Thousands march in Madrid for decent pensions amid protests across Europe
On October 24, a rally in defense of the state pension system took place in Madrid, organized by the pensioners' movement with support from trade unions, including the CGT. Demonstrators demanded pension indexation in line with real inflation, raising the minimum pension to the level of the minimum wage, and easier early retirement. The rally coincided with a day of protests in France and Italy, where authorities have tightened security measures.
