Spain: Thousands Mark 5th Anniversary of Indignados Movement
------------------------------------------------------------

In Spain, thousands took to the streets to mark the fifth anniversary of
the Indignados movement. On May 15, 2011, the mass movement erupted
against unemployment, austerity, the big banks and the political system.
The Indignados helped inspire the Occupy movement and the emergence of
the political party Podemos. The protest comes as Spain heads for new
elections next month, following a political deadlock after December
elections resulted in a Parliament divided between Podemos, the
Socialists and the ruling People's Party.
