SPAIN: Youthful "Los Indignados" Protest Again In Madrid And Barcelona.

YOUTUBE 1:04 EURONEWS ENGLISH report

Protestors, many youthful, again marched in the streets...of Madrid, Barcelona and other Spanish cities.
For as long as 5 hours, they chanted, banged drums and waved signs.

Youth unemployment in Spain is more than 43%.

"It's important to take to the streets because a series of measures are being taken by those in power - like the Euro-pact, for example - making Europe belong to the bankers and not the people," one woman protester said.

"We are all against bankers, money and capital - and against corruption and the misuse of public money. That's why we're angry," said a male demonstrator.

SPAIN / CATALONIA : Anti-Austerity Crowd Blocks Barcelona MPs.

BBC

In Barcelona, 2,000 anti-austerity protesters partially blocked entrance to Catalonia's parliament...forcing Catalan prime minister Artur Mas to use a police helicopter.
Police helicopters also took 25 other deputies and officials...in 8 flights...directly to the parliament after some MPs were shoved and heckled trying to enter.

The Catalan budget proposes a 10% cut in public spending and social welfare.

The protesters include a widespread youth movement called "los indignados"/the outraged ones.
