On June 20, Spain was paralysed by a one-day general strike. The country's main union federations reported that more than 80% of the work force walked out. Hundreds of thousands of workers demonstrated across the country. The strike was called to protest the right-wing Spanish government's cuts to unemployment benefits. More than 100,000 people marched in Seville 鈥� where a European Union summit meeting was due to take place on June 21 鈥� while 50,000 protested in Granada and 30,000 in Malaga. Pictured is the march in Seville.
