The throng started cheering at midnight when the ban was to begin...and police did not move in.
The young protestors label both parties as selfish and useless in dealing with the country's economic crisis.
Unemployment among youths aged 20 -30 is estimated....at 45-50%.
There have been demonstrations in Madrid and other cities ahead of this weekend's local and municipal elections.
