Austerity or inflation, which do they want? Because baring significant debt writedowns, which the wealthy and elites oppose, they really don't have any other choices.

Do you mean if I want my bank to cancel my mortgage debt, then by refusing, they are wealthy and elites opposing me? They loaned me money and I have the house, but others may have blown the money with nothing to show. The money they loaned may be from a pensioner's savings. If people don't get paid back, future loans dry up, and then there is no system, and little chance to buy a house.

The reason Barcelona had a million people show up is because they were less protesting austerity and more signalling their desire to split from Spain.

People must understand that in Europe there's lack of democracy. Europe is governed by non-elected people having frightened everybody to keep quiet the crowd. Someody wrote: Union of the socialist republics of europe; that's it.

that is ridiculous... European democracy is TRUE democracy where you have choices unlike USA where you have only two corporate choices at the federal level.
