Protestors in Madrid against Euro-Vegas
Around 200 people in downtown Madrid were protesting on Saturday regarding the ambitious project to build six casinos and 12 hotels and create jobs in a country where unemployment currently stands at more than 20 percent.
But protesters say the plan will cost Spain more in grants, concessions and social problems than it can yield in benefits.
Protester Rafael Cordoba, an architect, says the “Las Vegas-style” job creation model proposed by Adelson was fraught with problems that are costly to repair, such as promoting gambling, alcohol and tobacco addiction and attracting prostitution.
Protesters on Saturday claimed the complex would also ultimately require state funding to become a reality.
