The Greek debt crisis has caused Italy’s ability to pay its sovereign debt into question. Banks and other debt holders are worried about default, and the fears are becoming something of a self-fulfilling prophesy.

and Spain just got downgraded as well. I seem to remember there was a big “Occupy madrid” protest a few monts back as well, mostly to protest budget cuts and the absolute lack of jobs for young people in Spain, where youth unemployment is well over 20%
