Tens of thousands of people rallied in Spain’s capital of Madrid on Saturday in the latest in a series of protests against economic austerity and political corruption. The demonstration was organized under the banner of “Citizen Tide,” a call for a grassroots uprising to stop a wave of privatizations, layoffs and cuts to public services. At least 45 people were arrested after clashes erupted between protesters and police.
