Thousands gathered in Madrid to defend public pensions and oppose privatization efforts. The demonstration, organized by COESPE, aimed to ensure pensioners' purchasing power and protection. Participants expressed concerns about future pensions and the trend towards privatization. The march was peaceful, covering nearly two kilometers. Opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo promised to increase pensions if elected, countering government claims about potential reforms. The average pension in Spain reached €1,576 per month for about 6.8 million beneficiaries.
