VOICED : Miles contra la austeridad en Espana

Thousands gathered in Madrid to protest against austerity, labor reforms, and bank bailouts, while also defending public services like healthcare and pensions. The protests reflect widespread dissatisfaction with Mariano Rajoy's government, two years into his term. Citizens express concerns over increased poverty, reduced freedoms, and a return to past authoritarian practices. A proposed security law threatens to penalize unauthorized protests. Spain, in crisis since 2008, faces over 25% unemployment and has implemented strict austerity to save 150 billion euros.
