- Fun rally with a serious message stops downtown Madrid
- The march saw groups from every part of the political spectrum carry a range of messages about trade justice, debt cancellation, hunger and the MDGs. The overriding message, that the global crisis could not be the excuse to the developed world for reneging on their commitments to the poorest. The spotlight shone brightest on the Spanish government of course, who’s commitment to reaching 0.7% of GNI in aid is being monitored by civil society against the backdrop of a recession and rapidly rising national unemployment.
- Spanish Campaigners Ready to Blow The Whistle on Poverty
- There is great energy this morning in the head office in Madrid of the Spanish national anti-poverty campaign, Pobreza Cero.

Here in Madrid and in 50 cities around the country people are ready to take to the streets under the banner " Rebel Against Poverty"/“Rebélate contra la Pobreza”.
