   This article does an abysmal job of describing the situation, but I hope a skeptical reader will realize that something is very odd when they notice that these protests are directed against the opposition and not against the government.

      What's so hard to understand? The opposition blocked the (minority) government's legislation, so people are protesting the opposition's actions. Maybe not a common occurrence, but seem's pretty straightforward to me.

      I don't understand what you mean. There were social protests against the current situation; the government took steps to improve it, and most of the opposition parties rejected those measures. The current social protests are directed against the opposition, which is responsible for the situation remaining the same. What should Spain ask the government to do?

         People from functional countries may not understand why a government of a parliamentary system can't pass legislation.

         Not Italians, though.
