Inspired by what has happened in Greece, eager to repeat in Spain, they came in their tens of thousands from all over Spain, to demonstrate their solidarity with their Greek brothers and sisters, to demand an end to austerity, and to show their willingness to overthrow the corrupt political elites.

• Ease our pain say thousands of anti-austerity protesters on the streets of Spain
• Spain’s radical leftist party shows strength in big rally
• Spain rally: Podemos holds Madrid mass ‘March for Change’

Syriza has given Spanish people hope. They have shown what grass roots activists can achieve.

EU and Germany are already trying to destroy Greece, but the Greek people will not be intimidated.
