A member of the Mortgage Victims' Platform (PAH) shouts slogan during a protest in Madrid April 3, 2013. Spanish protesters seeking to stop a wave of evictions have resorted to embarrassing politicians at their homes over harsh mortgage laws that have multiplied the pain of a property crash in the recession-hit country. Inspired by Latin American human rights campaigns from the 1990s, the "escraches" - Argentine slang for denunciation - have involved protesters posting flyers and shouting slogans on the doorsteps of a number of politicians over the past fortnight. The placards read: "Yes we can". REUTERS/Sergio Perez (SPAIN - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST REAL ESTATE BUSINESS)
