MADRID: Thousands protested in Madrid on Saturday against the suspension of curbs on polluting cars by the new conservative city hall, raising fears that environmental rollbacks seen in the United States may be spreading to Europe.

"Yes we can, I do want Madrid central," chanted the protesters. Some were holding banners that read"I want to breathe free" and"We aspire to have a Madrid without smoke". She added that she was concerned that the new Madrid government might have some similar ideas to US President Donald Trump's rollback of environmental policies, such as weakening rules limiting carbon emissions from power plants and standards on harmful gas emissions from cars and trucks.

Environmental groups including Greenpeace say the"Madrid central" measure slashed air pollution levels from car emissions in the centre to record lows.
