All morning 1ooo’s and more 1000′ were gathering round the square. Now occupied by the ‘mossos’, Catalan riot police. But leaving intact one bit of the camp, isolated with about 200 people still demonstrating inside. This indicated the eviction was not to be total.
They would ONLY, steal or destroy most of the equipment, stalls, tents, etc (not the tree houses). ONLY controlling everything. Using the excuse to bring in cleaning lorries and clean the whole square, while the demonstrators pressed closer on all sides.
Finaly at 12.30 the convoy of cleaning lorries moved out, robbing all the equipment, and the police running behind, some firing rubber bullet guns
in the air.
The multitudes rushed back into the square,. We were all jumping for joy, and with more desire than ever to continue.
Tomorrow the Barça spectacle. the police have asked us to self-evict due to the danger of ‘incidents’, but no one is moving, at least until the Assembly on Sunday. The main ‘giant screen’ has been moved from the Plaza to Arc de Triomf. But right next to the Plaza Camp
IS the sacred place to celebrate Barça victories(Canaletes).
Sé que la plaza de Lleida fue también desalojado pero no que pasó al final.
