A large-scale demonstration, organized by more than 200 civil society associations, took place in Madrid on Sunday 26 June under the slogan “We are risking our lives” to protest against the new abortion law which will allow abortion from the age of 16 without the consent of the community parents allowed. Under the motto “End the laws against the truth and human nature”, the large-scale demonstration, in which between 20,000 and 100,000 people took part, depending on the source, began at 12 noon at the Glorieta de Bilbao and ended at the Plaza de Colón. There, an imposing stage gave the performances and speeches of great personalities the finishing touch. The sun was beating down on us almost vertically after the sky was cloudless.
Jaime Mayor Oreja, Member and Promoter of NEOS, Carmen Fernández de la Cigoña, Director of the CEU Institute for Family Studies and member of the ACdP, Josep Miró, Coordinator of the Assembly of Associations for Life, Freedom and Dignity, Juan Carlos Corvera, President of Educatio Servanda, and María San Gil, Vice-President of the Villacisneros Foundation and member of NEOS, attended the event alongside other representatives of pro-life associations.

I prefer to be with society to defend those who are not being defended by anyone at the moment,” Abascal told Europa Press while attending the march and taking photos with the participants, who began to tell him ” President, President.” A detail not noticed by the others, who were immense.
Other Vox members also took part in the mass demonstration, such as Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, Rocío Monasterio and Jorge Buxadé. Thousands of families, children and the elderly, dozens of priests and nuns, and Bishop Emeritus of El Callao (Peru), Spaniard José Luis del Palacio also attended.
