Thousands flooded Madrid’s streets on June 26, waving banners and chanting slogans against NATO as the alliance prepared for its annual summit. With tensions rising over global conflicts, protesters slammed the organization for 'profiting from destruction' and fueling inequality. 📢
One demonstrator told CGTN: 'NATO doesn’t protect peace—it creates chaos. Wars make a tiny group rich while ordinary people suffer.' Another added: 'They sell weapons, stir conflict, and call it security. We’re here to say: No more!' 🔥
The protests spotlight growing youth-led movements demanding accountability from institutions tied to war economies. As Madrid hosted world leaders from June 29-30, activists questioned NATO’s role in an era of climate crises and widening inequality. 💸🌐
From students to artists, the crowd reflected a generation wary of militarization. As one sign read: 'Our future isn’t for sale.' ✨
