Spain's Marches for Dignity in Madrid
More than one million people march against austerity measures and cuts on public spending in #Madrid.
According to El País In total six columns of protestors from different corners of the country – Andalusia; Extremadura; Murcia and Valencia; Catalonia, Aragon and Navarre; La Rioja; and Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria – will be converging in Madrid on Saturday to protest the budget cuts “dictated by the Troika,” a reference to the trio comprising the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and the European Central Bank that has established economic policy for the countries that received a bailout (Spain had a bank bailout, not a full-blown rescue like Ireland, Portugal and Greece).
Many of the protestors taking part in the so-called “Marches of dignity” are unemployed, like 26 percent of the Spanish population. But mostly the demonstration represents all the social movements that have grown out of the crisis, including anti-eviction activists and supporters of political reform. All of them are protesting the cuts to health, education and other public services.
