Unemployment in Spain has exceeded 6 million people and the government, far from solving this problem the only thing it does is increase it with useless labor reforms and rising impuestos. The population makes it worse situation.
Youth are also disenchanted people as evidenced by protests, For cuts in health and education spending as a result of the crisis makes them stand an uncertain future.
Today such images we see every day, but many do not want to realize this situation and prefer to look the other way and ignore this reality.
