That is austerity only when a government does it on its own citizens.
In other cases, it can be called occupation, colonialism, etc.

No, that is democracy only if the government was elected by those same people.
Democracy is that everyone gets to choose the government, regardless of the quality of that government.
Well they were just getting started with identifying foreign meddlers behind the whole operation. Easier to pick those if there are ongoing protests.
