Spain Erupts
The people of Spain are protesting over this never ending taking from the poor and giving to the rich, now with the IMF and austerity heading their way. It's getting violent.
Here are some pictures of the violence and why are the police causing 121 injuries? To clear the square over a soccer match:
The demonstrators, who call themselves los indignados -the indignant ones -began gathering on May 15, in a movement known variously as "M-15", "Spanish Revolution" or "Real Democracy Now," to register dissent at the country's economic crisis, which has pushed youth unemployment to 45 per cent. Inspired by the Arab Spring revolts, the protests swelled ahead of regional elections last Sunday, in which Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapatero's socialist party suffered a resounding defeat.
