Spain's conservative government faced its first mass protests on Sunday as hundreds of thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against austerity, spending cuts and radical changes to labour rights.

Madrid's central Puerta del Sol square filled for the first time since the "indignant" protesters camped there last May, as people gathered to protest against reforms introduced by prime minister Mariano Rajoy's government.

Unions complained that labour reform would lead to a fresh surge in lay-offs. Rajoy himself has said he expects them to call a general strike soon.

"There has to be a general strike," said Alberto Carrillo, a teacher who protested in Madrid. "They've cut rights, but not said how they plan to create jobs."

1. It's going to be a very long, hot summer in Europe.

The only way to end this is to kick out every government in Europe that is working in collusion with the Global Capitalists. They people have been betrayed, millions of people in every country. Their governments refuse to listen to them, while they struggle to save the Banks. Looks very like treason to me, and to an increasing number of people across the Continent.
