It was a mobilization characterized by its festive character, with songs such as ‘Que viva España’ by Manolo Escobar or ‘I will resist’ by the Dynamic Duo. Attendees filled half of the Plaza del Castillo, where many flags of Spain, Europe and part of Navarre were on display, as well as posters with the motto “Spain on its feet” or “Spain does not surrender.” Slogans such as ‘Puigdemont to prison’, ‘Pedro Sánchez resigns’ and ‘Long live Spain’ are also sung.

There were also deputies Carlos García Adanero and Sergio Sayas, parliamentarian Irene Royo and Pamplona councilor Carmen Alba. From other parties was the Vox parliamentarian Emilio Jiménez.

Feijóo closed the meeting in Madrid with a speech in which he also opined that next week’s vote, in which Sánchez is expected to be inaugurated, “will mean the opposite of what was voted at the ballot box on July 23.”
