Past events (e.g., 2024, 2025) involved thousands of students in Pontevedra and other cities, with crowds chanting and marching , . - No verifiable reports of a 2026 Pontevedra event on May 21 or 22 matching the description (hundreds of schoolchildren, streets filled, sports-fan enthusiasm, officials' quotes on normalization). - Searches on Google News, X (Twitter), and local sites (lavozdegalicia.es, farodevigo.es) surface only prior years' coverage; nothing for 2026 dates provided. Cannot verify specific entities, date, or quotes from primary/secondary sources. Card dropped per guidelines. ```
