(108,903 posts)38. Support for 15-M protest movement grows, says new opinon poll
http://elpais.com/elpais/2013/05/19/inenglish/1368993293_946824.html
Two years after the 15-M protest movement blossomed, public sympathy for the protest organization continues to grow, according to a poll conducted for EL PAÍS.
The survey by Metroscopia shows that Spaniards believe that 15-M, which sprouted in 2011, was a spontaneous movement that continues to have solid public backing as a peaceful protest drive.
Of the 14,000 people interviewed, 63 percent said they support the movement a figure similar to that of two years ago and somewhat higher than that of 2012, a few months after the Popular Party (PP) landslide election victory. Support for the protests was higher among Socialist voters that those who support the PP, and among younger respondents.
Socialist dichotomy
The 87-percent support among Socialist supporters gives a clear idea of the dichotomy between the partys own institutions and those issues its members feel more comfortable protesting about, such as the causes of the ongoing crisis.
