Protests in Spain are on the rise

I said I few months ago, and I will say it again. A 40% youth unemployment rate is unbearable and will cause serious social unrest. Spain (and many more Southern European countries) should look at what happened in Tunisia and Egypt and take serious lessons - not hiding on being a Western democracy.

The problems that are being brought up are serious and real (unemployment, political class corruption,...) and should be dealt in a responsible and constructive manner. If not, the situation will only get deeper and deeper, and progressively more out of control.
