well said Heinrich, at last someone with a brain who can see the full picture and the way the global elite are pitting one group against the other in order to foster confusion, chaos and war.
The gullible fools are the ones who believe what they hear from the global elite's mouthpiece ie the mainstream corporate media. 
People like Ein Volk are numerous unfortunately and will be coerced into a false and negative way of thinking that only favours the true enemies of the world, the global elite financiers and their numerous puppet governments.

These police officers are nothing but thugs. Just remember (police officers) you lot could very well be out of a job very soon with these austerity measures and then what will you do? Join in with the protests then? Protesters should uphold the law and protest in a peaceful and orderly fashion, police have every right to restrain protesters who break the law; however you should never physically attack innocent protesters.  Shame on you police.

spanish economy has been running on subsedies for the last 30 years, buses, train, airplanes, you name it, soon or later the pot was going to burst
you can' run a country on subsedies, services are the 'worst of the worst' people don't have to try and offer a good service as the government pays their wages anyway
spaniards are mostly iliterate and the level of education is  49% below other european countries, when you have a country with that many iliterate people who don't understand about systems and consider subsedies a normal way of life, you in trouble, and the spanish government is in trouble by its own making
companies should never be subsidise, if a company doesn't knows how to make profic then it shouldn't be compiting in the market
goods of very low quality are charged as good of high quality in other european countries
the spaniards need to wake up and smell the coffe, nothing comes for free and is time they learn some hard facts about services 
airpor ts, motorways, large useless building, homes, hotels etc, all built just to create jobs and with no use to anybody whatsoever, where were the spaniards when buildings were beein built at an alarming rate for which everybody new they will have no use.
3million empty homes and still the government wants to add to the list by allowing to built more in areas of extreme natural importance, why are the spanish not protesting about this? hotels empy everywhere and jet this government so desparate to create jobs is allowing jet more hotels to be built? where do the spaniards think the money is going to come from to create those jobs?? spaniards get your facts right first and then go and protest but when you protest make sure you know what you are protesting about, if is not going to help your situation then it can be good
cole is finish, not only is a loosing canon, it has cost the spanish tax payers more then then can ever imagine and jet they seem to want to keep paying for it???? this is the type of understanding those spaniards have about their ecomony

First, Blessings to the people of Spain who have chosen to fight for democracy, and "against" the system!! The corporations are doing their best to take over and drive wages lower with the help of the *FASCIST* govt of this world. We have the same problem in Canada *right* now! 
This will not end well for supporters of these tyrannical regimes, *trust me* on this. There are far *more* of us than them and WE will be victorious. Attacking the hard working middle class by disrupting organized labour will bite the *elitists* in their a**. To the *STUPID* police who do the fascists bidding, are *YOU* not unionized?? YOU will be next!! Breaking unions means *BREAKING* all unions, the *POLICE* unions too! The *POLICE* should be supporting protesters, *NOT* attacking them. WAKE UP people, the race for the bottom is on!

Where are the miners today?...Where are the Spanish people today?... Nowhere!... Obviously, the Spanish government is supported by huge majority of people... Please, do not be naive and stop to make a joke from serious topics.

There is some conspirital, paranoid, utopian thinking being played out here. Is it pot smoking or a mindset that is just plain scared of the world. There is no single all powerful secret group who feel totally in control.

The  German  fascist  r  behind  many  social disasters  in Europe  and  parts of  the World. German Police and customs-officers  r  new  Gestapon  who  work  for Zionazis  such Merkel  and  Westerwelle.  Germans  must be punished  for their fascist mentality  in the World.
