It's evident that the Spaniards' attitude of support for the reservists is directly proportional to their enthusiasm to join the reserve forces.
Since the official formation of the reserve forces at the end of August, in just two and a half weeks by early September, the number of applicants had already exceeded 50,000.
And this is just data submitted by larger cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, and Zaragoza. The announcement of the formation of the reserve forces had spread throughout Spain only within these two and a half weeks, and it might take some more time for all Spaniards to become aware of it.
This is the downside of not having the internet or even telephones—information isolation.
Even with newspapers and government announcements, it would take at least half a month or even more than a month for most Spaniards to learn about the formation of the reserve forces.
