Spaniards Protest Austerity Measures

Thousands of Spaniards protested all over the country, on Saturday.

They were continuing their protests of the government's austerity measures.

Spending cuts and tax hikes have driven unemployment over twenty-six percent.

Spain's recession has been going for a year and a half now and has been the cause of many business closures.

Organizers chose February 23 as it is the anniversary of an attempted coup.
