Greece was a bump in the road.
If Spain goes, Europe goes.

Other than olives, I can’t think of anything these people do to strike from.
Once you start with the free handouts, you can’t take that away without infuriating the “garbage dump bears”.

They are protesting to keep spending money that does not exist
Same thing with the USA.
Can anyone imagine how the US public would react if all government agencies had to reduce spending by 17%?
LOL!
Maybe Spain can serve as an audio-visual aid for what the US can expect when the Democrat socialists run out of other people’s money and need to impose “austerity measures” here. The amusing part is that the riots and looting of the Democrat party’s parasite base will be largely confined to the concentrated Democrat parasite nests (”cities”), and far, far away from my armed-to-the-teeth countryside parcel.

Madrid had relatively few problems.
Barcelona has always been full of leftist and anarchist nutcases, and was essential in lighting the match for the Spanish Civil War. Barcelona is very French-influenced. Even though the French under Napoleon destroyed the city and surroundings, the Catalans have always really lusted after the French.
Now it has been taken over by a multinational band of anarchist loonies, and the city and regional government have spent so much of their time and treasure on rejecting the rest of Spain that they honestly are not prepared to deal with the fact that they have become ground zero for every pathetic perroflauta anarchist in the universe.
For those who don’t know, perroflauta literally means dog and flute (a simple recorder) and refers to the wandering youth annoying people by playing recorders on the street to collect money while their pathetic dog is tethered next to them. The dysfunctional girlfriend is down the street with her own dog and her own flute.
The only question is who is using these dysfunctional mental midgets.
