The term "picketers" is used by the BBC. I think we should make the difference...

I think the term "piquete, piquetero" is used in all Spanish speaking countries more or less the same, as it seems.

Not to confuse, I am all with mem , a demonstrator with a piquetero.

The picketers (in Spain) are the ones who impose the demonstration on others. So, the people who do not wish to take part in the demonstrations, are "obliged" to do so by the picketers.

In Spain, the piquetes are often quite uncivilised.
