Thousands March Against Austerity In Spain

Tens of thousands of people have marched in Spain in the biggest show of support yet for anti-austerity party Podemos.

Crowds chanted "yes we can" and "tic tac tic tac," suggesting the clock was ticking for the country's political elite, before packing into Madrid's Puerta del Sol.

Many waved Greek and Republican flags and banners reading "the change is now" in support of the party formed just a year ago, whose surging popularity and policies have drawn comparisons with Greece's new governing party Syriza.

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

The rise of Podemos has been largely attributed to the charisma of its leader Pablo Iglesias, who joined Greek PM Alexis Tsipras at a huge rally in Athens on the eve of his election victory last week.

The 36-year-old political science professor told the crowd: "We want change. I know that governing is difficult but those who have serious dreams can change things."
