Professional currency speculators are attacking the Euro and using the PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain) nations as a whipping boy to get them to roll back the extensive social welfare public programs. Now the IMF is at Greece's door. The words 'structural adjustment' have been used on a first world nation.

What we are witnessing is the same "structural adjustment programs" that the first world forced on the third world now coming to the weakest of the first world nations!

Everyone from Obama to the Greek President is calling for "austerity" in the PIGS nations, which basically translates to the working masses having to pay for the misguided investments by rich bankers, investors and their corrupt Government. This is the type of stuff they ask countries like Indonesia to do. Yet, were these not the "miracle" nations that came back in the 2000s, promoted by both left and right politicians as the pinnacle of success with their "sturdy" investments in price asset inflation?

Zapatero believes it to be a huge conspiracy between the media to downgrade the Spanish economy and aid speculators. The English language media has been reporting day in and day out that it was because of the "socialist" policies of the PIGS nations that led to the crisis, not the derivatives markets or the currency speculation that occurred afterward.

Even the US Justice Department is looking into the claims that hedge funds conspired to downgrade the Euro. Funny how George Soros Fund is also in the list of suspects.

The Greeks and the French are investigating too.

I'm not sure how that is funny, George Soros has done it before. He participated in rampant speculation in the Swedish currency in the early 1990's banking crisis in the good interest of forcing deregulation of more market sectors.

Whatever the outcome of the 'investigation', it should be no surprise that the bloodsuckers are gambling on who will be the next victims of their bloody internet game of 'Enemy Capital Wipe-out !

OK, my guess is that 'masses' will be more than just complaining soon enough. Fancy a bet comrade?

I was being sarcastic. Of course Soros acts like a saint in the media though.

Knowing the current situation here I say that nothing will happend or at least nothing like in Greece. I'm not even sure that the principal unions, CCOO (the union of IU, very friendly with the PSOE) and UGT (the union of the PSOE who is in govern) will do a general strike.

Place your bet, and will see :D

Isn't this the same liberal George Soros who triggered Malay anti-Semitism by speculating against the Malay currency? :rolleyes:

You're correct, the reaction in Spain to the world economic crisis may be nothing like the recent events in Greece but mass unemployment and hesitant attempts 'reforming'
labor law can only fuel growing calls for strike action. The UGT and the CCOO may be reluctant but that isn't going to stop workers pushing forward anyway.

Even here in Britain many lefts have been writing off the working class as inactive but Jack Straw an ex Labor Party minister has just admitted that it was the disaffected working class (C2s as he calls us) that lost Labor the general election. The mass youth unemployment in Spain and Britain and elsewhere is going to bite back at the crisis.
I've already won the bet 50.000+ on your May Day demonstrations I'm told.

50.000+ in May Day where? In Madrid? In the demonstration of UGT and CCOO I guess, because in seville probably we weren't less than 10.000 in all four demonstrations.

But people are "complaining" in Spain. There have been demonstrations in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Valencia. Surly 10,000 people on demos in Seville is enough for you to talk to and get some inspiration from?

Of course the fake socialist government and the trades union bosses are trying to head off a fight. What would you expect? The same thing is happening all over Europe, North America and Japan etc.

Now is the time to be discussing the revolutionary takeover with fellow workers. There is no other "solution". Is there?

Are there no demonstration against the planed EU summits in Spain? I think there will be.
