Protesters settle in for the night after long anti-government marches

Tens of thousands of protesters thronged Madrid’s central Sol square today to press the government to “make the rich pay for their crisis” and reverse welfare cuts.

Many of the “indignant” activists had marched hundreds of miles from cities across Spain, some from as far away as Cadiz on the country’s south coast.

Physiotherapists travelling in support vehicles helped the protesters avoid cramps and sore muscles, while sympathetic paramedics treated blistered feet.

Protester Beatriz Puerta said: “Many volunteers offered to act as cooks for us, preparing marvellous dishes which enabled us to keep up our strength. It’s been a very positive experience.”
