Today police has violently evicted the squares taken in Lleida and Barcelona.
Regarding Barcelona:
This morning around 7:00 in the morning the Mossos d'Esquadra (the equivalent of the national police) and the Guardia Urbana (the equivalent of the city police) started surronding the square . Their first request were being given all the crystal bottles and the kitchen material which they started doing. After approximately one hour they started evicting the people without identification plates. Around 10:30 they started firing rubber bullets in an attempt to separate the people. Eventually more and more people has come to the square so police had to retreat being completely swamped by the amount of people there. In the end at least 87 campers were wounded and two detained.
According to the informations I got the reason behind this is that they expected violence since tomorrow Barça is playing a football match.

Regarding Lleida:
Around 7:30 operatives from the Mossos d'Esquadra (the equivalent of the national police) and the Guardia Urbana (the equivalent of the city police) have violently forced the eviction of the square even though the demonstrators have acted peacefully the whole time and opposed only non violent resistance. According to reports there have been various wounded campers and two detained ones.
The camps will try to concentrate again at 20 at Ricard Vinyes square.
On their behalf, the Government Representative on Lleida, Ramon Farré, has stated that the reason behind the policial actuation was public higiene. The city major, Àngel Ros, says undefined demonstrations cannot be tolerated and that there were salubrity and order reasons to act.

We won
ReplyDeleteWe won because something changed irreversibly, in our minds, and in our hearts. Because we met in the streets, and now we know who our friends are. We might be many, or we might be just a few, but now we know we are not alone. We are the outraged against corruption and impunity. We do not care which party wins, they are all rotten. We are here to stay. They might kick us out of our streets, but we will stay here, among you, visible or hidden recovering to surge again. And say the truth to your face: you are crooks, you are the ruin of the country, we are the hope of a new world, and WE ARE HERE TO STAY!
You are a bit wrong! The unemployed blocked a transport way. => So they would make more unemployment. => So you can not say, that this action was undemocratic.
