The week against GMOs in Spain ended on Saturday 18 April with a massive demonstration in Zaragoza. Thousands of farmers, ranchers, environmentalists and consumers demanded the prohibition of this type of farming. The protesters chose the Aragonese capital because it represents one of two autonomous communities with more genetically modified crops. The other is in Catalonia. Environmentalists like Greenpeace and friends of the Earth organizations, claimed its prohibition by the damage to the environment that produces and demanded that the Government focus to provide more information to the consumer.
