Manifestación (Protest)

We are currently witnessing a huge "peaceful" protest in Barcelona.  It has been going on for many days now.  The people are protesting against the current government because so many younger citizens can not find work or make any money.  It is kind of confusing because Barcelona's government has so much strange history, but basically the idea is that they want a change in the government to have better benefits and equality. It is happening in a main plaza, called Plaza de Cataluña, which is in the middle of the city near our school.  But, no worries, it is not dangerous, just lots of people camping out.
