The revolt of the peoples moving to America
[Ennahar] For protesters, the situation resembles the one in Egypt, the latter gave the name of Hosni Mubarak to their governor. Demonstrators were protesting against a new law that prohibits workers the right to strike.According to the BBC website, demonstrations continued for a week in the United States of America and have grown Saturday and Sunday, when not less than 140,000 Americans erupted into the streets, during the weekend end, at the call of unions and student organizations in the state of Wisconsin to protest against a new bill of the governor of this state, a Republican, to limit the power of unions. The law, which has irritated the Americans in the city of Madison, state capital of Wisconsin, prohibits the right to strike, was considered by the majority of protesters, made up mainly of students and state officials, as a encroachment on the liberties and rights guaranteed not only by the U.S. Constitution and federal laws but also by the laws in each state. The protesters gathered during the last seven days before the seat of the governor, Scott Walker, but things took another turn in the city of Madison in the last three days of protests. A cons demonstration was started where dozens of demonstrators pro governor, displaying banners and chanting slogans in support of the new law. They have chosen to come together at the same place where the protesters hostile to the new law and insults and verbal altercation broke out between the two groups. According to many observers, the situation resembled to that in Egypt before the fall of the Mubarak regime, when the latter resorted to "Baltagias" (thugs) to quash the revolt. The Americans accuse the authorities of their State to adopt the same policy of Hosni Mubarak and Qadaffy. A demonstrator was carrying a banner that read "Welcome to Tahrir Square" in reference to Tahrir Square in Cairo, "another was carrying a portrait of the state governor written below" Hosni Mubarak".
