A protester dressed as a clown stands next to policemen during a protest marking the one-year anniversary of Spain's Indignados (Indignant) movement in Madrid's Puerta del Sol square. Dubbed "los Indignados" (the indignant), the movement has called for 96 hours of continuous protest to culminate at the Puerta del Sol square where the movement was founded a year ago in a renewed protest over government austerity measures, banks, politicians, economic recession, and the highest unemployment in the euro zone.
