Topic: Indignados

Thousands of protesters known as the "Indignados" took to the streets of Madrid to demonstrate against economic hardship and political corruption. With youth unemployment in Spain reaching nearly 50%, the movement is targeting banks for turning private debt into public debt. The hosts criticize the lack of U.S. media coverage for these massive European protests compared to other global events.

Protesters known as the "indignant" or Indignados completed a marathon march from Spain to Brussels to denounce EU-ordered austerity measures. Hundreds of demonstrators defied bans to set up camp in Elizabeth Park. The hosts contrast the commitment of these European marchers with American "weekend warrior" protesters.
