Coronavirus: Anti-lockdown car protest draws thousands
23 May 2020
Thousands of people in Spain are protesting against the government's handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
The far-right Vox party urged supporters to drive through major cities without leaving their vehicles in order to maintain social distancing.
Protesters in the capital, Madrid, drove in convoy and waved Spanish flags as they called for socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to resign.
Spain imposed some of the tightest restrictions in Europe on 14 March.
It has eased restrictions in recent weeks, but Madrid and Barcelona have remained under tight lockdown due to their more severe outbreaks of Covid-19.
