In Spain's most politically conservative of cities, an unexpected and growing revolt - against the status quo, established political institutions, and against the old acceptance that nothing much will ever change.

The country's ruling party is facing growing anger over Spain's economic problems, and many people shunned the polls and chosen to protest instead.

Al Jazeera's Tim Friend reports from Madrid.

  • no one expects the Spanish revolution

  • massing in a square and stating nothing aside from "we don't like the way things are" isn't going to accomplish anything good. you have to define goals. asking for "change", without ever establishing what that change is, is meaningless.

  • good insights, great topic

  • shit country spain, really a shithole

  • @hexcane You got serious issues and best is to just ignore people like you like every one does. 

  • @hexcane Oh so that childhood experience twisted your thinking-you made an analogy&drawn a conclusion i.e.From an anti-racist be a racist?This route that you've chosen,has it broaden you thinking or improved your cognitions or analytical ability in any sense?By ur previous comment it seems you've totally lost it!Talking about the easy route pal-If you feel need for a strong emotional connection then try invest that energy into something positive&just try be a normal person-That'd help society

  • @1adadada haha, guess its the best way to deal with the poor & hopeless ;-) but it is (was) very important to try help others, especially the special ones lol & I appreciate your effort :P

  • @Reptile0000 hey reptile, I know -some people are just not as smart as they aspire to be, i'm ignoring said ignoramous from here on in... ;-)

  • @1adadada wow lol now that's called trying help someone getting educated but sadly some people have no hope

  • @hexcane How filthy and racist comment is that. Dog, horse? Are you a horse then? Definitely not a human on your head are ya? People like you and their mentality is a burden on our society. You are not one of us, you are your type (a racist scum a piece of shit) whatever colour/race you are. And who are you to declare ownership of this land? I'm sure you didn't mean back of your alley?
