Credit-crunch protests in Europe
“Europe’s time of troubles is gathering depth and scale. Governments are trembling. Revolt is in the air.” The Guardian (UK) published a story which tries to give a snapshot of credit crunch reactions across Euroape at a single day, January 30, - from Athens via Paris and Riga to Reykjavik.
“Across Europe, the credit crunch has been fuelling civil unrest in the form of protests and rallies. In European Union countries from Greece to Bulgaria, the economic crisis has dashed hopes for prosperity among the middle classes and young people, compounding resentment of governments already exposed by public perceptions of nepotism, arrogance and corruption”
