Tens of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Madrid on Saturday, turning the city into a sea of gold and red national flags. At least seven police officers were injured as the "March for Dignity" descended into chaos. The target of their rage was Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, whose government is currently drowning in a series of corruption scandals.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the crowd carried banners calling for the resignation of the "socialist mafia." Masked protesters were detained on the road to the Moncloa Palace, where Sanchez lives with his family. The spectacle was organized by the far-right Vox party and the opposition People's Party, turning the Spanish capital into a theater of populist fury.

As the world’s elites gather at film festivals and climate summits, the streets of Madrid are reminding them that the biological public can still scream. The air was thick with the scent of smoke and the sound of whistles. While Sanchez clings to power with a fragile coalition, the physical reality of tens of thousands of people demanding his head is a debt that even his best spin doctors cannot easily settle.
