There are few more spectacular images of this year the Egyptian Tahrir square full and vibrant awake for days until the dictatorial regime of Hosni Mubarak leave power. Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Spain, Greece, France, United Kingdom and United States are just some of the countries where citizens have expressed their outrage with the power or the consequences of the economic crisis.
That protester squares global outrage, "The Protester" is the person of the year for Time magazine.
The publication explains that the manifestations of this year have been for them a return to the origins of journalism. "Long ago, long before the major news events could be read on paper," says 'Time', "the protesters were the main creators of history." "The demonstrations were a natural continuation of politics" he concludes.
Remember the magazine that 1989 was the "end of history, the endpoint of ideological evolution of the global triumph of Western liberalism." And then, in the 90's, "Fight the Power 'was nothing more than a song and' Rage Against the Machine 'a rock band. "Effective mass demonstration and became an oxymoron ... until a year ago protester again became a creator of history," says the article.
Remember the surprise that was for the drafting of Time what happened in Tunisia and throughout the Arab Spring, how it spread from Spain the movement of the 'outraged' by cities around the world and dedicate a special mention of the movement 'Occupy' and their slogan "I'm the 99%".
And the movement does not end: "The Protester" is stronger now in Moscow, showing that it has won this prestigious award.
