Overview
- Madrid Orgullo (MADO) runs June 25 to July 5 with a state manifestation scheduled to march from Atocha to Plaza de Colón on Saturday, July 4 under the slogan “¡A las calles con orgullo! Disidencia y resistencia.”
- Organizers and federations in Spain say attacks on LGBT+ people have risen sharply and are calling for a national Pacto de Estado against hate speech after the federation president said assaults tripled in two years.
- Mexico City’s 48th Pride March is confirmed for Saturday, June 27 and will end at the Zócalo after a late agreement with the city government that also imposes operational limits because of the FIFA Fan Fest.
- Operational changes in Mexico City include prohibition of floats onto the Zócalo plancha with float routes ending at Reforma Norte, main stages placed near Bellas Artes/Eje Central, and coordinated security and health deployments by SSC and the city health office.
- Both events mix mass protest and large cultural lineups to amplify messages about rights and safety, with Madrid’s pregón featuring La Plexy and trans actors and Mexico City’s roster including Kenia Os, Niurka Marcos, Regina Orozco and María Daniela y su Sonido Lasser.
