15-M. The reappearance of the Fireflies

Abstract

The extraordinary surprise caused by the emergence of so-called 15-M movement tends to overshadow the grave deterioration of living conditions of the Spanish population that has generated it. Also, the huge disappointment that the move reflects the call to politicians is a consequence of the peculiar Spanish historical development of recent decades and the pent-up frustration hopes dashed by the transition from the seventies. It would thus be to explore what are the historical roots of the uprising quincemayista and the concrete conditions in which there has been hatching.
