Part of me sympathises with them, for it must be awful to be in a country with a 1/3 unemployment rate and no sign of hope. The Spanish economy was a bit ramshackle from the get go after Franko and all those decades of isolation. So it is no wonder that with the injection of 'other peoples money' (via the EU) the ordinary folk thought that a Golden Age of plenty had dawned. But someone should have been on watch in the halls of power and at least raised a voice of concern that no 'free' party lasts forever.
