Thousands of supporters of Spain's right-wing opposition have rallied in Madrid to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Many are furious his government is negotiating with Catalonian separatists.
An estimated 45,000 people packed into the capital's Plaza de Colon, many of them waving Spanish flags and signs reading "Stop Sanchez" and "For a united Spain, elections now!"
The rally was organized by the conservative opposition Popular Party (PP) and the center-right Citizens Party, with backing from the far-right party Vox.
"The time of Sanchez's government is over," PP leader Pablo Casado told reporters at the start of the march. His opposition party is firmly against the prime minister's decision to tackle political tensions in northeastern Catalonia by negotiating with pro-independence parties.
