Spanish protest turns into sit-in in Madrid Square

In Spain, thousands of young people have spent another night on the streets. Anti-government protests at the weekend seem to have turned into a spontaneous sit-in.
Most of the protesters are young and from what the IMF has called Spain's "lost generation" a consequence of current youth unemployment of 45 percent. Police watched from afar.
This is a social sea change for Spain. It is the first protest organised by the people themselves, angry about unemployment, the economy and government cuts.

@pppepito Thanks for that elucidation. EuroNews really should hire a Spanish translator.

I thought the whole point of government was to manage the country correctly? If the governmnet fail then sack the government until a good one comes along

@HunterofDolts They were still from Africa and occupied the Iberian peninsula for 800 years which included Spain from 711 AD to 1492 so yes the Spanish have African blood and the eastern europe has Mongol blood

Actually the second city is Bilbao not Valencia

[@derpestarzt]

@HunterofDolts That's weird because Jews were thrown out of Spain by the Catholic Kings from 1100 to 1600 so I'd say there is less amount of Jewish "blood" flowing in modern Spain than in any other European country except perhaps Scandinavia.

Question:
Is it true that protesters in Spain used as a slogan the "Shhhh, the Greeks are sleeping"? It's been all over the social networks in Greece and I'm wondering if it's true. Used or not it is indeed true and if it was actually used, that was a very clever move to make!

[@tomasllasera]

That isn't Valencia. It's Bilbao.

@Marathonmarch 781 years only in GRANADA, not the whole or even most of the Peninsula.
Nope, the "Moors" were Arabs and BERBERS, who are of Caucasoid type, not Negroid:
"Berbers are an indigenous Caucasoid people of North Africa. They live in the area from the Atlantic coast to the Oasis of Siwa in Egypt, from the Mediterranean shore to the oases in mid-Sahara." - Thomas M. Leonard, "Encyclopedia of the developing world", Volume 1, Taylor & Francis, 2006. pp. 168-169.

@derpestarzt
Catholic Kings did not rule when the Moor territories in Spain

[@Marathonmarch]

@HunterofDolts Of course they have African blood the Moors used to occupy Spain so yes they had African blood

@asteris78 20k people today in front of the parliament in Athens, 5-6k in Thessaloniki, hundreds in Volos,Rethimno,Lamia. Today Mr Manolis Yialitakis, president of the Greeks living in Spain, said it was Greek students, after taking the ok from their Spaniard coursemates, who wrote this slogan, implying that if the Greeks wake up the world will come to a standstill. A friendly advice if I may, dont believe anything the Greek tv says. A day later & we got to know what really happened..hahaha
