Vision´s from 15-M km 0 Madrid Plaza del Sol - The Spanish Revolution (¿?)

Note: this is simply a vision of what it may be from an outsider.
 
15-M Movement
Branch: Madrid, Plaza del Sol (km0)
 
They are: 15-M Movement, Very well Organized, mix of people,  divided by Action Groups (politics, economic, Social, Food, Health) , camped in Madrid Plaza del Sol; They want to spread branches to local comunities and Barrios/districts, other Autonomies, Countries. Descentralize is now the key I suppose. Network is king, will it be a mess?
They belive: Active Citizanship, Horizontal Hierarquie of their organization and decison making, team Spirit, Diversity of ideals (but mostly social), not a political movement, not a political party event.
They decide: In Popular Assemblies held when found suitable and appropriete (can be daily), unanimous vote (by hand in the air)
They pacificlly protest for: a Real Democracy (need to define this), to consolidate in few points what are they protesting for (their are discontent with the actual political/economical/social system)
They have: No rush to define the aim of this protest (even though its hard to make decisions or pact ideals and bullet points). They have to define why are they there and where are they going with this?
They will stay?: as long as the General/Local assemblies find suitable (and Goverment does not decide to get them out like they did in Barcelona´s camp in plaza catalunya)
 
Let´s see where they go, I admire the citizenship mobilization that they have created, put back politics, ethic, values, belives, etc on the street talk from kids to grandpas. And for me that´s the goal they have achieved... The rest is turning to politics...
 
In Madrid plaza del Sol is a mix of a socio political action, ideas, actions but also has converted into a touristic attraction.
The Media is king in the XXI century, and 15-M knows and uses that.
