Where these data come from
From “All go” to “do not represent us”. Responses to the economic crisis in Argentina and Spain

Abstract

Social responses to the 2001 crisis in Argentina marked a watershed in mass mobilisations in the country in terms of new forms of protest, organization and collective action. Popular assemblies, caceroladas (pot-banging protests), occupations of factories or unused spaces are some of the action strategies that became commonplace from 2001 onwards. Ten years later, the economic crisis in the Spanish State also marks a turning point in social mobilization in Spain, which reached its peak on 15 May 2011. “Lxs indignadxs”(the outraged or indignant) reinstated some of the forms of protest seen in Argentina, but also established new avenues of action and disobedience. Differences in the social and political context conditioned the rise of movements in Argentina related to neighbourhood and employment protests (picketers), or to the monetary crisis (savers), while in Spain civic platforms arose in response to social spending cuts in education, health, etc., or the housing crisis (those affected by mortgages, evictions, etc.).
