Ten Million Strike in Spain, 50,000 protest in Brussels, hundreds of thousands protest throughout Europe against austerity measures.



Some scenes from the general strike in Spain. The Unions have claimed 10 million were out. There were protests all over Europe including 50,000 in Brussels In Slovenia public sector workers have been on strike for the third day against a wage freeze.

Here's another video from Ireland which is falling in to a crisis situation much like Greece.


I just looked through the Wall Street Journal and not a mention of any of it.  Same in the main section of the San Francisco Chronicle.
