Overview

• The platform Por un Monte Galego con Futuro led the synchronized actions, with the nationalist union CIG taking the initiative to call the demonstrations.
• A unified manifesto was read in every location, warning of a “Prestige do interior” and urging an end to land speculation and the use of forests as cheap sites for multinationals.
• Hundreds gathered at A Coruña’s Obelisco, and one of the largest concentrations took place in Ourense’s Praza Maior.
• The coalition brings together more than fifty groups, including Greenpeace, Ecoloxistas en Acción, Hábitat, Adega, the CIG, and the Sindicato Labrego Galego.
• Protesters pressed the Xunta de Galicia for urgent changes to the forestry model, citing climate change, rural abandonment, and fast‑growing monocultures as key drivers of recent fires.
