Protesters held the Saturday demonstration outside the Interior Ministry in the capital Madrid to express their discontent with the budget cuts and removal of benefits.
"We came to express our anger at the way the government treats us, not only because they have removed Christmas bonuses, but also because they are eliminating our rights," said Fran Estacio, a 33-year-old officer from Spain’s eastern city of Valencia.
Protesters were carrying banners that read, “Police officers can no longer take it.”
