  1. It is difficult to see this kind of videos in which you see the real life in Spain. However, from my point of view when I see people fighting for the same cause I am pleased, because it means that we aren't sheep at all and we act independently.

    Apart from this, I am convinced that when we dont have anyone around us who is unemployed, we dont realize the ugly truth, but the reality is shown in this article. In the past it was impossible to imagine that a family in Tres Cantos could beg for food or any kind of economic help, actually now, is the daily bread.

  2. It´s a real drama , not only evictions , it´s this situation in which besides having done everything well, even middle class is in deep trouble. So many times it´s not your fault , you are just another victim of the crisis. What is even worse is that I don´t see a better future. These austerity policies aren´t working at all and you don´t see any intentions of change.

  3. To my mind, the collapse of the housing bubble and the recession have left without a job to millions of middle-class people. Many of them are facing economic hardships.
    I hope the recovery appears in two years and the companies start to hire more staff. So, the consumers would spend again, and the economic crisis would vanish.
