On September 11th - Let's Go To The Streets!

Spanish: Nazis, media and police fail to stop the debate with former political prisoners and Criminal Diego

The Casal Popular CASTELLÓ has been a place of debate despite the efforts of criminalization of the system.

- Not all the propaganda machinery of the state (Las Provincias, ABC, El Mundo, Canal 9, La Vanguardia ...).
- Neither Spanish institutions (Government Commissioner in the Comunidad Valenciana Ricardo Peralta).
- Neither the threats and insults of Fascists (Spain 2000).
- Neither the repressive state bodies (police identified all attendees).



None of them managed to stop the "Support Group for Prisoners of the Plain" had prepared for this Saturday, a debate with former political prisoners and Criminal Diego. The force has been meeting throughout the digestive system and has developed a chat with the full participation, where testimonies of activists kidnapped by the Spanish have been reminded attendees address the dangers posed to fall on the cement upon which the prison is that people in Spain and France.

ABOUT THE ACT

This Saturday May 29th was held in Castellon a day of welcome and Criminal Diego. Despite pressure from the media and the fascist provocation, an act was carried forward in a discussion with more than 80 people. Was not discouraged, rather curious about the experience and Diego Criminal and answers.
Among the many topics that were highlighted chat forms of protests and demands that occur in such a hostile environment, where despite the social impact is nil seeks to improve the situation. Such actions are possible thanks to the links established between the prisoners, political and social setting a common goal and extending it to each module through cooperation, support and collective solidarity.
He also commented on the importance of communication with the outside world and find out that the ideas remain. It is part of the moral support they need to face the injustices that live in there. In conclusion, the nine years in prison and the repression exercised by the media and the state did not affect his spirit of independence and to consolidate a socialist project. He then ended the day with dinner.
It is worth mentioning the police on the street of Casal Popular de Castelló, identifying everyone who passed by there.

PRESSURE ON THE MEDIA

Since the organization of the event noted the harassment suffered media these days. The media have shown their lack of impartiality of information and have created a climate that occurred Casal Popular and aggression against its members. Fortunately not regret any serious incident at the moment. However, Casal People these days have been the victim of a journalistic model that actually benefit from the ninguneja stir violence.
The turmoil has sent the media image of a terrorist proetarra Casal, criminalizing a whole and a plural number of political sensitivities. All media, no differences have followed the strategy of "Everything is ETA." Egunkaria is ETA, ETA is Chavez, and now is the Time "is the Casal Popular ETA. Vicente Cornella, journalist del Mediterraneo, known for his lack of scruple with calumniosos headlines, full of lies, with a pen that could happen to the salary of extremists groups. Channel 9 likewise disseminates opinions in the line of any political party extremadreta.
However, before we have a textbook example of the functioning of media. Build the story by selecting interested and themed issues of the agenda to communicate. For example, invented the groups supporting the ceremony (even summoned the group to support prisoners and the media point to more groups), silence the diversity initiatives that live in Casal and have more sympathy social (consumer cooperative ecological group for historical memory, collective feminist literary gatherings, etc..), and include those groups that raise more uproar among the people (anarchists, libertarian soul-and independence-and forward-maulets) .
In all news glimpse interests underlying a speech two former ETA prisoners is sufficient reason to criminalize an entire project, and hundreds of people have gone for him. The important news is profitable beyond the lack of partiality, the need for a sober analysis acarnissaments not to fall into the media with social consequences. It was a sort of soap opera, reality simplifying formulas populist media, to promote the show and the circus coming to a chronic pink journalism.

CONCLUSION TO THE JOURNALISTS scavengers

A journalist with the unfortunate event of items extremadreta asked us because we left the place to confront them. I wanted to carrion. There is nothing juicier than violence, in a photo, a video recording. It rounded the final chapter, the rest are relegated to the pursuit of exclusive and stunning. The audience we have the perfect story, everything is delayed behind the spectacle.
After all, we can draw the conclusion of the need to educate ourselves to remain vigilant against a construction of reality interested, but can easily end up believing that everything is ETA. The commercialization of the media, and the interests of state, have a fundamental right to pervert the information. The degradation is the fact that report into the circumstances demand an extra literacy of the audience to confront the repressive methods that exercise means.

The struggle continues!

Young people from Lleida to the binding referendum for the independence of the Catalan Countries

About fifty young people participate in the procession organized by the Youth Assembly of Lleida under the theme "Towards the binding referendum for the independence of the Catalan Countries."

This afternoon, some fifty youths have participated in the parade that took place on the streets of Lleida to ask for a binding referendum for the independence of the Catalan Countries. The parade is crowded amid a festive atmosphere but also of struggle and has been in full festival of the city where the youth has generated a demand for space required for further progress towards building a free and socially Catalan Countries righteous.

The parade started at the Public Library of Lleida, has continued the Calle Mayor, where he has painted a mural that read "The young people decide to independence", and ended at Pl. Francis, which was read a manifesto, and has been exploited a way with faces Zapatero, Sarkozy, Camps, Antich, Montilla and King Juan Carlos of Bourbon, demonstrating that we are unhappy youth and society Catalan is towards these characters that are more representative sample of our oppression by Spain.

Since the value AJLL act positively and encourage young people to continue fighting, to organize themselves and go out every day and keep walking towards the independence of the Catalan Countries.

The prosecutor requested the case file screen Terrace

The news coincided with the celebration of the full concentration and a requirement of the City of Terrace to clarify the political responsibility of the act Espanyol.

After nearly a year, criminalizing the Catalan independence, not to recognize her right to not have to go every 15 days to sign Courts, the Prosecution referred to the courts to file the petition.

Now the ball is on the roof of the City of Terrace to whom the entities that support al'encausat, James, militant 'Endavant', We demand the immediate withdrawal of such accusation.

All this when more than sixty people were concentrated before the municipal council to coincide with the full explanations where needed on the act Espanyol. The Council recognized that only with the installation of the screen you cost to the public purse more than 6,000 euros when far had always denied taking part in the promotion and organization of the ceremony, remember, was filled miltants ultra-right, with flags of Spain, the Franco regime and the Bourbon regime, raising the arm continuously.

Alerta Solidaria We believe that this case put back into evidence by the ridiculous fact Catalan police trying to criminalize the Catalan independence, lengthen the process as possible, in attributing other people, hoping that appear to demonstrate evidence or evidence that prove they do not know. A new case of political repression on the basis of illegal files. A new case of embarrassment for a police department and an interior that can be called democratic.

Prisoner Update: Catalan Politacal Prisoners Released!

The Catalan Solidarity: Ireland Committee has welcomed the release of Catalan political prisoners Diego Sanchez Burri & Zigor Larredonda Muñoz, who were finally freed after 9 years of incarceration back on Saturday 16 January.

Some 40 people had gathered at the prison in Castellón, where they where imprisoned although most of Diego's sentence was passed in Albacete.

That evening, a welcome home party and a toast to Zigor and Diego was held in the Plaza de la Vila de Gracia, where over hundred people waited to greet and celebrate him on his release.

Many Catalan Left Independentist organisations joined in the chorus of celebration at his release and also called upon the Spanish state to release all other political prisoners currently being held.

The Youth Assembly of Lleida participates in protests during the ceremony of laying the first stone of the Parador Roser Segrià

The concentration was, once again, encapsulated by the Catalan police who got in the way using its feature violence, preventing the demonstrators to exercise their right and assaulting a young woman. In addition, last night were a series of painted against the Parador that the City Council has removed more quickly in an attempt to silence those who struggle to save the Rosary.

This afternoon, about thirty people have said during the official ceremony of laying the first stone of the Inn chaired by Àngel Ros Mayor and the Secretary of State for Tourism. The Catalan police have got in the way in demonstrating when they decided to climb to Roser for his public protest and people have been concentrated at the foot of the street cornered Knights.

The protest has passed peacefully during the time that has lasted the official. However, the Catalan police have used force and aggression encapsulating and attacked the demonstrators, as they did less than a week ago during a visit to Overcome concentration of kings. This time there was a young man who has suffered this aggression by Waiters while he shouted against the conversion of the Rosary in a Parador. Other people have also experienced the power of the police cordon prevented the passage.

During concentration were drawn slogans in favor of the Rosary, against its conversion into a Parador Nacional and cries against the mayor and the team of municipal government.

Thus, from the Save the Citizen Initiative Roser, of which the AJLL in part:

- Making it clear that today's event shows once more that the governing PSC totally ignore the demands of most of the citizens of Lleida and makes the imposition of effective project that will convert the Rosary, a public space uses of cultural memory and is a symbol for resistance and Lleida in a luxury hotel to serve the ruling classes.
- We denounce the action the Catalan police, who tried to prevent the demonstration was viewed, preventing people concentrated there to exercise their right to demonstrate. It is the second time in less than a week that the police use their strength and attitude atemoritzadora to prevent an act of protest in Lleida.
- Make clear our opposition to its approach to the conflict of the Rosary has been conducted since the municipal government, which has used all means of repression that has been possible (if Gerard +6).
- We believe it is shameful that people in Spain are strolling at home in a space that has been and is a benchmark of national struggle and resistance, as it was in 1707 when 700 were killed in Lleida.
- We reaffirm our opposition to the draft National Parador, a luxury hotel that will only sit defaced a neighborhood that has many needs to cover, and we are committed to the conversion of the Rosary in a public space the service of all citizens of Lleida.

1500 people are manifested in Valencia for a Europe of free peoples and workers

Some 1,500 people have demonstrated on Thursday 26 March through the streets of downtown Valencia squad for the "Valencia Campaign Against the Europe of Capital and War and its Crisis for Solidarity Among Peoples. The demonstration was the response of the left Valencia at the summit of European Union ministers meeting this Thursday just in the capital of Turia. The independent left there took part, grouped in Coordinator Horta against crisis COS bringing together, Move (OSANI) Maulets, SEPC and CS Earth.

During the demonstration were cheered slogans against capitalism and the crisis and for the distribution of wealth and employment; States against Europe and Europe in favor of a socially just and free people of villages. We have also heard shouts of support system for the most disadvantaged groups such as women, and immigrants and young people. The Manifesto of the Valencian campaign called on all social movements "to join in the struggle against structural injustice system promoted by the EU and the creation of alternatives based on solidarity among peoples."

In the event we can highlight the Left Independence, grouped around the Coordinator of the crisis-Horta made against the COS, Forward (OSANI) Maulets, SEPC and CS Land and character of different actions in recent months anticapitalist in the metropolitan area of Valencia has been the most numerous and where the cries of protest have not stopped the march at all. In the manifesto issued today by the independent left was alleged undemocratic nature of the European Union was created as a manager of major capital project and therefore contrary to the interests of workers and responsible plans to increase its exploitation . In this respect the independence highlighted the hypocrisy that is the conclusion by the Union of the two summits to be held in Valencia, of equality and sustainability, as capitalist Europe is promoting the opposite. So from the independent left has appealed to the working class to organize and build a movement strong and combative side to that proposed in the "capitalist system and those who benefit."

The mobilization is completed after reading the joint manifesto on the door of the court after the government delegation would have forced a last minute change in the completion of the demonstration site.

Continued resistance to the demolition of the neighborhood and popular Cabañal

Today, April 9, is the day that the last four since a wave of demolition will begin this week in the neighborhood of Cabañal Valencia, and perhaps not finish first confrontations with neighbors and members of the moves social and local police nationwide. There are now six houses demolished a long list of properties threatened. But finally it seems that the neighborhood resistance and the power of images in the media offered comuncació Hagen have prompted the authorities postponed the demolition that were planned for Friday.

That have been repeated clashes since Tuesday, have occurred mainly in actions to prevent the machines entered in the vicinity of the houses that they would be landing.

The neighbors and police action against demonstrators, the use of batons, shot rubber bullets, and even more refined techniques of martial arts in order to facilitate the passage of the machines have been d a great brutality, especially in yesterday's session Wednesday. There was a lot of injuries among the demonstrators, and some had to be hospitalized.

The repression has also been intense these days, and at least four people have been arrested, all of which have already gone out of police headquarters.

What has most surprised in certain areas is the constant presence and forceful in his actions of the Spanish police then supposed to declare illegal the actions the ministry of culture for the expansion of Blasco Ibáñez, to affect a protected historical monuments, members of bodies of state security, should not take sides in favor of the Valencian government and city council, who are acting, in theory, against the ministerial rules. So this afternoon a rally was called at 19pm on government delegation to request the resignation of its CEO Ricardo Peralta denuciar and the ambiguity with which the Spanish government is also acting PSOE Valencia.

It is worth mentioning that the protagonist is always taking the platform Saving Cabañal neighbors, particularly on the media, but against the unjustified regret confidence in state government entity that has shown this far.

Also noteworthy participation of members of all social movements of Valencia, who are going to the neighborhood every day to defend the rights of their neighbors and all citizens of the capital.

What is certain is that the actions of resistance remain in the rubble when they resume again, and when the spirits are still intact and the desire to fight for this district are now stronger than ever.

Women, crises will become more precarious!

Despite what some television and newspapers, especially in the beginning, have announced the highlights of March 8 were not snow. The most notable is that another year thousands of people again took to the streets to denounce the patriarchy and capitalism go hand in hand.
