Tens of thousands of people have joined marches in Spain to mark the birth a year ago of a protest movement against economic austerity. The main rally by the activists known as “the outraged” is in the central square in Madrid from where Guy Hedgecoe reports.

西班牙成千上万人举行游行，纪念一年前反对经济紧缩政策的抗议活动。活动人士举行的名为“愤怒者”的集会发生在马德里中心广场。Guy Hedgecoe在现场报道。
