Thousands of Spaniards took to the streets of the Spanish capital, Madrid, to demonstrate for investment in the country's health care system, this Sunday. According to the local press, the demonstration had the motto "recover public health"

The Spanish television station Telecinco revealed that the demonstration, which was concentrated in the Plaza de Cibeles, was called by the Neighborhood Association of the Neighborhoods and Towns of Madrid and, according to its data, gathered around 200,000 people.

At the demonstration, the Spaniards accused the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, of diverting money to private health care and of having a plan to dismantle public health care.

The lack of doctors and nurses in health centers was also criticized, and the fact that primary care only accounts for 10% of the health budget, when the World Health Organization says it should be 25%.

Some Spanish political parties were also present at the demonstration, such as the PSOE, Más Madrid and Podemos.
