A massive crowd of people took to the streets in Madrid Wednesday, going all the way from Puerta de Alcalá to Puerta del Sol, protesting against the economic recession, house evictions and healthcare cuts, reported El Público.

Protesters waved flags, wore costumes and chanted spirited slogans such as From North to South, from East to West, the fight goes on, whatever it costs and We want accounts not stories.

Meanwhile, the Spanish riot police arrested two people for allegedly defying police authority. The confrontation left two police officers and three demonstrators with minor injures.
