Spain: Hologram rally outside parliament defends right to protest | euronews, world news

 

Protesting for the youtube generation - we want to protest, but we can't be bothered turning up. What ever next, holographic policemen to police the demos? Actually, holographic police would be a good idea; they wouldn't "accidently" hit you over the head, and if they did, so what!

I think the point is that they were protesting something that would have banned their right to assemble outside Parliament in this way (so like here, then), so they were being clever.

 

And you can't argue that a gimmick like this is getting them more coverage than the standard approach - we don't hear about most UK protests, so we'd never have heard of a Spanish one otherwise.
