A woman arrives to a protest with thousands of people against the Spanish government's latest austerity measures, in Madrid, on July 19, 2012. Placard reads 'The banks have to pay this crisis'. Several hundred government workers joined the protest after conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced, on July 13, the latest measures to lower Spain's deficit, a 65-billion-euro (80 billion USD) austerity package involving among other things an increase in the VAT (TVA) tax and cuts in unemployment benefits.
