Outraged

Another video on this week's protests - with English subtitles leaving a clear message.

A Spanish and Catalan Revolution

Tonight, thousands of people of all ages and from all walks of life are once more camping out in public squares in the main Spanish and Catalan cities. What started as a protest action last Sunday has snowballed into a, dare we say, "revolution", and promises to grow and grow until at least Sunday - election day.

Catalans and Spaniards are finally breaking out of their apathy to say enough is enough. This is not about Right and Left, this is not about anti-systems and anarchists. Simply people saying all we want is a Real, a True, Democracy. One where everyone has a voice, where there is a chance of finding a job, where politicians and businessmen take full responsibility for their actions, where the effects of the so-called crisis are not merely passed down to the man-in-the-street. A clean honest reliable consquential democracy, now.

These protesters have set up camp, organising their basic needs, mucking in together, in peaceful and tolerant places to debate and propose what a Democracy should be like.

They do not state which party deserves to win the elections (local ones, and some autonomous ones) on Sunday, merely that the public should lodge a Responsible Vote.

This protest shows no sign of slowing down. Here is a short video where you can get a feel for what is only just starting ....

Democracia real Ja!
