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.
