- Resources:
This special coverage aims to give a voice to ordinary people living with the social, political and financial consequences of Europe's financial bailouts. We look to Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and other European countries affected by the banking crisis and Euro crisis.
The democratic deficit is growing in countries making bailout agreements, and citizens are voicing their pent-up frustrations with protests and new people's movements. Protests and so-called “revolutions” across Europe in 2011 are evidence of widespread discontent with the handling of economic crisis.
But this series will not just be about protest – we hope to capture the breadth of reflection and debate provoked by the European bailouts, featuring new ideas and alternative responses. From the hyperlocal to the artistic, we hope to feature a range of citizen media about the crisis from across Europe.
This special coverage has its own Twitter account – for updates, please follow @GVEuropeCrisis [9]. Or you can subscribe to our RSS Feed [10].
