Spain sees widespread protests over national sovereignty

Spontaneous protests have taken place across various cities and towns in Spain as citizens express indignation regarding national sovereignty and the government's response to recent tensions in Ceuta. Demonstrators utilized the national flag as a symbol of protest against what they perceive as an anti-national direction taken by the current administration.

Estimates regarding the scale of the demonstrations vary. While some sources suggest figures as high as 700,000 participants nationwide, government delegations have reported numbers closer to 500,000. In specific locations like Seville, local calculations suggest a significant turnout, though critics note that only a fraction of the country's municipalities participated in the organized movement.
