Abstract
This chapter studies secondary data (Annuals of the Ministry of the Interior) in order to relate protest events in Spain with those occurring in the rest of the world, using the model applied by Tarrow (Protesta Social. Hacer, Barcelona, 2002) in the case of Italian protests, and Herrera (América Latina Hoy 48:165–189, 2008), in the Argentinian protest. The hypothesis is that the Indignado Movement in Spain is the local expression of a global movement, framed within the Anti-Austerity Movement. On the basis of the concept of the “cycle of protests”, the frequency, intensity, sectoral spread and demands put forward have been analysed to determine the existence of a cycle of protests in Spain, in which the Indignado protest developed.
This chapter would not have been possible without the collaboration of Dr. Clemente J. Navarro, director of the Centre for Local Political Sociology and Policies.

Notes
- 1.
“Think globally, act locally” is the slogan on which the framework of collective action of the global justice movement rested. Flesher studied collective identity in the global justice movement.
- 2.
The “gag law” refers to Basic Law 4/2015, 30 March, on the Protection of Public Safety.
- 3.
This is reflected in the Charter for Democracy (2014) edited by various mobilisation groups, laying out their aspirations which are not represented in the institutions.
