NO TO AUSTERITY CUT
Thousands of people protest against the Spanish government's latest austerity measures, in Madrid, on Thursday. Several hundred government workers joined the protest after conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced, on July 13, the latest measures to lower Spain's deficit, a 65-billion-euro (US$80 billion ) austerity package involving among other things an increase in the VAT (TVA) tax and cuts in unemployment benefits. -- AFP PHOTO
