Spanish Protests Revived in Face of Unemployment, Welfare, Government Corruption

HeadlineJul 25, 2011

The so-called “indignant” protesters in Spain have converged again in Madrid’s landmark Puerta del Sol to express outrage at the nation’s 21 percent unemployment rate, welfare cuts and government corruption.

Laura, protester: “This a very positive initiative. I think it is time to take to the street to oppose all the abuses that are taking place because of economical power. So stop now. People want a job. People want dignity. They are tired of being ignored and being unemployed and without future prospects.”
