Around 400 to 1000 people marched silently through central Santander on March 22 demanding accountability for the collapse of a walkway at El Bocal that killed six on March 3. Organized by neighborhood, environmental, and social groups, the protest started at the Government Delegation and ended at City Hall. Participants called for truth, transparency, and prevention of such an avoidable tragedy.
