Thousands of Britons were demonstrating against government cuts Cameron

Thousands of British parade in London this Saturday against the conservative Liberal government cuts. The appointment carries the seal of the unions and intends to collect about 300,000 people. A number would be among the most heavily attended event from the protest against intervention in Iraq in February 2003.

They are protesting against the adjustment plan submitted in the autumn by David Cameron, which aims to eliminate in five years a deficit of 12%. The program includes an increase in VAT from 17.5% to 20%. But it focuses primarily on reducing public spending, which will erode over five years around 95,000 million euros.

The plan was introduced by the Government in October last year, but the first cuts will take effect next week. So those who oppose them have chosen this weekend to protest, which will close with a mass rally in Hyde Park and a speech by Ed Miliband Labour leader. The perception of the cuts has varied in the UK in recent months.

According to the poll published today by the newspaper "The Guardian" is opposed to them only a third of citizens, ten points less than in November last year. But that rejection is likely to grow as layoffs are realized in the public sector, which according to independent estimates could reach half a million over the legislature.

The Government has pledged to keep intact the school items, health and development aid. But unprotected left all others who suffer cuts ranging between 20% and 28%. The cuts aim to reduce the spending ministries, but also the agencies run by local councils and associations, whose budget is reduced by 28%.

An endpoint that will facilitate the closing of municipal libraries, orphanages and day centers and sent to arrest thousands of public sector employees, as in the United Kingdom does not have a job for life. Among the protesters, there are nurses, students, teachers and policemen in plain clothes.

Also Richard Evans, a Welsh officer has about 276 miles on foot to protest against government plans. Police have warned of the presence of violent groups in the crowd and the NGO Liberty has warned it will deploy a handful of observers to monitor police violence. The march was convened unions increasingly decimated in the private sector but still powerful in some public sector areas such as transport, education or healthcare.

A have joined the call for many other groups. Among them, stands anarchists, communists, homosexuals and Christians affected in one way or another by what lies ahead. It seems unlikely that the protest will change the view of the Government, which on Wednesday presented a budget that does not deviate from their original plan of austerity.

Under Labour, the Conservatives' ideological zeal, who are eager to trim the welfare state. Cameron as Prime Minister by the extravagant legacy of his predecessor, which forced him to present the most ambitious plan of setting the postwar period. The Executive is committed to deficit reduction would help create a climate of trust in which the private sector to absorb the public sector layoffs and says that without the adjustment plan the UK would be in the spotlight as markets weaker countries of the euro area.

Labor, however, think the government cut too fast and venture that will return the country into recession.
