Dozens of riot police stopped and frisked protestors as they arrived near the Spanish parliament. Spain's Parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favor of urgent government legislation allowing King Juan Carlos to abdicate this month and hand over his duties to Crown Prince Felipe. The legislation was approved by 299 lawmakers, while 19 voted against and 23 abstained. Several leftist deputies protested, holding up signs demanding a referendum on whether to scrap the monarchy. The Senate is expected to approve the legislation June 17, with 46-year-old Felipe being proclaimed king two days later. (AP Photo/Andres Kudacki)
