Quote
First introduced in November 2013, the bill was immediately described as a tailor-made tool for the PP to quell public displays of social unrest over the government’s handling of the economic crisis and rampant political corruption.

The original draft included heavy fines for street protestors who carried signs “harmful to Spain or the regions,” and granted private security guards the right to help the police break up demonstrations. Protesting in front of Congress, the Senate or regional assemblies was considered a serious offense.

If only they were allowed to annex Gibraltar, it would solve all their economic ills.  Oh and the self-determination of Catalonia can fuck off too.

Damn it, I was hoping this would be a thread about gags.
There is no plague more evil and vile to watch spread than the plague that is the Von Habsburg dynasty.

Obviously the debt crisis in Spain has nothing to do with the alleged "laziness" of the Spanish, who had virtually no debt before the Bush recession in 2009. It's basically just failed EU policy.
