The Spanish government is due to pass its 2013 budget, which is expected to include 39 billion euros ($50 billion) worth of spending cuts and tax increases.
The measures will come amid growing protests and expectations that Spain will seek financial aid from its partners in the 17-nation eurozone.
Spain, whose rising borrowing costs are seen as a threat to the stability of the eurozone, has come under increasing pressure to seek a bailout from the European Central Bank.
But a bailout will mean further austerity for the country already hit by recession and a 25 percent unemployment.
Thousands of protesters rallied near the parliament in Madrid for a second night on September 26 to protest against further austerity measures.
On September 25, riot police fired rubber bullets to disperse protesters.
