‘I won`t pay, anti toll campaign

La segunda protesta contra el precio de los peajes termina con 3.087 denuncias en Catalunya

The second protest against the price of tolls ends with 3,087 complaints in Catalunya

Thousands of drivers have supported the protest against the price of tolls. The initiative, promoted by groups # novullpagar and I do not pay, was seconded in Catalonia, Valencia and Madrid Country.
Miles de conductores han secundado la protesta contra el precio de los peajes. La iniciativa, promovida por los colectivos #novullpagar y Yo no pago, fue secundada en Catalunya, País Valencià y Madrid.
For the group # novullpagar (I do not pay) that of “second parts are never good” has not been fulfilled. Today, thousands of drivers have supported the protest against the price of tolls, which was to go through them without paying a single euro on the grounds that the roads used to transport enough already retired.
Para el colectivo #novullpagar (No quiero pagar) aquello de “segundas partes nunca fueron buenas” no se ha cumplido. Hoy, miles de conductores han secundado la protesta contra el precio de los peajes, que consistía en pasar por ellos sin pagar ni un sólo euro por considerar que las autopistas por las que circulan ya están suficientemente amortizadas .
The call was announced, with the cooperation of the platform I do not pay-to encourage those who circulate through Spanish roads, but although there were also withheld in the Valencian Country and Madrid, Catalonia where he was more successful.

Thus, there have been major bottlenecks tolls Vilassar de Mar, where the retention of vehicles came to occupy four miles, and Martorell (Barcelona). Although, according to Efe said the organizers, there were also boycott against South tolls Girona, Mollet and Garraf, which showed “little retention and collapse, despite the orders of the concessionaire Abertis to pass quickly to the people.”

La convocatoria estaba anunciada -gracias a la colaboración de la plataforma Yo no pago- para animar a todos aquellos que circularan por carreteras españolas pero,

Jumping the Toll Gate

aunque también se produjeron retenciones en el País Valencià y Madrid, fue en Catalunya donde tuvo más éxito.

Así, se han producido importantes atascos en los peajes de Vilassar de Mar -donde la retención de vehículos llegó a ocupar seis kilómetros–  y Martorell (Barcelona) . Aunque, según indicaron los convocantes a Efe, también hubo boicot contra los peajes en Girona Sur, Mollet y Garraf, que registraron “pequeñas retenciones y colapsos, pese a las ordenes de la concesionaria Abertis de dejar pasar rápidamente a la gente”.
In the end, according to Abertis, the day ended with 3,087 complaints for nonpayment. “Offenders” shall pay a fine of 100 euros, plus the possible administrative penalty the company to claim back the amount not paid.

However, of the 16,000 complaints of default which, until last Thursday, had received the Catalan Traffic Service toll dealerships, only 1,291 have been processed. Still, the platform # novullpagar asked the government “to stop debt collection agencies make Abertis” and “not to pursue or threaten citizens attached to the campaign.”

Although, as that service, monitoring the protest was much lower (almost 50% less) than last May 1, the platform convenor disagrees. “The Catalan people have answered again representing abuse tolls in Catalonia”, sentenced.

Al final, según datos de Abertis, la jornada terminó con 3.087 denuncias por impago. Los “infractores” deberán pagar una multa de 100 euros, además de la posible sanción administrativa que la compañía reclamará para que devuelvan el importe no pagado.

No obstante, de las 16.000 denuncias por impago que, hasta el jueves pasado, había recibido el Servicio Catalán de Tráfico de las concesionarias de peajes, sólo se han tramitado 1.291. Aun así, la plataforma #novullpagar pidió al Gobierno “que deje de hacer de cobrador del frac de Abertis” y “que no persiga ni amenace a los ciudadanos adheridos a la campaña”.

Aunque, según dicho Servicio, el seguimiento de la protesta fue mucho menor (casi un 50% menos) que la del pasado 1 de mayo, la plataforma convocante discrepa. “El

1000’s jumping toll gates in Catalunya

pueblo catalán ha respondido de nuevo contra el abuso que representan los peajes en Catalunya”, sentenciaron.

“Thousands of vehicles have collapsed at 12:00 pm the main tolls and the wave of demonstrations to 18:00 h was even more crowded,” they said.

Another objective of the group is calling on all political parties to support the abolition of tolls Act introduced in Parliament by Catalan Solidarity per Independence.

After the good response to the mobilization of 12:00, organizers have said # novullpagar have signed up another goal in the second protest of the day, convened at 18:00, qualifying for success.

After the day, the Platform # novullpagar Prou Peatges feel entitled to urge the Govern in their demands and ask him to stop “threatening” to citizens who choose not to pay tolls.

“Miles de vehículos han colapsado hacia las 12:00h los principales peajes y la oleada de movilizaciones de las 18:00h ha sido aún más multitudinaria”, aseguraron.

Otro de los objetivos del colectivo es pedir a todos los partidos políticos que apoyen la Ley de supresión de peajes presentada en el Parlament por Solidaritat Catalana per la Indepèndencia.


Después de la buena acogida de la movilización de las 12:00, los organizadores de #novullpagar han afirmado haberse apuntado un nuevo tanto en la segunda protesta del día, convocada a las 18:00, que califican de éxito.

Tras la jornada, la Plataforma #novullpagar Prou Peatges se siente legitimada para insistir ante el Govern en sus reivindicaciones y pedirle que deje de “amenazar” a los ciudadanos que optan por no pagar los peajes.

The property in question is located across the street from San Vicente de Paul, is new construction and owned by Caixa Catalunya Bank.

De momento se desconoce si la policía enviará refuerzos para desalojar el bloque. Las personas que han participado en la acción, en que también se ha leído un manifiesto, han cortado la calle para protestar por la situación de desamparo en que se encuentran muchas de las familias que han perdido su casa o están en peligro de perderla como consecuencia de la crisis económica.

As reported by a witness of events, three cars of the Catalan police have witnessed the occupation, but have failed to intervene to prevent it. It was unclear if the police sent reinforcements to dislodge the block. People who have participated in the action, which also have read a manifesto, have cut the street to protest the lack of protection that are many families who have lost their homes or are in jeopardy as a result of the economic crisis.

Québec: “we didn’t know it was impossible, so we did it!”

by Malav Kanuga on May 28, 2012

Post image for Québec: “we didn’t know it was impossible, so we did it!”Over the past 3,5 months, a student strike against tuition hikes in Québec has evolved into one of the biggest anti-capitalist movements in North America.

Originally published by Occupy Theory

Origins of an unlimited general strike (“grève générale illimitée”)

Students in Quebec marked their hundredth day of an unlimited general strike on Tuesday, 22 May, the culmination of the most stunning mass protest movement of recent months and North America’s largest student movement in years. In fact, the mobilizations in Quebec might just be Canada’s Arab Spring.

Red Square Revolt | Quebec Students on Strike from nate on Vimeo.

Students have been organizing against tuition hikes for nearly one and a half years, when the Quebec government first proposed to raise tuition fees by seventy-five percent over five years (amended to eighty-two percent over seven years by the government at the end of April). Before the general strike began in February, protests, demos, trainings, letter writing campaigns, and attempts to negotiate in good faith with the government were consistently met with obstinate silence from the Charest administration. For the students there has been a growing sense of urgency and a shared recognition that increased tuition means a heavier student debt burden, hundreds of more hours a year spent working instead of studying, less access for working class and lower class students, and a shift in university culture toward the market, the commodification of education, the financialization of student life, and the privatization of the university…….  READ MUCH MORE………….

Brazil port blocked over Amazon law /Veto parcial mantém florestas sob risco

Greenpeace temporarily blocked a freighter from being loaded at a northern Brazilian port in protest over a partial presidential veto of a land-use bill seen as harming the Amazon

The environmental group said on its website on Saturday that activists ferried by its Rainbow Warrior vessel occupied a giant pile of pig iron on the dock while another team scaled two cranes to stop them from loading the raw material of iron and steel onto the US-bound Clipper Hope.

The activists then unfurled banners proclaiming “Amazon Crime” and “Dilma’s dirty secret,” in protest at President Dilma Rousseff’s partial veto Friday of 12 controversial articles of the new code regulating the use of land on rural properties.

“The Amazon turns to Charcoal, Brazil Stop the Chainsaw,” said a huge banner tied to a crane by the activists. Continue reading “Brazil port blocked over Amazon law /Veto parcial mantém florestas sob risco”
