Blessed, Santa Bárabara

Summer 2012.  Europe is in crisis and the weaker southern economies are especially feeling the pain. They over-extended themselves during the fat years and now that the lean ones have arrived, they have to raid the piggy banks. Cuts are being made all over the place and in Spain one of the industries heavy hit is Mining.  Violent protests and violence have been going on for weeks and there is no sign that it will stop any time soon.
