[With several london folks out in Madrid filming today's 25s protest, here's a quick roundup of what happened]
Despite attempts to criminalise and repress the movement ahead of the 25s 'surround the parliament' protest, thousands of people followed the call and marched from different points to blockade the Madrid congress for several hours, chanting "we are not afraid". After some pulled at the security cordon fences riot police attacked the crowd with batons and later rubber bullets. Clashes continued with many people injured and thousands driven from the square, however some managed to stay with many resisting and sitting down until midnight and resolved to return at 7pm tomorrow (26s). Clashes also occurred elsewhere with police beatings and arrests. Estimates put arrests at 26 and around 60 treated for injuries with 30 or so taken to hospital. Further protests took place in Barcelona and other cities.
