Mortgage protesters occupy bank in Barcelona



Members of Mortgage Victims' Platform (PAH), occupy a bank branch during a protest to support neighbors who are facing evictions processes in Barcelona, Spain, on March 19. With 26 percent unemployment, Spain is struggling to emerge from its second recession in just over three years. Spain's borrowing costs have dropped in recent months with investors less wary since European authorities announced the country would be helped, if needed, to handle its debt.

Good for them. It's great to see the people standing up to the banks, especially since the puppet governments they installed around the globe are not doing a thing to protect the people from those predators.

Good luck to them. I hope they are successful. People are committing suicide as a result of these crimes and still the 'leaders' seem to care little about it. These are the kinds of times where major changes do happen though and when ordinary people realize they can no longer sit on the sidelines.
