Firefighters, police in plainclothes and civil servants tried to march on Spain's parliament on Monday to protest against austerity measures, but were blocked by police in riot gear manning layers of metal fences protecting the legislature.
More than 1,000 people took to the streets of the capital Madrid in the latest in a series of demonstrations against deficit-cutting reforms announced last week by the conservative government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
The austerity measures include the suspension of one of 14 pay cheques most civil servants get each year.
Specifically, it is the one usually paid just before Christmas.
Their wages were already cut by an average of five percent in 2010.
