Marcha por el clima on 6 December in Madrid. Organisers estimated 500,000 people attended the protest march. Greta Thunberg was there and read a short statement to the crowd at the end. A manifesto - The World Woke Up Facing A Climate Emergency - for climate justice and climate action was read to the crowd by various people from different organisations and constituencies. A concert then followed entertaining people into late into the night.
The march was lead by Fridays for Future students, Chileans and Indigenous people.
