"Spain's ruling People's party has drafted strict new laws against public protests, in a move denounced by the opposition as a blow to democracy.
The legislation, expected to be presented in a cabinet meeting on Friday, would introduce steep fines for activists who take part in unauthorised protests, publish images of police or interrupt public events."
