ESPANA: el pueblo se levanta

Today, there were protests in cities across Spain, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, against the newest installment of austerity measures passed by the parliament. The parliament of course is trying to restore banker’s & investor’s confidence on the backs of working people. The attacks on working people might be much more daunting if the entire world weren’t rising up in opposition to them & if it weren’t for those striking miners.
