L’Audiència de Guadalajara ha rebutjat el recurs interposat per les habitants del poblat de Fraguas i ha confirmat la condemna contra les sis joves, que afirmen que no pagaran la demolició del poble, motiu pel qual la pena de presó podria ampliar-se fins a superar el llindar dels dos anys a partir del qual s’executa l’ordre privativa de llibertat tot i no tenir antecedents
Por otra parte, recordaba que en protesta de esa gestión política del medio rural y en defensa de proyectos como el de Fraguas se ha organizado una gran manifestación el próximo 23 de febrero en Madrid, que partirá a las doce del mediodía de la Plaza de Tirso de Molina.
El poble de Fraguas, desallotjat durant mig segle pel règim franquista, es va convertir el 2012 en la llar d’una dotzena de persones que van dedicar cinc anys a…
The Provincial Court confirms the sentence to the residents of Fraguas The six convicted youths say they will not pay for the demolition of the town, so the prison sentence could be extended to two years and three months.
The National Court of Guadalajara has rejected the appeal lodged by the inhabitants of the village of Fraguas and has confirmed the sentence of the six young people.
The village of Fraguas, one of hundreds evicted half a century ago by the Franco regime, became in 2012 home to a dozen people who spent five years rebuilding it.
A large demonstration in defense of Fraguas has been organized on 23 February in Madrid, which will depart at noon at Plaza de Tirso de Molina.
In May, six of the people who lived or worked in the reconstruction of the town were tried for crimes against the ordination of the territory and usurpation, accused by the Board of Communities of Castilla-La Mancha.
Last year the 1st Court of Guadalajara sentenced each of them to one year and six months in prison for ”crimes against the ordination of the territory”, in addition to the payment of a fine of 1,080 euros for the same crime and another one year fine -2,160 euros- for usurpation, in addition to the demolition payments.
Responding to a call for solidarity on January 26th and 27th with the ongoing struggle for freedom, women’s liberation, and autonomy in Rojava, people across the world took part in solidarity actions under the banner, #RiseUp4Rojava. Large solidarity actions took place in Greece, in London, and in many other cities and towns. Below is a roundup of actions that took place in the US and some international highlights.
January 27th also represents the four year anniversary of the revolutionary defeat of ISIS in Kobane. As Abolitionist Media Worldwidepointed out, anarchists and other autonomous antifascists have been active in these ongoing military engagements, both fighting within the YPG and the YPJ, but also in autonomous anarchist and international antifascist formations as well.
Many organizations and groups around the world followed the call of the Internationalist Commune of Rojava, to defend the revolution in Rojava. We want to share some of the events, that will happen in this global days of actions. More will come…

MidCat/STEP gas pipeline between France and Spain was just cancelled!
People power has won another victory against fossil fuels: the MidCat/STEP gas pipeline between France and Spain was just cancelled!
Yesterday the French and Spanish energy agencies announced that the pipeline, which was meant to link the two countries, was scrapped. The controversial fossil fuel project would have damaged communities and the environment, and was terrible news for the climate.
Yesterday the French and Spanish energy agencies announced that the pipeline, which was meant to link the two countries, was scrapped. The controversial fossil fuel project would have damaged communities and the environment, and was terrible news for the climate.
This is a HUGE win for the local communities in Catalonia and France, who have been campaigning and protesting for years.
Scrapping MidCat is also a victory for the climate movement across Europe and the world, and a painful blow to the fossil fuel industry – and their false claims that fossil gas can be a “transition fuel”. It throws into question other new gas infrastructure projects being pushed and financed by the European Union.
We urgently need an energy transition – to a system that is just, fair…
Any discussion on Venezuela is likely to end in fisticuffs. On one side we have the US and neoliberal forces conspiring together with a repressed middle class and the old ruling class in every conceivable way to destroy a state socialist revolution, which may be corrupt, inept and brutal but guarantees basic health, education, housing, food and a vision of social revolution to the great majority of people..
24 Jan, 2019 13:17 You could scour the bowels of US imperial crimes, from the Mexican-American War to the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, and you won’t find a more brazen cynical act of gangsterism than that which is now underway against Venezuela.
Not since Hitler justified blitzing Poland by claiming it had encroached on the frontier into Nazi Germany has a more blatant set of falsehoods been adduced as a pretext for conflict.
‘This Fight Is Ours’: Venezuela Women March Against Imperialism.
The have-nots, workers, unemployed, women, indigenous, blacks … still support the government.
In Venezuela, it will quickly become a civil war that will most likely draw in other countries from Cuba to Colombia and Brazil (as I previously predicted here) with incalculable consequences – not least for the world’s oil prices.
Discerning readers will already be aware that Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves and is a major producer – and the biggest seller to the American market.
This is not about Maduro, the former bus driver-turned-foreign minister who is now the elected president of Venezuela. If it were, I’d waste my time critiquing his period in office.
Here’s a heart-wrenching picture of babies in laundry-baskets, with the question, What kind of revolution is this? But the photo is from Honduras. see many more false images at…. Exposed: Tsunami of Blatant Lies by Western Media on Venezuela
It’s not about Maduro because the US had been seeking to overthrow his predecessor Hugo Chavez for more than a decade before this.
Even though Chavez was one of the most electorally successful politicians on the planet in a democratic process described by former US president Jimmy Carter as “the best in the world,” US presidents Bush, Obama and Trump routinely called him a dictator.
After 18 years of subversion, infiltration, coercion, bribery and a constant blitz of fake news the US is pushing Venezuela into a horrific civil war in order to take control of its oil.

Before they drop the bombs, they drop the narrative, of course. And the disinformation bombardment in Venezuela has been one of the longest bombing runs in history.
Massive sums of US money have been spent on media distortion, subversion, sabotage, military coups, and threats of invasion throughout the Chavez-Maduro era.
Is Maduro a dictator? By whose standards? Remember how we were fooled by the blitz of fake news into condemning Gaddafi, so they could destroy the best welfare state in Africa, leaving him raped and murdered in the street and the country in horrific chaos to this day. Remember the mega-lying witch hunt against Saddam..Why? To steal rights over their oil.
The gold-toothed Venezuelan emigres who fled to Miami with their ill-gotten gains have long been effectively a coup in the making.
The recruitment of neighboring Colombia into “associate membership” of NATO, the propeling of Brazil’s Bolsonaro (another NATO applicant) to power, and plans for US military bases there have all been in preparation for this day.
Although many such crimes have been committed across all continents for centuries by the US, none have constituted such comic-opera gangsterism as this latest – more ‘Bugsy Malone’ than ‘The Godfather.’
An almost random figure whose name was largely unknown until this week has disdained to put himself up for election as president of the republic, instead pronouncing himself to actually be the president, and has even sworn himself in!
All the “experts” on Syria, Ukraine and Russia are scrambling to studios, practicing in the taxi how to say his name.
And the “international community” recognizes Juan Guaido. This includes US, Canada and assorted American satrapies across the world. They will likely soon be joined by the so-called democratic European Union, NATO and almost certainly the UK.
It is a new form, to be sure – usually the hated Latin American presidents are dead, like Allende in Chile, or have fled or been jailed before the coup de grace is delivered.
But Trump is in a hurry.
As investigations come ever closer to the Trump syndicate, as the clock ticks towards impeachment or defeat in 2020, as the war-cell of Bolton and company screech for a victory, somewhere, anywhere, it has come to this.
It is a “Wag the Dog” war, and it’s coming to your screens soon – today in fact.
”The rich want lower taxes, and ending social programs for the have-nots, and they want the privatization of vital government enterprises so that they can loot the country, as is happening right now in Brazil. And most of all, they want the privatization of the oil in their hands. They want to be billionaire oligarchs just like oligarchs in other oil-rich countries”. The have-nots, workers, unemployed, women, indigenous, blacks … still support the government. They want the government to keep control of the oil for the benefit of the people, the have-nots. They are in the streets too, they are supporting the government, and they are being violently attacked by the hoodlums of the haves and the mercenaries for the U.S. Empire”.
