Other emblematic buildings and venues all over Spain were also lit up in red, and crowds of people manifested in 28 cities throughout the country to denounce the serious problem this industry is going through as it was forced to cease its activity, even before the state of alarm was declared. Likewise, individuals and companies from the culture world, events and entertainment industry joined this action by sharing red images on their social networks, accompanied by hashtags like #HacemosEventos #RedAlert or #WeMakeEvents.

Promoted by associations, individuals and corporations from various countries, ‘Red Alert’ is an international movement that seeks to make public opinion and authorities aware of the suffering of an important sector to which thousands of companies and independent professionals belong, and the need to take urgent action to ensure their survival.

In Spain, the ‘Alerta Roja’ movement is promoted by MUTE (Movilización Unida de Trabajadores del Espectáculo) supported by entities such as ADEPE (Asociación de Espacios para Eventos), to which Callao City Lights belongs.
