After The Tenerife Demonstration

When the head of the march arrived at the Presidency of the Government its tail had still not reached the García Sanabria Park.
poca cosa ;-)
A gigantic multicoloured serpent occupied several kilometres of the streets of Santa Cruz, from the Plaza de la Paz (Peace Square) to the seat of the presidency of the Government where this unprecedented and gigantic march concluded.
The last of the mass media that had not yet declared itself clearly in favour of the Crime of Granadilla editorialised the day of the demonstration - although without recourse to insults as employed by others - in favour of the interests of the speculators. This is why nobody expected such a powerful social reaction, so good-humoured, so peaceful and so exemplary. The Presidency of the Government released an official comuniqué that included the numbers: 13,000 people that at some stage became 20,000; in this official statement it was mentioned that these calculations had been arrived at by counting people from a small plane that flew over the demonstration, paid for, like the campaign against the demonstration, with money contributed by all taxpayers. And it is the case that the Pirates of Cement and the rogues and scoundrels that govern us are not going to limit any expense or any means in order to silence those who beg to differ, but what people know clearly is what they saw with their own eyes this Saturday in Santa Cruz. Such are our politicians, to this they are dedicated, and such is the press, radio and television we have paid for through our own labour.
So now is the time for us to become even more united, to work yet more forcefully to denounce to the world the undemocratic and manipulated situation in which we find ourselves, with a press that only looks after those who in one way or another manage it, but always paid for by plundering the people, through taxes also paid by those 100,000 citizens who today raised the cry, in spite of everything, an energetic and resounding: ¡Enough's Enough! - ¡Ya Está Bien!
Congratulations to all the individuals and collectives that have painstakingly and elegantly, employing their own resources, resisted the powerful media, political and business campaign that has been unleashed against this peaceful, democratic and exemplary protest.
