TENS of thousands of protesters have descended on Madrid, some having trekked from the furthest corners of Spain, at the end of a month-long march for dignity to protest against draconian austerity policies.
Rise! Rise! We will fight! cried protesters gathered at Atocha station before heading down the broad avenues of Madrids city centre.
Eight columns converged on the capital carrying flags from Andalusia in the south, Catalonia in the east, or the Asturias in the northwest at the culmination of nearly a month of walking for some of the protesters.
The march for dignity comes after two years of bruising austerity measures, forced on Spain as part of a 40 billion euro ($55 billion) international bailout after a huge housing bubble almost destroyed its banking system.
