Protests in Madrid demand PM quit

Protests in Madrid demand PM quit

Spain's capital was flooded with tens of thousands of demonstrators on Saturday as pressure mounts on Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to step down.

Protesters attempted to break through police barriers near the Prime Minister's residence, chanting slogans against government graft.

Sanchez has consistently maintained that the corruption cases are politically motivated, but the scale of the rally suggests growing public anger.

The protest comes as the Socialist-led government faces multiple investigations into its entourage, further destabilizing the country's political landscape.
