Barcelona maintain the pressure

Protest and anger about the Iraq led war and its implications for the world are leading a whole new movement in Barcelona.

The whole city of Barcelona fires a daily round of routine of actions against the Spanish government and the war. Peace camps, meetings, posters, leaflets and general solidarity can be found literally on every street and the feeling is usually solidified when autonomous groups banging pots and 2 minute silent candle lighting vigil every night at 10pm.

Every night pot banging can be heard in every house on every street corner and the whole city is united against the unnecessary war inflicted by US and UK led imperalism.
Images of missiles with a stop sign are to be found on badges, large posters can be found hanging off balconies and their is general anger against Aznar his cronies but there is also a call to stop George W Bush and PM Tony Blair in their imperalist campaign in the middle east.
On Thursday April 10 an autonomous action outside a main sqaure called Plaza de Catalunya in the capital city of Barcelona 200 or so people gathered.
People were cooking healthy hamburgers outside multinational Burger King, a host of ideas against imperalism and the US and UK led war in Iraq, cyclists with energy saving sound systems and street art.
There is a big demo on April 12 starting at PLaza de Espana at 6pm so expect more anger about the results of US occupation in Iraq or anywhere else in the world. Boycott all US and UK products.
love and solidarity
