The sign "Yes we camp" stands out well in the center of the main tent of the camp to Plaza Catalunya in Barcelona. Suit the movement 15-M: peaceful, heterogeneous, spontaneous but also determined. "We will not leave this place - says Guillermo, a university student - we still have too many things to say.

For the protesters do not even care to know the verdict of the Board of Elections, asked to rule on the legality of the occupation during the election campaign.

"We're not doing politics - make Luz, Madrid unemployed - we do not claim, nor vote or abstention. And this is scary, we are a ethical revolution and the parties are put off by our clarity.
