Spaniards protest against drastic auterity measures in Madrid

Spaniards are facing further government cuts and higher living costs. This is because the Eurozone has promised a bailout for its banks, but it will not give it without the government lowering its debt. The goal is to reduce the budget deficit by almost 80 billion dollars in two and a half years. The announcement came as thousands of miners protested in Madrid.
