The course of events since the last manifestation of 24-O Aguere, turned to this new demonstration for Decolonization and Independence of the Canary Islands, an event to follow with great interest . Press Archipelago, which had maintained a campaign of degradation of the independence movement, the boycott of Ben Magec inexplicable, non-participation of some organizations, organizational independence and doubts about this new event, did not augur much hope of success.

The demonstrators, showing great civility, not fall into provocation and simply spent some anti-fascist songs.
During the march through the streets of the Isleta, Banda Guayedra enlivened the proceedings with his music. The protesters raised their proclamations peacefully throughout the tour, screaming as "Canary is not Spain, it is my nation" , "7 islands, one nation" , " gofio, work, culture and freedom "or " Spain listening, Canary Islands are in the fight " . Faced with bigoted statements of bystanders, the march answered with chants like "English on that boat" .

Then Laura, a girl representative of a group of Latin Americans living in the Canary Islands, in solidarity with the cause of independence, he read his speech: " This representation also boosts American voice, because we live here, and feel part of this town, where we join every day.

Finally, Lara Gonzalez and Raul Vega, on behalf of the Bureau read the manifesto.
The most evident success of the event, has passed the media terrorism, the role of some assumptions of independence and many more obstacles. In the end, who spoke was the street, which is what needs to talk. There, thousands of canaries, were those who gave their verdict.
