Close to One Million Spaniards Protest Labor Overhaul, Pais Says

Around one million people marched in Spain’s capital and other main cities to protest against Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s labor rules overhaul, El Pais reported, citing the countries’ two main unions, CCOO and UGT.

“Spain needs to avoid being the European country that most destroys jobs,” Rajoy said earlier today during a televised speech at a People’s Party convention in Sevilla, in the south of the country.
