May Day Rally Draws Thousands To Madrid’s Gran Vía
People march along Gran Via during the International Workers' Day demonstration in Madrid, Spain, on May 1, 2026. The event, organized by the main trade unions CCOO and UGT, features the slogan ''Rights, not trenches. Wages, housing and democracy.'' The rally begins at midday near Alcala and moves toward Plaza de Espana, bringing together workers from multiple sectors who call for higher wages, stronger protections, and urgent measures to address the housing crisis, a central issue in this year's mobilization in the Spanish capital.
