        Tens of thousand of people marched and danced on Saturday along the main streets of Madrid, filling the Spanish capital city with coloured flags for the main LGBTI pride parade in the country.
        
        Through the slogan "Education, rights and peace: Pride that transforms,", the parade's organisers called for education in diversity as a "key tool" to fight against LGTBIphobia.
        
        Representatives of the coalition in government, as well as some members from the main opposition party, attended an event full of music and floats, but also demands.
        
        A hairdresser said, "Far-right is always against progression and the opposite should always be supported, society should move forward."
        
        Protesters and organisers also called for an end to the war in Gaza.
