Police clear last remaining Angry Ones

"15-M: Police clear [Puerta del] Sol and Angry Ones return to the street," headlines Público in the wake of intervention by security forces to remove the last 88 young people, who have been camping at the "kilometre zero of the Spanish Revolution," from the square and the nearby Paseo del Prado. "Social networks were quick to relay the news and the response was almost immediate," notes the left-wing daily, which reports that, later that day, thousands of people protested against the evacuation while police blocked access to the square. According to the Angry Ones, the police action was motivated by Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to Madrid for International Youth Day on 16 August, which Público notes is expected to attract thousands of visitors. The 15-M movement has called for more demonstrations on 3 August.
