15M

/ˌkinθe ˈeme/

proper noun/ˌkinθe ˈeme/

the Anti-austerity movement in Spain; a series of protests, demonstrations, and occupations against austerity policies in Spain that began around the local and regional elections of 2011 and 2012

“Aquí está la juventud precaria”, se presentaron. Un mes después nacía el 15-M. Surgió con tanta fuerza y llegó tan en silencio que dejó atónito a un país con poca querencia a la protesta callejera."Here is the precarious youth," they introduced themselves. A month later, the 15-M movement was born. It emerged with such force and arrived so silent that it stunned a country with little love for street protest.

Date on which the demonstrations began, 15 May 2011.
