I don’t know exactly. This was a few months ago and would have been something to do with job losses somewhere I think. I have been in Madrid three times this year and there hasn’t been a day when I haven’t seen a demonstration. Mainly small ones. This one was pretty big and I stayed out of the wsy!

Uh-oh, what was the demonstration for? Saw on FB that there were clashes in Paris about the Palestinian thing.
