Now Spain is also engulfed in riots - in Barcelona demonstrators are destroying the city. Crowds of people set tires and garbage cans on fire, block roads and loot shops. According to media reports, 28 police officers were injured and dozens of people were arrested. The cause of the protests was a sharp increase in rental prices. Yesterday, thousands of elderly people also demonstrated in the center of Madrid, demanding a proper pension provision from the authorities.

Her rent was increased to 1,600 euros with a pension of 1,400 euros. I'm on MAX - go to the link.
