EUROPEAN UP-RISE, MEDIA BLACKOUT
A total Western Media Blackout of the Massive anti-austerity
strikes and protests swept across Europe as millions took to the
streets to express their frustration over rising unemployment,
austerity, injustice, an end to the “war on terror,” an end to the
surveillance society, justice to the banks who stole nations worth of
wealth, and noise to the dire economic prospects ahead. Many rallies
ended with violent clashes with police.
Workers marched in 23 countries across Europe to mark the
European Day of Action and Solidarity. General strikes had been called
in Spain and Portugal, paralyzing public services and international
flights, in Belgium and France transport links were partially disrupted
by strikes and demonstrations, in Italy and Greece thousands of workers
and students marched through the streets.
Other EU countries, such as Germany, Austria and Poland, saw
well attended union-led rallies. The Europe-wide strike action, the
largest in a series of protests against the austerity policies, was
coordinated by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and
promoted on Twitter under the “14N” hashtag.
