Demonstrations in Madrid and Barcelona

25.11.2007 17:20

Once again, around 2000 people took to the streets in Madrid to remember Carlos. A demonstration left the Lavapies barrio to march towards the underground station of Legazpi, where the antifastcist activist Carlos Palomino was murdered by a fascist two weeks ago.

Large numbers of riot police were present with a very provocative atitude right from the start. Police charged repeatedly the demonstration. People resisted the charges and managed to make it to the planned destination of the demonstration, where activists put a remembrance plaque in the building facing the tube station. The plaque reads: ""Here is where Carlos Javier Palomino was murdered on 11.11.2007 whilst fighting against racism and fascism. Carlos brother, we don't forget. The best homage, to continue the struggle".
