Spanish mayor fights austerity by stealing from grocery stores

[Zarkho]

Again: You're missunderstanding everything;

1. They did not stole from a small grocery but from 2 supermarkets, Mercadona and Carrefour, so no small peasant was affected.

2. This is not a sustained campaing, but a single action with the objective to raise concern about the problem of many families that don't have anything because the consecuences of speculation, corruption, crises and bad political and economical management.

So... STOP saying things like "prices will increase" or "farmers poverty will deepen", it is not true! After this action many people is concerned that big sectors of the population of Spain can't satisfy their basic needs and supports the motto People and rights over profits! This will force goverments to take measures in they wan't to prevent new assaults of impoverished people in the future.

And, by the way: this is not the only "ilegal" action by civil society going on in Spain nowadays: many people who lost his job and house because the crisis is now occupying empty (but new) houses owned by banks and public authorities that are kept empty for speculative pourposes.

So, these are ilegal actions, but when basic rights like having a house or food are in danger, these actions turn completely legit.
