Wednesday’s protest was criticized by politicians across the country.

“I can accept the protest by 2,000 people but I would remind those 2,000 people that 3.2 million people voted those deputies that were hassled,’’ he said.

Last week, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the national parliament in Madrid to demonstrate against labor reforms.
