Spaniards protest gov't anti-terrorism policy
Participants on Saturday carried banners declaring Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapatero a 'traitor' and called for his resignation.Spanish police estimated the rally at 350,000, while the organizers claimed 2.5 million participants.
Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega dismissed what she called the 'political agitation' of the conservative PP, saying it was irresponsible to mobilize the population against the government in this manner in a bid to return to power.
Opposition leader Mariano Rajoy said that his party had the right to call on people to voice their unhappiness with Zapatero's Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) government.
Zapatero recently ordered that convicted ETA terrorist Jose Ignacio de Juana Chaos, who embarked on a hunger strike in prison, could serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest. Some critics believe Zapatero gave in to blackmail.
Juana Chaos, convicted in 1987 of 25 counts of murder, spent nearly four months on hunger strike.
Doctors warned that the prisoner was close to death. The terrorist, who never showed remorse from his actions, halted the hunger strike within hours of the decision being announced. He was currently hospitalized in the Basque Country while recovering from the hunger strike.
