The Catalan general strike of 18-O, live blog in English .. updated with contrainfos Videos +MoscaTV

LIVE BLOG ENDS HERE FOR TONIGHT

The ‘Tsunami Democratic’ goes on with daily strikes, blockades and actions, but Friday was the biggest day, due to the 525,000 demonstrators (and that’s a conservarive police estimate). The rioting was spectacular, though relatively little damage was done, mainly burnt rubbish containers.

Finally the general feeling in a among CDR Defense Committee we spoke to was RAGE. ” The police attacked us viciously, we barricaded for self defense, after 2 years of pacifist bowing which has only empowered right wing and nazi sentiment.

Images of the riots by LaMosca TV whch is part of Contrainfos Latele.. see YouTube

Then the unanimous media and politicians blame us, in a continuous bleating chorus, more and more hate speech to stir racism and get votes, power and money in the imminent elections. We are despised and blamed, despite us suffering 590 injured attended by health services and 4 losing an eye to rubber bullets…” (fired by the Spanish police despite being illegal in Catalunya due to a long struggle).

…”It seems there’s no point in being pacific, if we get beaten up and then blamed for defending ourselves, Barcelona was OURS, for some hours, and we could have destroyed their pot of money–the banks, stores and luxury hotels, etc” ..

…”On the other hand we lived the biggest street resistance in memory, thousands of young people in the decentralised and assembly organised CDRs have been further radicalized and learned to work together in groups and bands, feeling the joy of rebellion, evicting infiltrators and nazis, protecting each other and avoiding arrest, facing and defying danger and repression together….”

4 manifestants han perdut la visió d’un ull en uns disturbis que sumen 590 persones ateses

The general strike of 18-O, live news. with rough English translation.. from La Directa, with thanks (including various twitter videos)

https://directa.cat/la-vaga-general-del-18-o-en-directe/

Catalonia today faces the fourth call for a general strike in just over two years related to the independence process. Summoned by the Intersyndical Union Forces – CSC and the Alternative Intersyndical of Catalonia (IAC) and although formally with a work and social demands sheet, the 2017 referendum ruling is clearly in the background of today’s mobilization. It will coincide with the arrival of Barcelona with the March for Freedom that brings tens of thousands of people to demand the freedom of male and female political prisoners

Catalunya enfronta avui la quarta convocatòria de vaga general en poc més de dos anys relacionades amb el procés independentista. Convocada per les forces sindicals Intersindical – CSC i la Intersindical Alternativa de Catalunya (IAC) i tot i que formalment amb un full de demandes de caràcter laboral i social, la sentència pel referèndum del 2017 és clarament al rerefons de la mobilització d’avui. Coincidirà amb l’arribada Barcelona amb les Marxes per la Llibertat que arrosseguen milers de persones per demanar la llibertat dels presos i les preses polítiques

“Here the rubber balls are prohibited. The Spanish police who come and rule, use them. We already have two people who have lost an eye and the third we are going to see”

In in in … wherever you peacefully protest by #SentenciaDelProces, the Police shut up people violently.
