Hundreds of protesters against the amnesty have paralyzed traffic on the first section of the A-6 highway, the main entrance to Madrid. The crowd marches determinedly towards the Moncloa Palace, headquarters of the Presidency of the Government.

The protesters advanced on foot between the vehicles along Princesa Street until they encountered a police barrier that prevented them from continuing on their way. Despite having passed the Victory Arch, their progress was stopped by agents before reaching Seneca Avenue. The scene reflects a confrontation between the determination of the protesters and the firm police presence, creating a tense scene in the streets of Madrid.

The scene on the highway showed protesters advancing between cars, chanting slogans and displaying banners reflecting their discontent with government policy. Police presence has been intensified in the area to ensure security and manage the disrupted traffic flow.

The protesters have decided to sit in the middle of the A-6 highway, interrupting the traffic flow to make their message of protest heard, shouting: “Pedro Sánchez, stand up!”

The central reason for the protest is concern about an amnesty that some consider inappropriate or unfair. Representatives of the protesters have expressed that their intention is to reach La Moncloa to make their demands heard directly to the Government.
