Yesterday the Barcelona "stop the war" assembly occupied the centre of the city and numbered between 800,000 and over a million. Attendence in the other cities of Girona, Lleida, Tarragona, and smaller towns such as SantCugat brought the total to over two million participants in Catalúnya. 33% of the population of this state have assembled.
They have answered the manifesto of "Auturem la Guerra" with united cries of "stop this war", "stop the palestinian war" they have called on Aznar to resign. They have called for "nunca mais".


At 17h00 yesterday Activists of El Dinero Gratis and YoMango and other groupings preparing the 2004 forum occupied number 15 Avinyó next to Plaza George Orwell.
This building is now designated
"el espai alliberat contra la guerra"
The assembled were informed of the occupation at the end of the main march.

The building is listed by the council and is one of its properties in the very heart of the city.
A Technical assembly held last night and this morning has voted to keep the space open as a "political occupation". This is a complicated affair for us and we need popular support to continue. We thus call on all in Barcelona to attend the space "against this war". Today sunday at 6pm there will be a debate "what is your war?" followed by video footage of mass mobilisations to date and at 10pm a General Assembly.

We call on all to support next Sundays concentrations in front of all council buildings in the Barcelona area by the "auturem la guerra" platform. And January 23rd Nunca Mais will assemble in Madrid.
