Dear people,

The Spanish media are keen on portraying this as a marginal protest by a handful of unemployed indignados and angry violent lefties. They don’t dare to acknowledge how widely the malcontent has spread through all layers of the population. The Spanish government has too many problems to attend to as it is, between Catalan separatists whom they understandably accuse of opportunism, and the impending bankruptcy of the state, which could result in a hostile takeover.

Spain’s most important newspapers are El País and El Mundo. The former is slightly left leaning, the latter right leaning. Surprisingly, today El Mundo brought the story about police infiltration, under the title ‘I’m your colleague, damned!’

Equally interesting is the fact that the Spanish 24 hour public news channel got a call from the prime minister’s office when they brought live pictures from #25S. They were ordered to stop their coverage. Instead, while the Paseo del Prado was turning into a war zone, they emitted a thirty minute cultural interest program.

The second wave is rising, people. The first wave is already history. This summer I have been editing my full account of the events of last year, from the start in Puerta del Sol, all through Europe with the popular marches to Brussels and Athens. If you want to know anything about the Spanish Revolution, be sure to check it out. It’s most comprehensive and the most thrilling narrative you will find on this subject.
