IGLESIAS TURRION, PABLO. The Red Thread. The revolt against the Aznar Government following the attacks of March 11, 2004. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2006, n.4, pp.123-144. ISSN 1794-2489.

In this article we will analyze some aspects of the popular revolt against the Spanish Government in Madrid on 13th March 2004, after the Al Qaeda attacks. We will explain how that revolt was not just a national or local event, but a systemic crisis and a stage of a global mobilization process. The NTIC (New Technologies of Information and Communication) allow new Anti-Systemic Movements against Capital and War to transcend the national dimension of protest scenarios, as well as to practice new collective action repertoires by the construction of multi-scalar spaces of meaning. We will describe the Madrid mobilizations against the Aznar Government on the 13th of March as an example of that.

Palabras clave : Social movements; collective action; civil disobedience; NTIC; global movement; global war; spatial process.
