Protests in Madrid

As you have most likely heard, Spain is in the midst of its own financial crisis and we are bearing witness to its effects every day. The unemployment rate is a staggering 25% and among the youth, almost 50%. Similarly to the US, many social services are being cut and we have seen quite a few protests in Puerta del Sol, the city center. This afternoon, a group of people were protesting cuts to aid for former drug/alcohol addicts. ADT
