Over 70 injured as protesters clash with police in Madrid

Coming to a town or city near you....and more of it.

It even poked it's head out, twice, in Britain, over the past while.

And we are seen as somewhat not into this sort of direct action, which is really myth actually.

It ain't going away.

It's likely not going to avoid your town or city or country.

It will become rampant, almost daily, and spread across Europe, and N America.

It will spread.....like a bushfire in OZ. It will appear as being several unconnected causes and reasons, when in actual fact, it will be the same cause, and the same core reasons.

At least 76 people have been injured in Madrid as clashes flared up between protesters and police, the latter using rubber bullets. Thousands of Spaniards turned out against new cuts introduced by the government.

Those injured include 33 police officers and 43 protesters – miners and their supporters.


Minor arrests have been made so far, with eight people being detained. Three of those arrested reportedly threw bricks at police, local El Pais newspaper reported. The police have confirmed that there were no miners among the arrested.


Protesters panicked and sought shelter as police began to disperse the crowd, Olvidio Gonzalez, 67, a retired miner from the northern Asturias region told AP.


“We were walking peacefully to get to where the union leaders were speaking and they started to fire indiscriminately,” said Gonzalez, who was also struck by a rubber bullet.

Witnesses and demonstrators claim that police started the attack without any warning.


"We were eating quietly when they began to appear with several police vans. Then we started to shout and some threw a few bottles, which gave rise to the charge," Hermann, a miner from the small town of Langreo in northern Spain, told El Pais.


About 200 people remained surrounded by dozens of police in front of parliament, Twitter user Danips posted on his microblog.

Some media reports suggest a spontaneous demonstration flared up in front of parliament. Protesters are calling on Spaniards via Twitter to join bigger protests at 19:30 local time.


Protesters disagree with a 63 per cent cut in subsidies to coal mining companies, major contributors to the Spanish energy market. Unions say the plan threatens 30,000 jobs and could destroy their livelihoods.


Miners, who were hiking from the north of the country for the past two weeks, have been joined by tens of thousands of Spaniards also protesting against Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s tax hike.


The prime minister announced his decision to raise VAT by 3 per cent as part of the plan to trim the public budget by 65 billion euro over the next two-and-a-half years. Rajoy also declared a 3.5-billion-euro cut to local government spending.


Many protesters marched more than 400 kilometers (250 miles) from mines in northern Spain.

As protesters call for more demonstrations to make their voices heard journalist and writer Miguel-Anxo Murado told RT that the government seems to underestimate the protests.


“They think they can cope with these protests partly because mining regions are localized in certain areas of the country. These are small areas. So they think that this will not affect the rest of the country. The truth is that the miners are getting a lot of solidarity because many people relate to them and see their problems as their own problems,” he said.

Carlos Delclos, a sociologist at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, is strongly critical of the role of Spain's prime minister in the current crisis.

“If Mariano Rajoy had any sense of decency, or even a fragment of dignity that the miners and the protesters have, then he would resign, along with the rest of his government,” he told RT. “He’s broken every campaign promise that he’s made, some even at comical levels. His entire party was saying that raising sales tax was unthinkable and all that, and now we have a 21-per-cent sales tax.”

He believes that the Spanish government’s actions, including its reaction to the protests, results from the long-lasting culture of impunity.

“What we are seeing is the impunity of a government that has a lot of people that pertain to groups that had affinity with the Franco government, the Fascist government, 40 years ago, and have never had to sit before trial since then,” he said.

That'll be the Jewish banking cabal, the Jewish-owned media and the state of Israel all of whom control their puppets, the US government and their elected politicians.

 

Bailing out private banks and ask poor people to pay the bill isn't that smart, guess who will find themselves under the guillotine at the end.

 

The arrogance of those that have misled us, will, as it has ALWAYS down through history, end with THEIR demise.

More and more people are awakening to a fact that, previously, they may not have paid much mind to - how international banks have enslaved them, and brought their nation to it's knees.

The arrogance and haughtyness of these people, will be their downfall.

In a few years, maybe less, across large parts of Europe, you are going to see great expression of public anger.

Like nothing seen for many years.

The anger is just.

It is key that they direct it at who really merits it.

It's not single mums who are sending men to fight in these disgusting wars of aggression, in whch our own soldiers are then dumped in land fill sites, by the Gov, without telling their family, is it?

It's not teachers who are supportive of a state that has commited more breaches of the Geneva convention, and international law, is it?

It's not those on welfare of some sort, who are rewriting laws, and even over riding the US consitution, in order to enable the above, is it?

It's not the poor who are supportive of a state that puts kids and prison, and never lets them see their parents, is it?

It's not Muslims that want your Gov to know more about you, your private life, everything about you, is it?

It's not Hindu banking cartels that cause financial crashes, is it?

It's not Persians, Europeans, Africans, or even Americans that own and run the Federal Reserve, is it?

Did they honestly think they could fool all of the people, all of the time, and forever more?

Really?

Nothing is 'forever'.

And this will all end.

You wait, it is like a volcano waiting to erupt, right about now.

The real criminals have tried to invent so many false or over stated enemies for us to blame.

When the backlash happens, and it WILL happen, do they really think that everyone will just turn on each other, and DEM MOOZLIMS?

Oh how the underestimate us.

Again.

More and more will realise who is really laughing at us.

And using us.

And exploiting us.

I shall shed no tears, when that backlash comes.

Why should we?

Their greed and haughtiness has known no limits.
