Need to listen to people’s voice ...
THE youth gatherings in Spain to express anger on the rising unemployment rate, inflation and the government’s austerity measures, which were deemed against the middle class, have worsened the situation in the West Europe.Over 25,000 demonstrators recently gathered in Madrid’s main plaza in protest against the high unemployment rate in Spain, which now stands at 21 percent - the highest in the western world and a record of more than 4.5 million people without jobs.
Maybe the Middle Eastern springs have focused on the ouster of regimes engulfed in corruption, poverty and outright disregard of people’s demand for freedom of expression, while the spring of Spain emerged in an attempt to solve the unemployment problem.
However, one can still say Spain is a democratic country and It was wise not to use force against the protesters.
All that remains to be done is the quick implementation of economic reforms without overthrowing the regime.
The main point in both cases is the need to listen to the people’s voice at the right time and the right place. The citizens of any country should not be deprived of their basic needs like jobs, education and health programs.Governments all over the world must form crisis management teams to immediately take the necessary action and help the people. They should not remain in their respective posts for a long time and refrain from engaging in absolute denial.
