Thousands of protesters gathered in Madrid on Saturday to demand the resignation of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez amid corruption scandals involving his family, allies, and party, including the recent indictment of former Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. The march, called by civic associations and backed by opposition parties, drew between 40,000 and 120,000 participants according to varying estimates, with a small group attempting to breach barriers near Sanchez's official residence before police intervention.
