A demonstrator with a 'Justice' sign carries a sack of fake money with a sticker reading 'Underground Economy' during the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, in Madrid, Spain Thursday Oct. 17, 2013. The Catholic Church charity organization Caritas says there are now 3 million people living in severe poverty in Spain, double the figure of 2008 when the country's economic crisis began. Spain, with a population of 47 million, has spent most of the past four years in recession and now has 26.3 percent unemployment rate.
十月十七日,西班牙首都馬德里街上,有位示威者脖子上掛了個寫有「公義」兩字的看板,手上提了一袋假錢,錢袋上貼有「地下經濟」字樣的標籤。當天是國際貧窮消除日。天主教慈善團體「濟貧」說,西班牙目前有三百萬人處於「捉襟見肘」的狀態,這個數字是二○○八年經濟危機首度出現在這個國家時的兩倍。人口有四千七百萬的西班牙,過去四年裡多半處於經濟衰退期,目前失業率為百分之二十六點三。
