How
can half a million people be invisible?
Over
a Quarter Million People Demand an End to Austerity Now
20
June, 2015
Massive
protests under the banner #EndAusterityNow were held in England,
Germany, Scotland and France drawing well over a quarter of a million
people, united for the same cause.
The
marches were intended to highlight how homelessness, income
inequality, child poverty, suicides and evictions have increased in
the past five years. The austerity crisis is how the working class
are currently being made to carry the burden and sacrifice their
lives by paying what amounts to a price of human suffering for the
bad policy decisions made by greedy capitalists of big business and
governments, instead of taxing the 1% who developed the current
economic crisis gripping Europe.
UK
organizers estimated that 250,000 people took part in the march from
the Bank of England to Westminster.
A
spokesman for the People’s Assembly, which organised the protest,
said: “It is clear this march has exceeded all expectations.
“Even
the police are estimating that there are ‘several hundred thousand’
marching.
