I am much more relaxed

Today, the national front pages of all newspapers and television stations, both public and private, have started their front pages and reports showing the "incidents" that have occurred in various parts of Spain, hundreds of people have taken to the streets in violent protest, in almost all cases.  

According to media reports, their protest is against the latest measures taken to curb the number of infections in our country, such as, for example, the restriction of night-time mobility, or the temporary closure of night-time entertainment companies, which, as the media also point out, are the biggest source of infection in recent weeks. Regarding the people who have participated in these protests, the media have reported that they are all perfectly coordinated anti-system and/or extreme right-wing youths using urban guerrilla tactics.

I am particularly reassured, because although it is well known that in any protest/manifestation there are always groups of those mentioned above who are going to literally break up any kind of social action, turning it into a battlefield, of destruction and looting as shown by the images on the news of what happened last night, I am much more reassured that the people who have come out to protest are not ordinary citizens, of those who have been religiously paying their taxes, of the 150. 000 who have gone months without being paid by the ERTE, of the nearly 100,000 bars that have closed, of the million self-employed who have ceased their activity, of the thousands of medium and large companies that have had to make adjustments, layoffs, ERES, ERTES, closures; of the thousands and thousands of people who have gone from living off the fruits of their labour to having to use social services and live on welfare, of the millions of people who live in uncertainty and who do not know what will become of them tomorrow.

I am much more reassured knowing that the riots (let's call a spade a spade), according to the media, are coming from four ragtag, criminal, anti-system, fascist and other ilk, who are against the curfew because, frankly, I find it difficult to explain that they are perfectly coordinated and use urban guerrilla tactics; a mother holding her child, whom she does not have to feed; an elderly gentleman who is afraid of dying in a nursing home like his wife, without being taken to hospital and without being able to attend his funeral; or an ordinary citizen who is sunk and lost, because his freedom, democracy, constitution and legal security are disappearing, and all this without receiving any explanation, and what is worse, any glimmer of a solution, from those who should be giving it, who are neither there nor expected.
