Description:
Spanish coal miners angered by huge cuts in government subsidies for their industry have converged on Madrid for protest rallies, after walking nearly three weeks under a blazing sun from the pits where they eke out a living. Two columns of miners met up in a Madrid suburb in the evening. The miners, wearing hard hats with lights turned on were joined by thousands of sympathisers in the city.
