MADRID — Thousands of older Spaniards are marching through downtown Madrid to demand better public pensions. They argue that the 0.25 percent increase in 2017 was insufficient. Isabel Perez, 67, says “this is a fight that we have to keep going because our demands have not been met.”Several striking taxi drivers joined the march. Taxi drivers have been striking for 13 days in the Spanish capital, demanding tighter regulations for those using ride-hailing apps like Uber and Cabify. /atmRead NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
