Pensioners and patients protest during the second day of the health workers strike in Bellvitge, Spain, Wednesday Nov. 16, 2011. Doctors in the Catalonia region called a mass strike for Tuesday and Wednesday at hospitals and outpatient departments to protest against planned cutbacks. The European Union warned last Thursday that the 17-country eurozone could slip into 'a deep and prolonged recession' next year as the debt crisis shows alarming signs of spinning out of control. Spain has suffered a long economic crisis with more than five million unemployed. The banner reads in Catalan: 'Bellvitge fighting for the public health'. (AP Photo/Manu Fernandez)
