Overview

• Police counted about 2,000 people marching from León Cathedral to the Junta’s delegation in the city.
• Chants demanded the ouster of President Alfonso Fernández Mañueco and Environment Minister Juan Carlos Suárez‑Quiñones.
• Demonstrators honored three August victims—two volunteers from Quintana and Congosto and a Soria firefighter—and burned an effigy with the minister’s face.
• Firefighters called for a 100% public, stable model focused on prevention and for reclassification as bomberos forestales instead of peones forestales.
• The rally featured opposition leaders and participants from other provinces and increases pressure with regional elections roughly six months away.
