Pope to be greeted by protests in Madrid

"Los indignados" or the 15 of May movement in Spain is back in the news today. The group is protesting next week's arrival of Pope Benedict XVI for World Youth Day in Madrid. Protestors say that the government is spending money frivolously in anticipation of the Pope's arrival when they could be putting that money toward education and health costs for the Spanish people. With more than one million youth entering the city of Madrid for WYD next week, one would think that the Pope's visit would serve as a stimulant to Madrid's floundering economy. However, the protests persist and this added to one million foreign visitors could test the vigor of the city of Madrid.
