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!
