Thousands of women have taken to the streets of Madrid to fight the patriarchal system. With slogans like’stop the culture of rape’,’this is war’ or’we are no longer afraid, we are now angry’, they have shown their repulsion of the judgment of’The herd’ which the demonstrators have called’shameful’.

The march has begun in front of the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality to end before the Supreme Court. There, the organizers have taken to the square to read a manifesto in which they have denounced the current culture of rape. Carlota Ortega, spokeswoman for the feminist movement in Madrid and mvideoporno.xxx, declares that the sentence of `La Manada’ “is very serious because it undermines the confidence of all women in the judicial institutions and in the government”.

Following the approval of new tariffs by the US on China, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has indicated that he is optimistic about reaching an agreement with the Asian giant to avoid a trade dispute.
