Thousands march for leftist Podemos party in Spain/BBC
Will France or Italy be next?
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31072139
Tens of thousands of people have massed in central Madrid for a rally organised by radical Spanish leftists Podemos.
The "March for Change" is one of the party's first outdoor mass rallies, as it looks to build on the recent victory of its close allies Syriza in Greece.
Podemos has surged into the lead in recent opinion polls, and says it will seek to write off part of Spain's debt if it wins elections later this year.
Podemos says politicians should "serve the people, not private interests".
