Sexist chanting at Madrid University condemned by Spain's Prime Minister

Spanish prosecutors are looking into a group of male university students who were caught on camera in Madrid yelling vulgar, misogynistic insults at female students.

Videos of insults directed at women in the building next to it by men in all-male student housing have been circulating for days.

The "macho, incomprehensible, unjustified, and simply repulsive behaviour" was criticised by Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain.

It has prompted extensive discussion and political condemnation.

One pupil yelled: "Rabbits, whores, come out of your holes. You bunch of nymphomanic prostitutes are disgusting."

Then, in a planned action, students from the Colegio Mayor Elas Ahuja building across the street pulled open their curtains and began yelling and making animal noises.

There was an instant reaction to the Complutense University students' video that went viral on Sunday night.
