Rising borrowing costs prompt calls for Spain's parliament to be dissolved
Thousands of demonstrators filled Madrid's central Plaza de Espana today to protest the government's handling of Spain's financial crisis.
As riot police looked on, the protesters chanted and held placards reading "For Sale: Spain" and "Occupy Congress" in Spanish.
They are calling for the country's parliament to be dissolved and fresh elections to be held, claiming the government's austerity measures show the ruling Popular Party misled voters to get elected last November.
