Thousands of Spanish Protesters Slam Bush Visit

MADRID--Thousands of Spaniards marched peacefully through central Madrid Sunday to protest against a visit by President Bush, who will kick off a tour of Europe with a one-day stay in the capital.

Security was tight as up to three thousand people blocked the streets, according to police estimates. Protesters waved banners reading "Bush Go Home" and chanted slogans ahead of the president's arrival Tuesday.

Among a wide-ranging list of complaints, demonstrators shunned embargoes against Cuba and Iraq, U.S. missile defense plans, the death penalty and Bush's decision to reject the Kyoto global warming pact.

Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh is scheduled to die by lethal injection Monday just a few hours before Bush embarks on his six-day trip to Europe.

Carlo Acero, a member of a Spanish environmental group, joined the chorus of opposition to the death penalty and Bush's stance on the environment.

"I am here because of this imperialist president who thinks the world is his garden... the world is bigger than the U.S.," he said.

The demonstration is organized by a coalition of several dozen groups which say they will do everything possible to keep the protests peaceful.

Tuesday night they will hold a second demonstration in front of the U.S. embassy.

The World Bank recently canceled a conference on poverty in Barcelona fearing confrontation from anti-globalization groups.

Spanish officials said security would be tight during the presidential visit but that no "extraordinary" measures were being taken.
