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.
Although media coverage has dwindled, Occupy cells are alive and well all over the United States – and beyond.
Occupy Wall Street was at the pinnacle of its power in October 2011, when thousands of people converged at Zuccotti Park and successfully foiled the plans of billionaire Mayor Michael Bloombergto sweep away the occupation on grounds of public health. From that vantage point, the Occupy movement appears to have tumbled off a cliff, having failed to organise anything like a general strike on May Day – despite months of rumblings of mass walkouts, blockades and shutdowns…………
“Compared to a year ago, the level of activity is amazing today. There is a whole new generation of high school and college students being radicalised.”
Others note that protests did take place in more than 110 cities on May Day in recognition of worker resistance and solidarity, no mean feat given the hostility to labour among the ruling elite i the US. Continue reading “Police and media send OCCUPY underground”

per (A) Berlin 1st May 2012 – 25 years of hope for a different life On the 1st of May in 1987 the district Kreuzberg in Berlin exploded because of rage against the state and the cops, who defend violently the capitalist system.
Since then there are every year demonstrations and clashes against the metropolis of the rich and oppressor, against Germany, war and fascism.
In the last 25 years these violent clashes have become a ritual. Sometimes the cops get the upper hand, but very often also we achieved to be out of control.
Street battles are risky at the 1st of May in Berlin, because the cops here are one of the most effective ones in Europe. But there is a big amount of stones everywhere.
To the 25th time this year´s 1st of May symbolises the hope of going one step further to the end of the ruling form of society.
Everybody has to come to Berlin – between 30th April and 2. May it´s getting hot!!!
Against state and capital, against the state of the murderous pigs!!!
