Violence has broken out at the end of an anti-austerity protest attended by
tens of thousands of people in the Spanish capital Madrid.
Dozens of youths threw projectiles at police, who responded by charging at
them.
Demonstrators were protesting over issues including unemployment, poverty
and official corruption.
They want the government not to pay its international debts and do more to
improve health and education.
Irreparable damage
The BBC's Guy Hedgecoe in Madrid says protesters travelled from all corners
of Spain, many of them making the journey on foot, in order to voice their
anger.

They called their protest the march of dignity, our correspondent says,
because they say that the government of Mariano Rajoy is stripping Spaniards
of just that.
For many of them, the cutbacks that Mr Rajoy has implemented, in particular
to health and education, are causing Spain irreparable damage.
Although most of the demonstration took place peacefully, violence broke out
later on Friday with a number of arrests and several policeman injured.
Analysts say that Spain came out of recession in the second half of 2013.
But unemployment soared with the government's labour reforms which reduced
the cost of hiring and firing. | m********8 发帖数: 7463 | 2 明明是一小撮反革命暴徒导演的小规模
