Police charge against final demonstration of student strike


From Eldiario.es. You'll note a person is detained for swearing at the police. This will carry a fine of up to 60.000 euro. That's what the placard about "Ley Mordaza" (gag law) is about. Chopper or drone overhead as well.

What do you see in this video?

- Thousands of people participate in a demonstration against the 'tasazo' cuts, the LOMCE and closing public schools who have completed the two-day student strike.

- The event concludes near the Ministry of Education

- Police evicted loads from Alcalá Street and the protesters moved to the Puerta del Sol

- A young man injured in the eye by a whack of Police, who hit him, against protocol, above the waist

- The charge on protesters in Gran Vía Police and one of them pushes him to the ground

- The police charge makes some protesters clash against those involved in a protest bicycle, 'bicicrítica'

- Police arrest a participant in the 'bicicrítica' for yelling at the agents that they are a "gang of pimps"
