district. My wife is Jewish, we are raising our kids in a Jewish household, I’m a fierce advocate for our public schools and educators, and I have zero tolerance for hateful commentary toward my neighbors or my family,» a campaign spokesperson said in a comment to Digital.

Beyond her comment about Jews, in much of her content, Flores bashes what she sees as efforts to indoctrinate kids in LGBTQ+ ideology through control over institutions like schools and local government.

«I wasn’t doing any of the wokeness. I stood up for conservative parents. So right now, look at this pride indoctrination. I’m not trying to be mean, but who made this logo? They got all the rainbow mafia colors, and it looks like a p-nis,» Flores said, holding up a design made by a local school.

The image depicts a tree on top of a hill, illustrated in rainbow colors.

«Like literally that’s where we’re at. So, I’m sorry that’s f—ing cracked out. If your child is in public school, please remove them because they’re going to be gay and r-tarded. Thank you, Santa Rosa schools,» Flores said.

Flores’ criticisms, usually couched in similar language, cut across both parties.

«Every day my Instagram algorithm is filled with reels of Democrats and Republicans arguing back and forth deciding who is more gay and r-tarded even though they are two sides of the same bird [sic],» Flores said.

«The real puppet master, as always, the Freemasons. This is not a conspiracy. And that is who is pulling the narrative of both sides — red and blue.»

Flores recounted that she was once a government employee but was forced out of the role and is banned from serving in public roles again.

«I got started in my activism because I am a former government employee. I’m a whistleblower who was forced out of the government.»

Flores said she was removed over COVID-19 mask mandates and the information that was being shared with parents.

For his own part, Jones has centered his campaign around issues like affordability, government transparency and protecting government-run programs.

On his website, Jones has listed three main priorities: ending corruption, lowering the cost of living and resource sustainability in government. His stances have attracted endorsements from progressive groups like Indivisible and Our Revolution, organizations with ties to progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Throughout his campaign, Jones has highlighted his family’s struggle with financial stability. He grew up in a military family and had a disabled father. According to Jones, the family also struggled to overcome medical debt, relying on Medicaid and food stamps.

In her endorsement of Jones, which she made shortly after the resignation of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., Flores praised Jones’ promise to be a voice for survivors of sexual misconduct. Swalwell, a prominent California Democrat, surrendered his office after several women accused him of unwanted sexual advances, allegations that he denied.

«Thank you for being one of the only candidates — and this is insane because you’re not even in office yet, but you’re talking about this very critical issue, so God bless you, brother,» Flores said.

After Digital reached out to Flores, who has over 144,000 followers on Instagram, for comment, she posted a video response on Instagram dismissing the inquiry and saying she was a «private citizen» and that her social media accounts are «not monetized.»

«My views are mine & mine alone. I am an unpaid advocate & have never been paid to support a political candidate,» her post said. «I am highly against the two-party system. If I feel someone is a good fit for office, I support them. F— your gangs! It’s really that simple!»

President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington this week, one day after signing a Greenland security agreement that, once in force, would bar non-NATO states such as China from establishing a military presence there, sharpening the Arctic-security backdrop to their face-to-face talks.

Xi’s three-day state visit unfolded against that backdrop, with Trump hosting a formal White House arrival ceremony, holding high-stakes talks, joining Xi for a tour of the National Archives and presiding over a state dinner attended by some of America’s most prominent technology executives.

A senior U.S. official told Digital that Trump and Xi discussed the economy, trade, «Super Intelligence» and cooperation on a range of shared priorities, though it remained unclear what concrete agreements emerged from behind closed doors.

TRUMP-XI REUNION COMES WITH UNFINISHED BUSINESS — AND A BIGGER BATTLE LOOMING

Trump has so far stopped short of announcing a concrete agreement from Xi’s Washington visit, a contrast to his May trip to Beijing.

Trump was already telling reporters before leaving China that the two countries had made «some fantastic trade deals,» even though the White House did not release its full economic deal package until two days after the summit.

Thursday’s state dinner drew 134 guests, including the two leaders and prominent technology figures such as Jensen Huang of Nvidia, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Lisa Su of AMD, Tim Cook of Apple, Sam Altman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Satya Nadella of Microsoft and Sundar Pichai of Google.

Christine Balling, senior vice president for professional affiliations at The Institute of World Politics, told Digital that inviting America’s top AI tycoons to Thursday night’s state dinner was a strategic move to show Xi that the United States is the world’s top dog in the AI race.

«I think the significance of the timing of this meeting, whether it’s intentional or not, shows that the Trump administration is taking The future of AI and the world very, very seriously,» she said. «I think that is the most significant takeaway. But the bottom line is, I think the most important images were those of all of the AI techs who were invited to that state dinner.»

Greenland has emerged as a backdrop to Trump’s two meetings with Xi this year. Negotiations over an expanded U.S. security role there began months before Trump traveled to Beijing in May, while Trump renewed his public pressure over Greenland during the summer as his administration continued negotiations aimed in part at limiting Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic.

Five days before Xi arrived in Washington, Trump announced a Greenland security agreement that was formally signed Sept. 22 and, once in force, would expand the U.S. military position while restricting Chinese military presence and certain sensitive investments in the territory.

China has had its eye on Greenland for years, especially as it looks to expand its role in the Arctic. Beijing has shown interest in Greenland’s infrastructure and natural resources, including its valuable rare earth and critical mineral deposits. U.S. officials have also pointed to past Chinese efforts involving a former U.S. naval base and airport projects as signs of Beijing’s broader ambitions in the region.

Balling is an expert in foreign policy, particularly in the Western hemisphere, and says Trump’s historic deal with Greenland struck a massive blow to China.

TRUMP DECLARES VICTORY IN HISTORIC DEAL WITH GREENLAND AS HE SECURES ‘PERMANENT’ US MILITARY RIGHTS

«Number one, that is a tremendous victory for the United States and frankly, the free world,» she said. «It means that the United States has the ability to establish two more bases at present. So we have a Space Force base … and now secured land, air, and sea rights across Greenland. We have the ability to screen out any other country who expresses interest in either establishing any sort of military presence and or investment.»

«That means that the United States and NATO allies are going to have first right of refusal when it comes to mining, and not only for rare elements, but also oil and gas and data centers.»

SECURITY EXPERT HAILS TRUMP’S GREENLAND PACT AS A ‘BIG DEAL’ ON PAR WITH ALASKA PURCHASE

China has long sought a larger Arctic role, declaring itself a «near-Arctic state» and promoting a «Polar Silk Road» encompassing commerce, research and resource development.

Balling argued that Beijing had reason to oppose the U.S.-Denmark-Greenland agreement because the United States remains heavily reliant on China for several critical-mineral supply chains.

«I also have to say for all of those who were mocking the Trump administration and President Trump’s talk about buying or invading Greenland, they have an egg on their faces now,» she said. «I never for a moment thought that President Trump was serious about this. I think that what he was serious about, was exactly what was achieved in the agreement that was just signed.»
