Anti-austerity protests sweep across Europe

BRUSSELS -


European unions orchestrated a crescendo of anti-austerity protests across the continent Wednesday,
sending workers ranging from Greek doctors to Spanish bus drivers to Lithuanian engineers out to vent
over job cuts, higher taxes, soaring unemployment and smaller pensions.

One man even blocked the entrance to the Irish parliament with a cement truck,
decrying the country's enormous bank bailouts with blood red slogans like
"Toxic Bank" and "All politicians should be sacked."


Waves of demonstrators clad in bright red, green and blue union jackets marched
through Brussels toward European Union buildings, aiming to reinforce the impact
of Spain's first nationwide strike in eight years.

Unions estimated the turnout in Brussels at 100,000 people. Some protesters there confronted
riot squads with a sit-down protest in the middle of the street. About 150 people were detained,
some in scuffles with police.

Strikes or protests took place Wednesday in Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Slovenia and Lithuania,
all aimed at the budget-slashing, tax-hiking, pension-cutting austerity plans that
European governments have implemented to try to control their debt.

"We as Americans embody, as well, the heart of mom Grizzly, who in her fierce will places the protection of her home and family above all else. We are blessed with our right to pursue our individual happiness, to protect our homes and families, and to speak our minds without fear, and we cherish the men and women of all colors and faiths who have shed their blood to make that so. So christened, we stand against anyone who would seek to undermine the safety and security of our children, our homes and our country. Threaten who and what we love, and…well, in the spirit of mom Grizzly…you best take your efforts somewhere else."
