Spain/ The court remanded the former Minister of Transport in custody on

Tens of thousands of people have taken part in an anti-government demonstration in Madrid to demand early general elections, as the country's Socialist Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, struggles to cope with a series of corruption allegations involving his family, party and administration.

Sunday's protest, called by Spain's conservative Popular Party (PP) under the slogan "Mafia or democracy?", was held three days after one of Sánchez's closest former allies, former transport minister José Luis Ábalos, was remanded in custody by a judge investigating an alleged bribery scheme for contracts.

The PP estimated that the turnout was 80,000, while the central government delegate to the region estimated that half of this number had come to the rally at the Debod Temple in the center of the capital.

PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo described the legislature as "absurd" and said it could not be allowed to continue. He added that Ábalo's pre-trial detention proved that Sánchez's style of politics is "rotten."
