There is great energy this morning in the head office in Madrid of the Spanish national anti-poverty campaign, Pobreza Cero. Tens of volunteers have been here since dawn packing materials and lining up the thousands of multi-coloured whistles that protestors will blow to call time on governments for taking action to meet the MDGS. Here in Madrid and in 50 cities around the country people are ready to take to the streets under the banner " Rebel Against Poverty"/“Rebélate contra la Pobreza”.
