Against war and repression
As the bombs fall over iraqui cities and the number of people dead in this war mounts the "war on civil liberties" goes on in Spain where peaceful demonstrators have been repeatedly beaten. (over 180 were wounded in peaceful demos)Against this unacceptable behaviour and the Fascit government of Spain support of war we will picket the Spanish embassy for as long as it takes...NO A LA GUERRA NI A LA REPRESION POLICIAL!

I fought against the dictatorship during the last years of Franco in Spain. The video on the link reminds me of those times where you could be arrested just for singing an anti regime song or for having long hair. But then, Aznar the president of Spain, inherited the party PP. from Fraga Iribarne...and if i'm not wrong Fraga was responsible for more than one execution during the dictatorship of Franco.( i'm NOT TOO SURE OF THIS...CORRECT IF I'M WRONG) Now they are best buddies with imperialist Blair and Bush's regimes...Birds of a feather....flock toghether.
We must keep fighting them, oppossing their plans, disobeying them, finding every possible way to get in their way... Every blow to a demonstrator, to a civilian in Irak, Afghanistan or wherever they decide to impose their domination is a blow to ethe heart of those who believe in freedom.Like the Zapatistas say they try to make us think that those who have weapons have also reason. Just keep believing in the power of the people. Fuera fascistas!YA BASTA!

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Woops! the video link i published does not work. If you want to see it go to Indymedia main page and look under Police repression of Anti War Protests and then to: Spain, 130 protesters were injured.
um no-one was at the picket
mail me next time its actually going to happen
HI PAUL! ACTUALLY THERE WAS TWO OF US AT THE PICKET. WE WENT AROUND TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE EMBASSY TO TRY AND FIND SOMEBODY ELSE. ILL SEND U AN EMAIL. I THINK SPANISH PEOPLE ARE CALLIN A GENERAL STRIKE FOR THE 10TH OF APRIL AND IT WOULD BE AHNDY TO ORGANISE BETTER FOR THAT DATE. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT MIDDAY IS A BIT DIFFICULT FOR SOME, HOWEVER I CAME FROM GALWAY SO I THINK WE CAN HAVE A BIT MORE WILL NEXT TIME.
HOPE TO MEET YOU. CHELO
You... pacifists who claim the peace and lift the voice in opposition to the war, you are dressing yourself with suits slightly amicablly... you feed demonstrations which commit an outrage against the public order, you burn headquarters of political parties, you insult citizens whose sin only was that in some moment of their lifes were affiliated to a party in which they believed, you break shop windows, you burn everything... and you frighten the workers of the embassies where you provoke unfriendly pickets... From your mouths emanates "yes to the peace" and from your facts "we feed our own war".
"Modern pacifists", learn of whom thinks freely and doesn't limit my freedom, and swallow the ire that moves you. Meanwhile, I will get up for the defense of the human rights, for all the human beings.
IN SPANISH:
Vosotros... pacifistas que abanderais la paz y alzáis la voz en contra de la guerra, os estáis vistiendo con trajes poco amigables... alimentáis manifestaciones que atentan contra el orden público, quemáis sedes de partidos políticos, insultáis indiscriminadamente a ciudadanos cuyo único pecado fue que en algún momento de su vida se afiliaron a un partido en el que creían, rompéis escaparates, quemáis todo... y atemorizáis a los trabajadores de las embajadas donde provocáis piquetes poco pacíficos... De vuestras bocas emana "sí a la paz" y de vuestros hechos "alimentemos nuestra propia guerra".
"Pacifistas modernos", aprended de quien piensa y opina libremente sin coartar mi libertad, y tragaos la ira que os mueve. Mientras tanto, yo me levantaré por la defensa de los derechos humanos, de todos los seres humanos.
En espanyol e ingles: rigid constipated fucker:
fuck off!!
rigido, estrenyido cabron: vete a la mierda!
