The World : Spaniards Protest NATO
At least 65,000 people in Barcelona and thousands more in other Spanish cities conducted simultaneous demonstrations, organized by the Pro-Peace Committee, to demand that the Socialist government take Spain out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Demonstrators throwing stones and eggs smashed windows at the U.S. Consulate in Barcelona. Six police officers were injured and eight protesters were arrested, police said. Spain has been part of NATO since 1982. A referendum on the issue is scheduled for March 12.
