'Surround Congress' Madrid clashes: Dramatic footage of night violence in Spain. Vista aérea de Sol mientras suena la Novena de Beethoven 15O. The Spanish public won't accept a financial coup d'etat | Katharine Ainger. The attempt by the Spanish "Occupy" movement, the indignados, to surround the Congress in Madrid has been compared by the secretary general of the ruling rightwing People's party (PP) to an attempted coup. Spanish democracy may indeed be in peril, but the danger is not in the streets. According to the Financial Times, the EU has been in secret talks with the economy minister Luis de Guindos to implement further austerity measures in advance of Spain requesting a full bailout.

On Thursday the government will announce structural reforms and additional spending reductions, on top of the already huge cutbacks in health and education. Pre-empting the bailout conditions means the government is able to retain the illusion of sovereignty. In reality, Spain is on the brink of insolvency and under huge pressure to accept a rescue package. Maintaining the illusion of sovereignty is important, because Rajoy does not want to go down in history as the author of Spain's humiliation. La Puerta del Sol llena por la protesta del 15O.

De iaioflautas (vrij vertaald 'straatopa's'), de senioren­afdeling van de beweging van indignados, bezetten vandaag de beurs van Barcelona. De handelaren staren zwijgend naar de demonstranten in gele hesjes die hun grootouders hadden kunnen zijn. ‘Dit is geen crisis, dit is oplichterij!’ Klinkt het. Een actievoerder zet een megafoon aan zijn mond: ‘We blijven hier net zo lang tot ons doel bereikt is. Vreedzaam, zoals altijd. We willen de beursleiding spreken en ons manifest overhandigen.’ Ondanks de herrie is de sfeer ontspannen.

Na een klein half uur mag een delegatie van de actievoerders naar het kantoor van de beursleiding. Los Mossos intentan identificar a los @iaioflautas mientras ocupan la Bolsa de Bcn. Novara - FULL SET OF SHOWS by Resonance FM. Ocupación España. Spanish revolution.
