BREAKING: HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ARE MARCHING IN MADRID, SPAIN against Corruption, Bank debts,politicians' high wages ; Spanish POLICE ON ALERT

hmmm. sounds credibly prophetic.

And nothing ever really comes of it. Riot, maybe even burn a few cars like dolts and harass the cops who can't do anything about any of it anyway. Then they all go home.

how can you work when there are no jobs and even no prospect of jobs?

My Spanish is weak, but if I am reading correctly from the people in the chat boxes, then this is spreading throughout Spain, and there are thousands in the streets of Barcelona and at least two or three other cities now too. [link to www.livestream.com]

How about they stop marching and blaming their leaders for their laziness and actually work for a change

Don't be such a good slave, they won't appreciate it.

Working extremely would only prolong the inevitable. Our monetary system was designed to fail

These are some of the things crowd cry (obviously with rithm, but I translated them ~literally)

It is not corruption, it is capitalism
you, policman, lear from the fireman
it is not a crisis, it is an scam
public education and healthcare
they call it Democracy but it is not
let the next unemployed be a menber of the parliament
"Dimitir" (to resign) is not a russian name
We owe nothing, we do not pay

.. and much more

And here is a link to the streaming at ElPais, one MSM. The protest had time until 20.00. Which is now. Organizers are telling people to go but albeit there are lots who do not want to go, there is so many people that it will certainly take a lot of time for the space to begin to flow. Now, it will be see if tomorrow people talk about the deomsntrations or about the riots that come after, the later is what social engineers here use to discredit protests,

^^

TY, I was just going to ask, it it really hundreds of thousands... I don't want to spam FB with inacurate info....

Sorry, the link to the streaming [link to elpais.com]
I cannot tell, but if there are riots it could be in an hour, in primetime for the news. But it could be that nothing happens today

5*

It is so. There have been demonstrations in all the major cities and more.

But this has happened again quita a lot of times before, and mostly nothing happens after. It would be beautiful but it is not like the revolution.. just so many people really angry.. but the same happened two months ago, five months ago, again before the summer..

#Madrid (19:56h) | Organizadores de la #MareaCiudadana informan que queda desconvocada la manifestación. Suenan pitos. #TodasUnidas23F

The Spanish actually work the longest hours, per week, in the whole EU.

... and eventually there will be a straw that breaks the camels back. Unemployment is now 26% and rising. The situation surely cannot continue for much longer.

Well thank goodness for the tenacity of your countrymen!! Ty, for the translations, so poetic, so beautiful, so true.

GO SPAIN! Looks like GREAT FUN!!

But it is not the same energy as 5 months ago, is it?... anger is much more forceful now as you have mainstream press blaring front page stories about the breathtaking corruption of Rajoy's party (the Barcenas affair) and also of the Royal family involving millions and millions of dollars all the while more and more ordinary Spaniards are undergoing forced evictions. Really hope that critical mass has finally been reached.

Right!! That's why no MSM coverage, they know a weakness of the 'sheeple' plan is that sheep WILL FOLLOW OTHER sheep..... so they just try and make sure that we follow the WRONG things..... sheeple of the world unite, I say.

Yes, more and more you can see in the street people from all wings and tendencies, from grandpas to teenagers and your average joe. People in general are sick, it is not just a left movement. As you point out, it the right party, now in goverment, who is being attuitioned by scam scandals and that should put against them their sympathetic voters, if not their most loyal, who actually are a lot here is Spain, say 3-5 millions (~35million voters) who think that "with Franco we lived better"

They say that twitter doesnt wor kproperly and not too many videos have been uploaded already, I could find one which is not perfect but you could judge for yourself how there are people from different "ideologies" united.. [link to www.youtube.com]

Police has begun to back up people (few little charges) but it seems nothing BIg is going to happen
