[quote:Anonymous Coward 23992770:MV8yMTQ0NjI3XzM2MjMyNDgzXzEzN0M3MjI1] The tipping point is near. The financial crash happened four and a half years ago. Up until now the politicians have been trying to spin it (maybe they actually believed it) as if it was just another, albeit very serious, 'downturn', 'recession' or even 'depression.' The truth is that what happened in late 2008 was non of these things. It was actually the start of the collapse of an entire system that had always been built on fraudulent promises, ridiculous assumptions about perpetual exponential growth, exploitation and debt. Now, as the masses slowly start to realise that there will be no return to the 'old ways' (simply because it is impossible and never held any sustainability), and they start to think about what it means for them and their families the anger starts. As a few intelligent commentators have pointed out over the last few years, if you can't convince the masses of young people (especially young men) that they can better themselves and their family's lot by working hard inside the system, then they will turn on that system. Rights and wrongs of civility aside, we cannot seriously believe that several generations (present and future) can have their entire expectations, dreams and chances crushed and taken away, and that they will still 'play along nicely'. There is a tipping point in everyone's own head. A simple equation. If the point is reached where they see no hope and have nothing to gain from playing along then they will either stop playing or try to start a different game. It just beggars belief that politicians the world over seem incapable of realising this. Mr Cameron, Mr Obama? What is wrong with your brains? Are you incapable of simple reasoning!? [/quote]
Original Message
Massive riots have been going in Bulgaria in the last couple of days. The biggest ones that the country has seen in the last 20 years. More than 300 thousand people went out and protested against the ongoing stealing by the bankers and the electricity companies /CEZ, EON and EVN/, piling pressure on the government after a week of persistent demonstrations.
Protesters chanting "It will be the same every day until we win” , paralyzed city centers and demanded the resignation of the cabinet and the re-nationalization of power distributors.
There have been some clashes with the riot police, but in the city of Varna something unprecedented happened. The chief of the city police said that they are on the side of the protesting people, but there still must be no destruction and looting. To show their support of the people, the riot police putted their shield and helmets on the ground! From the other side people gave them flowers.

On 24.02.2013 there is going to be a nationwide protest and it is expected more than 800 000 people to go out on the streets. People gave the government a 7 days period to get rid of the electricity companies and to nationalize the infrastructure.
