The FEMP, whose president is María José García-Pelayo, called them for 20:00 at town-hall doors, in support of Ceuta. The government criticised the call as «partidista» (partisan). Slogans at Cibeles, which RTVE does not present as findings: «Pedro Sánchez, dimisión» and «Pedro Sánchez, a prisión». RTVE cites police charges at Cibeles late in the day. The Cibeles figure is the Government Delegation’s, via RTVE. No unattributed national total is used here.
