“What I've learned from my blog after 9 years

[sakib60]

On June 21, the Provincial Court of Navarre ordered the provisional release of the five members of "La Manada," the five men sentenced to nine years in prison for sexually abusing a young woman in Madrid during the 2016 San Fermin festival. They were released on bail of 6,000 euros.

The decision has sparked a massive outcry and outrage, expressed and phone number list channeled through social media, heightened by the possibility that a television station was attempting to arrange an interview with one of the convicted men. Protest demonstrations were held in several Spanish cities on Thursday the 21st and Friday the 22nd, and the hashtags #LaManada and #LaManadaAndaSuelta were trending topics on Twitter for two days in a row (also associated with the hashtag #JusticiaPatrialcal). Anger, disbelief, helplessness, and frustration permeated the messages.

But how widespread was this outrage? Was it driven by specific groups? And in which cities was it greatest? To answer these questions (beyond the obviousness of a case like this), I used Audiense Insights to analyze the Twitter community that used the hashtags #LaManada and #LaManadaAndaSuelta. And this is what I found.

The outrage isn't limited to women  . "Of course," we might think. But I think it's interesting to note that more than a third of the people who tweeted about this topic, 38%, were men, and 62% were women. This percentage does, however, represent a deviation from the gender distribution among Twitter users in Spain, as almost 55% are men, and 45% are women. In other words, women were more active on Twitter this time.
