Spain has joined the bandwagon of the pre-Christmas promotions just as they falter in America, the cradle of this consumerist tradition. Especially in retail, which has been declared bankrupt . The dominance of retailers like American Apparel, Gap and Walmart has been subjected to the success of brands such as H&M, Zara or Amazon. Additionally to layoffs and store closings, workers have protested demanding a wage of $15 per hour.
