A demonstration against planned data centers took place in Zaragoza on November 7, 2026. It began at noon outside the University of Zaragoza’s Paraninfo and ended at the Pignatelli building, headquarters of the Government of Aragón, according to elDiario.es.
The march crossed central Zaragoza
From the Paraninfo, the march proceeded along Paseo de la Independencia, Coso, Avenida de César Augusto and Calle de María Agustín before reaching the regional government headquarters. More than ten environmental and neighborhood groups called the demonstration, with No es sequía, es saqueo at the forefront, elDiario.es reported.
A day earlier, more than 100 people gathered in Huesca to oppose planned Amazon Web Services data centers. NeoTeo covered that separate protest.
Organizers called for a moratorium
The Zaragoza organizers demanded a pause on data-center projects until their impacts could be assessed. Pedro Arrojo, an emeritus professor at the University of Zaragoza, argued for understanding and regulating the sector rather than banning it.
The organizers called for a pause during impact assessments; Arrojo’s position was to regulate the sector rather than prohibit it.
