Why 118? Turns out the company is closing a factory in Spain and laying off 118 workers. The unemployment just hit something like 27% in Spain. These people are boiling! (I'm told it's bad in Italy too)
Good to see them out agitating.

A huge din of horn honking and whistles blowing drew me to this large group. They were protesting something, but what? They got in front of a store with an alligator logo....aha!...It matched their signs.
