Placard-waving protestors plastered the Consulate with flyers, delivered a letter to the Consulate-General and distributed leaflets denouncing the attempted eviction of the self-managed community centre.
"For 14 years LA KASA DE LA MUNTANYA has been a community, cultural and social centre run on principles of self-organisation and self-regulation. Despite the fact that there is clear evidence that the Spanish government has obtained ownership of the building illegally and has no plans for its use, an eviction has been scheduled for 2nd October," declared flyers distributed by the dozen demonstrators.

Mumbai Resistance 2004 - Against Imperialist Globalisation
19-09-2003 17:20
Dear Friends,I am sending you the Initiators letter/doc for the
Mumbai Resistance 2004 - Against Imperialist Globalisation
and War through which we are proposing alongwith other Initiators
a parallel programme to the WSF forum in Mumbai in January 2004.
This is also a letter of inviation for you to become part of this
international event.
Alongwith this is a letter of invitation for the formation
of a Reception Committee for bringing together all
democrats who will associate with the the concerns
of MR 2004.
I request you to go through these two write-ups and let
us know your response regarding your participation in
the programme which is a step towards building a concrete
anti-imperialist movement instead of the misleading festivals of WSF.
All genuine anti-imperialists need to come together to
counter the forces which are trying to find a human face
for the aggressive agenda of imperialism.
Yours in Struggle,
G N Saibaba
General Secretary
All India Peoples Resistance Forum (AIPRF)

Eviction for the coming 2nd of October..Since last July 11 when we were notified of the eviction date for the coming 2 october, it's been all go at the Kasa de la Muntanya. It's been a hard summer. The heat got us down as much as the threat or more, but the need to get the defence of the house off the ground was stronger than the summer torpor.
