Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Madrid and
Barcelona and the Peaceful march in Spanish capital turned violent yesterday as
protesters charged police. They called on Mariano Rajoy, Spanish Prime Minister
to resign over corruption allegations.
But Rajoy, 58, who leads the Popular Party, has brushed off
calls to stand down.
Critics of the 58-year-old politician said he should resign
after text messages emerged showing him comforting a former political party
treasurer under investigation over a slush fund and secret Swiss bank accounts.
They claimed he took money from a government slush-fund before his party won
elections in 2011.
Several people have been injured in the brawl and a lot more
arrested after only a night of unrest.
