«¡Indignaos!» is the political essay by Stéphane Hessel, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (64 pages, in Spanish).
Hessel calls for not succumbing to consumerism or media distraction and for recovering indignation as commitment. Faced with indifference, Hessel proposes a peaceful insurrection and points to current causes such as the dictatorship of financial markets, inequality, and the treatment of immigrants and ethnic minorities.

Stéphane Frédéric Hessel was a French diplomat, ambassador, writer, concentration camp survivor, Resistance member and BCRA agent. Born German, he became a naturalised French citizen in 1939. He became an observer of the editing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. In 2011 he was named by Foreign Policy magazine in its list of top global thinkers. In later years his activism focused on economic inequalities, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and protection for the post–World War II social vision. His short book Time for Outrage! sold 4.5 million copies worldwide. Hessel and his book were linked and cited as an inspiration for the Spanish Indignados, the Arab Spring, the American Occupy Wall Street movement and other political movements.
