Thousands of Spanish protesters demonstrate at the Puerta del Sol square in Madrid on May 18, 2011 to protest against the economic crisis. |
By the early hours of Friday, it was already elbow-room only in the Puerta del Sol – the square which prides itself on being Spain's "kilometre zero", the spot from which all other distances are measured.Wisconsin can learn from these experienced Spanish protestors.
On the statue of King Carlos III, somebody had pinned a sign that read: "We are anti-idiots, not anti-politicians." Other placards read: "We aren't against the system, we want to change it", "Democracy, a daily fight", and "Take your money out of the bank!"
