Fishermen are already on the streets. Watch this phenomenon very closely. Within the next few months other social groups will follow suit protesting against prevailing economic and social conditions.
Who will be the main targets of popular discontent? Politicians. It's going to be serious, indeeed, but this is a reaction quite understandable within Catholic culture. People are unable of independent thought. Thus, they expect government - that is, politicians - to tell them what to think and what to do. When things go wrong - and they are going wrong by the day - it is not their fault. It is the fault of politicians who did not do their job properly telling people the right things to think and do.

Thus, as economic conditions continue to deteriorate rapidly, we are about to watch the most radical, ferocious, virulent attack on democratic politicians this generation has ever known in this country. Ultimately, it is democracy that will be at stake. I doubt it will resist. These forthcoming events will have a parallel with similar events that occured in another Catholic country this decade: Argentina, 2002.
