In this study, we set out to explore the impact of the Spanish “indignant” movement on Belgian French-language literature. In his fresco Barcelona! (2015), in addition to paying tribute to the Ciudad condal, Grégoire Polet not only depicts the plurality of Catalan society, but also multiplies points of view on the ever-widening divide between the rich and the disenfranchised, as the pro-independence current gradually reawakens. In his novel Pour avoir de l’espoir, faudrait du temps (2016), Pierre Orban recounts the chaotic professional trajectories of a young Belgian-Spaniard, recently settled in the Spanish capital, and her family, in a country vibrating to the sound of 15-M. As for Nicolas Ancion, it is through a thriller entitled Invisibles et remuants (2015) that he describes the consequences of the bursting of the real estate bubble in a country hitherto presented as a model of economic success, but where indignant citizens have decided to react.
