Madrid: Protestors call for new elections, reject austerity measures

Spanish demonstrators surrounded Madrid's Congress building to protest austerity measures and call for new elections.

Spain's 'indignant' protesters take part in a demonstration to decry an economic crisis on Sept. 25, 2012 in Madrid. Spanish police blocked roads leading to parliament as dozens of demonstrators began to assemble in front of the barricades several hours ahead of the main rally.
