Protests have been raging in Spain since Sunday, May 15. The one we?ve been seeing pictures of is in Madrid, in the famous Puerta del Sol. But there were protests in 60 different locations on Sunday, and they?re still raging in different parts of the country.

The center of the movement is very much Puerta del Sol, where protesters are now camping out overnight just like they did in Tahrir Square in Egypt. The protesters claim they will stay in the square until after regional elections this Sunday, according to Der Spiegel. The protest movement has been declared illegal by the government, over fears it may influence the result of the elections. The traditional media is allegedly under-covering the story.

The Protests Have Started In Spain

Spain, home to an unemployment rate of 21.3% and an annual inflation rate of 3.5%, is now starting to experience serious youth protests.
This has, thus far, not been a problem for the country. But since Sunday the capital of Madrid has seen protesters take to the streets, with the situation escalating in the last 24 hours.
These protests come ahead of local elections in the country, to be held this weekend.
We mentioned before that with the youth unemployment rate so high, Spain could be the next Egypt.
This video could signal the start of something bigger, or just a minor moment before an election. The country's national election is to be held in March of next year, and this may just be a precursor to that.
