Approximately 500 people marched through the streets of Manresa this Sunday, March 8th, in an anti-fascist and feminist demonstration that resulted in vandalism at the Junts party headquarters.

The march, organized by local groups including Acció Lila and Arran, started at the Lluís de Peguera Institute. Despite persistent rain, protesters moved through Passeig Pere III carrying banners with slogans such as Revolutionary Feminism against Reactionary Fascism.
Tensions escalated at the Junts per Manresa office on Passeig de la República. Protesters smashed the glass door and spray-painted messages against the party and its leader, Ramon Bacardit, accusing him of shifting towards right-wing ideologies.
The event concluded at Plaça Major after symbolic actions, including hanging effigies of international leaders at Plaça Neus Català. The demonstration ended with traditional feminist chants and the burning of cardboard signs as the rain subsided.
