seems to me the spanish want a return to a third world economy with strikes and mass unemployment

....maybe they are of a view that they dont agree with cutting public spending in line with EC directives on austerity budgets and that it wont reduce the 20% unemployment figures?
Perhaps they consider making a protest in the same way as the Irish, Belgians, French, Dutch, Portugese, Italians etc etc is the right way of getting their point of view noticed?
Just my alternative skew on the situation.... here in the UK we will probably roll over and get another shafting without doing anything about it...after all we dont want any fuss.....
