A protest movement against the Spanish government's latest austerity measures swelled as public sector workers stepped up demonstrations in Madrid and around the country after more than a week of spontaneous action. Civil servants have been protesting without fail every day, organizing action through emails and by coordinating at work without any clear leaders. "You don't need much to prepare but they are still causing havoc. That has the government a little bit nervous," said Sandra Suarez, a political scientist at Temple.
