Tens of thousands of protesters marched in Madrid demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. During the protest, police arrested a small group that attempted to "break through the barriers around the prime minister's residence." Organizers claimed that 80,000 protesters participated in the demonstration, but a government representative stated that about 40,000 attended. The protest took place following a court announcement in Spain on Tuesday that former Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, a key ally of Sanchez, is being investigated for leading an influence peddling and money laundering network.
