I have heard some strange news from Spain today which is not showing on any of the world news services. Basically it says that the Spanish military announced over the weekend that it will not support the Government with the austerity measures and that it is "with the people" Also that the King has told the government to prepare for a military coup. Is this bs or is this news being suppressed.

There does not seem to be anything on the internet and/or news to support this.
I think it will be BS.

I checked all internet and news service but this news came to me from someone who lives in Spain.
That is all I know for now.

I live in Spain, and I have heard nothing about this. They may not agree with the cut backs, but don't think you should worry about them doing anything else.

Buen Camino!

No military is going to support cuts that affect it (including here in UK). Extrapolating that to a military coup is a little bit ridiculous. Buen Camino!

This may have something to do with the 'Civil Servants' demonstration in Madrid last night. The demonstration was peaceful and friendly and the 'Riot Police', who presumably are Civil Servants, took off their riot helmets and put on their normal hats. There was no rioting and the demonstration was not causing problems, so there was no need for riot gear, but presumably it is possible to read into this what may, or may not, have been intended.

it was just a military stating that they will not happily take all the reductions in wages which are expected, nothing said about a coup - this said, the military do not have too many ways to demonstrate or rebel...

nothing to be feared, my friend!
