Summer 2012, Europe is in crisis and the vulnerable economies of the south feel the hardest blow. One of the most affected industries in Spain is mining, where the aid cut comes abruptly. In the absence of a plan to reconvert the sector and relocate workers, the entire mining basin looks closer to the abyss every day.
In the mining regions of Asturias and León, workers' anger at the threat to their future has materialized in strikes and clashes with the police. While some believe that miners believe they are special given the cuts that the entire country is suffering; others admire them for defending their jobs and their regions. Given this perspective, the workers' conflict has been projected above the initial demand to conglomerate popular discontent in the face of social setbacks and the lack of a solution to the crisis.
