May 15 demonstrators choose to stay in Sol
Protestors vote to continue occupation of square for week after election
The 15-M movement did not break up on Sunday night as planned. Instead, the spontaneous sit-in will continue for another week at Madrid's Puerta del Sol, a citizen assembly decided. Next Sunday, a new popular vote will determine whether the public protest against Spain's political class goes any further, or whether two weeks of round-the-clock demonstrations are enough to get their message across.
A new committee will also ensure that the protest does not peter out or disband in case the police should intervene. The security forces have so far allowed the demonstrators to remain in Sol despite an official ban on the protests ahead of Sunday's local and regional elections. Thousands of people continue to demand "real democracy" in several Spanish cities.
