Resumen:	During the Great Recession, demonstrations have become more visible throughout Europe. But what are the effects of the economic recession on citizens' propensity to demonstrate? Is unemployment the main reason to protest? What are exactly the pathways that connect crisisrelated grievances with protest? This research tests the effects of 30 grievances related to austerity measures on Spaniards' propensity to demonstrate. We use panel data to trace those effects over time, building factors to capture the multi-dimensionality of the crisis. Moreover, we dig into the mechanisms that link grievances to protest activities emphasizing the mediating role of emotions. We find that grievances deriving from unemployment do foster protest activities, but also that a worsening in one's financial situation and working conditions triggers participation in demonstrations. We also show that grievances trigger negative emotions, and that while anger fosters the effects of grievances on protest activities, anxiety hampers some of these effects.
