Madrid, June 16 (RHC)-- In Spain, two progressive women have been sworn in as mayors in the country’s two largest cities.

Ada Colau, a former anti-evictions activist who has been arrested for protesting banks, has become the first woman mayor of Barcelona. In the capital Madrid, Manuela Carmena, a retired judge and former member of Spain’s underground Communist Party, has become the city’s second woman mayor.

Both have vowed sweeping reforms, including slashing their own salaries and stopping evictions.
