Thousands of cars and motor-bikes honking horns and waving Spanish flags drove in procession through Madrid on Saturday as part of a nationwide protest against the country's coronavirus lockdown. The protesters called for Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Deputy Prime Minister Pablo Iglesias, of the centre-left Socialists and left-wing Podemos coalition, to resign over their handling of the coronavirus crisis and the extraordinary damage their lockdown policies have done to the Spanish economy. Protests against the lockdown began in Madrid's wealthy Salamanca neighbourhood last week, where people could be seen banging pots and pans. But Saturday's procession marked the first organized protest against the government since the beginning of the "coronavirus crisis".
