FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Spain’s two main labor unions UGT and CCOO said that they have organized over 80 rallies across the nation for Thursday evening.
The debt-ridden country has seen daily protests since Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced new pay cuts and tax increases aimed at saving 65 billion euros (USD 80 billion) in order to lower the public deficit.
“The new cuts harm the weakest sectors of society without one single measure that involves any effort by companies and the highest earners,” the CCOO said in a statement.
As a part of its belt tightening measures, the government decreased unemployment benefits and raised sales tax from 18 to 21 percent.
“They have already lowered and frozen our salary and this is the final blow,” said Ines Cornide, a protesting worker in Madrid.
Spain is to become the fourth eurozone country to receive bailout funds from the European Union in return for imposing the deeply unpopular austerity measures. The country is also mired in its second recession in three years.
