Tens of thousands take to Madrid streets in anti-government protest

Tens of thousands of people participated in an anti-government protest in Madrid on Saturday, calling for the resignation of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

Government authorities said around 31,000 people participated, while organizers estimated a much higher turnout of 500,000 people.

Santiago Abascal of the far-right party Vox was the only national political leader to participate, although less prominent politicians from the Popular Party and Ciudadanos also attended.
