Anti-austerity anger sweeps from Greece to Spain as hundreds of thousands of sheeple march through Madrid in support of fledgling radical leftist party

Hundreds of thousands of people marched through Madrid today in a show of strength by a fledgling radical leftist party, as it becomes the latest European political organisation to gain widespread support for its anti-austerity stance.

Podemos (‘We Can’) supporters from across Spain converged around the Cibeles fountain today before packing the avenue leading to Puerta del Sol square in what was the party’s largest rally to date, as it hopes to emulate the success of Greece’s Syriza party in the Spanish general election later this year.

Podemos aims to shatter the country’s predominantly two-party system and the ‘March for Change’ gathered crowds in the same place where sit-in protests against political and financial corruption laid the party’s foundations in 2011.

State broadcaster TVE said that hundreds of thousands were at the march, but no official attendance figures were provided.

The party’s rise is greatly due to the charisma of its pony-tailed leader, Pablo Iglesias, a 36-year-old political science professor.

Hailing from the Madrid working class neighborhood of Vallecas, Iglesias prefers jeans and rolled up shirt sleeves to a suit and tie and champions slogans such as Spain is ‘run by the butlers of the rich’ and that the economy must serve the people.
‘We want change,’ Iglesias told the crowd. ‘This is the year for change and we’re going to win the elections.’
Speaking at a meeting in Barcelona, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he didn’t accept the bleak picture of Spain that Podemos propagated.
‘They’re a sad bunch, who go around saying how badly things are going,’ he said, giving them no chance of winning the elections. ‘They’re not going to do it.’
