Protest in Madrid summer 2011 due to crisis
Anyway, this begs the question “what is really democracy”. Is it just a western agenda of conquer? If western nations have been preaching the East about democracy, then why haven’t they reached DEMOCRACY in its true sense? So what is DEMOCRACY?

Thousands of protesters who say they are ignored by Spain’s political class gathered in a central square in Madrid on Wednesday night to demand reforms, despite an effort by electoral officials to impose a ban on demonstrations as Spain prepares to vote in local elections this weekend. As El País reports, the protesters defied a ruling by Madrid’s electoral board, which had refused to grant permission for a fourth straight day of protests in the Spanish capital’s Puerta del Sol, so close to election day. The Spanish newspaper explains that the protesters are “fed up with high unemployment and a faltering economy,” and feel unrepresented by the major political parties.
