On Tuesday a series of marches from barrios and towns converged on the Catalan Parliament in Barcelona.
The now decentralised Take The Streets movement blocked all access to the city park where the Parliament is due to debete the social cuts ordered by central gov. and the IMF.
The brave blockaders continued all night with all gates sealed. On Wed morning however politicians did manage to enter, with heavy riot police escort. Some got sprayed with paint, other leaders entered by helicopter.
There were limited incidents, with a strong pacific majority, the police caused some injuries and arrests. The blockade continues with the debate now beginning.
Next big event the International Demo on Sunday 19th
