Europe’s most earnest protesters
19th July 2011
Nobody can blame Spanish politicians for struggling to understand the movement. The indignants, who claim to have no leaders, are themselves unclear what they stand for. Their assembly-based, consensus-seeking debates are painfully slow. Manuel Chaves, a minister, likens their meetings to those of the bickering Peoples’ Front of Judea in the Monty Python film “Life of Brian”.
Reminds me of the Al Capp standard, Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything.
