For those who dont understand (you can sense the anger tho) apart from cursing the authorities and fascist pp xxxxxxxxs, he states that by cutting the salaries of the td's by only 74% they wouldnt have had to make all the cuts they have in health, education, coal, transport, etc. Quite an amazing point and goes to show the pure hipocracy of the spanish establishment.

It is shocking stuff and for a lot of people its a throwback to the days of the dictatorship. The PP's agenda is to shut down mining and they're not too worried about how its done.Originally Posted by Sam Lord

Huge crowds in the centre of Madrid to welcome the arrival of the miners after a 20 day march from Austurias and Leon:

Interesting stuff from Spanish online newspaper www.publico.es which reports today that miner's wives are mounting pickets in the port town of El Musel where Goldman Sachs has been stockpiling coal imported from Colombia.
About 156k tons has been imported so far and GS intend to bring in at least 600k tons in total and hold it for sale later in the year.

Just like the NCB in Britain did in 1982/3 in the lead-up to the Miners' Strike there as part of the Ridley Plan - Ridley Plan - from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Spanish govt. were consciously operating to this old formula.
"It is we the workers who built these palaces and cities here in Spain and in America and everywhere. We, the workers, can build others to take their place. And better ones! We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts."
— Buenaventura Durruti
