Spanish wifes miners supporting the strikes.
About 200 miners wifes started a night march towards a closed mine in Cinera,Leon, to protest against the government cuts. Esther Rodriguez, a miner's wife said: "What future can we have? But the worst thing is that nobody in Spain supporting us, only miners from other countries like Poland and the UK."
A miner who wished to stay anonymous said: ''There is a lot of tension, and the tension is reaching the point where riot police are entering villages full of women and children, and they don't care. In the same way that they don't care, we won't care either. It's really sad because it is reaching the point that one day something bad will happen."
