Pedro Almodovar Caballero the 63 year old Spanish film director, screenwriter and producer, one of the most successful and internationally known Spanish filmmaker of his generation, has been featured by Giles Tremlett in an article published in The Guardian titled ‘Pedro Almodovar backs wave of Spanish protests over family evictions’.

"I think the country as a whole is worried about social unrest breaking out. I certainly am," he said as Spanish unemployment hit a national record of 27% last week. "Every day that goes by, I get the impression that there is further provocation to make it explode. That doesn't mean I am inciting anyone to violence. It is quite the opposite. I would invite everyone to react, but in the most peaceful way possible," he added. Almodovar said be backed a controversial, if peaceful, campaign of protests outside ministers' houses that prime minister Mariano Rajoy's conservative People's party (PP) government has likened to the behaviour of the Nazis. "The people being thrown out of their homes have children too," said Almodovar, whose friend, the former Socialist prime minister Felipe Gonzalez, had called on protesters to respect the family homes of fellow politicians. "And those children see their parents or brothers and sisters dragged down the street by the police." Almodovar, who has a new comedy, I'm So Excited!, coming out in Britain this week, says he, like many other Spaniards, is frustrated with a double-dip recession that started four years ago. The crisis has hit young people hard, with unemployment for those aged under 25 running at 57%...”  Inspired by Giles Tremlett, The Guardian ow.ly/l5p8J Image source Roberto Gordo Saez ow.ly/l5oHW Worried about social unrest breaking out (June 5 2013)
