Spain's economic recession double-dips

Spain's economic recession has double-dipped in the first fiscal quarter, as the country faces intense pressure from the European Union to solve its financial problems and growing public unrest against austerity measures, new data shows.

The official data was released on Monday amid new quarterly unemployment figures showing nearly 25 per cent of Spaniards are out of work.
