This morning more buses have been arriving from all around Europe. 20 + 6 buses stopped yesterday are confirmed that could not go further then Perpinya.

The situation at the border is becoming more and more outrageous. This morning have been arriving more buses from all around Europe, as expected. 20 buses are confirmed that could not go further than Perpinya. We have to add the ones retained since yesterday. At this moment we can say that the french and spanish government are collaborating in order to block the entry to anybody coming from Europe and willing to attend the demonstrations in Barcelona. Although the police is making very difficult to the people to meet together in one city and get organized, they are organizing a demonstration in Perpinya to make pressure on the spanish and french govs. The situation may end chaotically, having in mind that 150 to 200 buses are expected to arrive.
