The Mossos d’Esquadra ( Catalan police controlled from Madrid) have arrested three men as alleged perpetrators of the placement of seven homemade explosive devices at banking institutions and commercial establishments in Barcelona.
The events took place between July 2022 and June of 2023 in the Eixample and Sant Martí districts of Barcelona.
The actions took place in the early morning and two people usually participated: one who placed the artifact and the other who watched. Although there were no casualties, material damage amounted to nearly €80,000.
The Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) has decreed provisional imprisonment, communicated and without bail for one of the three arrested. The 29th District Court of Barcelona charges him with crimes of vandalism, damage, possession of explosives and against public health.
The other two detainees are free and at the disposal of the court.
The Mossos are investigating several attacks with explosives on ATMs in Barcelona Similar attacks against a phone booth and an old bank office are also being investigated
The detainees are accused of participating in crimes of vandalism, damage and possession of weapons and explosives and against public health. Apart from the three arrested, the police are also investigating a woman.
The arrests were made on October 5 and the three men were brought before the court the following day. In parallel, three entries and searches were also made, in which chemical products and other items intended for the manufacture of explosives were found. The police investigation remains open.”

Las protestas estropean la fiesta de los fondos buitres en Barcelona

Barcelona :: 16/10/2023
. Els fets van passar entre el juliol del 2022 i el juny d’aquest any als districtes de l’Eixample i Sant Martí. Les accions es feien de matinada i normalment hi participaven dues persones: una que col·locava l’artefacte i l’altra que vigilava. Tot i que no va haver-hi danys víctimes, els danys materials ascendeixen a prop de 80.000 €.
El Tribunal Superior de Justícia de Catalunya (TSJC) ha decretat presó provisional, comunicada i sense fiança per a un dels tres detinguts. El jutjat d’instrucció 29 de Barcelona li atribueix delictes d’estralls, danys, tinença d’explosius i contra la salut pública. Els altres dos detinguts estan en llibertat i a disposició judicial.
Els Mossos investiguen diversos atacs amb explosius a caixers de BarcelonaTambé s’investiguen atacs similars contra una cabina telefònica i una antiga oficina bancària
Als detinguts se’ls acusa de participar en delictes d’estralls, danys i tinença d’armes i explosius i contra la salut pública. A banda dels tres arrestats, la policia també investiga una dona.
Els Mossos apunten que darrere de les explosions hi pot haver un rerefons ideològic emmarcat en l’anarquisme violent. Segons la policia, el “modus operandi” concorda amb la vessant combativa d’aquest corrent ideològic, que normalment utilitza artefactes explosius o incendiaris contra el que consideren símbols del sistema capitalista.
Les detencions es van fer el 5 d’octubre i els tres homes van passar a disposició judicial l’endemà. En paral·lel, també es van fer tres entrades i escorcolls, en què es van intervenir productes químics i altres elements destinats a la fabricació d’explosius. La investigació policial continua oberta.

A man lives in a society where citizens police each other with their mobile phones. | Utopia

Jack has just come back to his homeland of Australia after over a decade away in paradise. But after being met at the airport by his brother Frank, Jack discovers that the country has radically changed.
Jack is in disbelief as he arrives at Frank’s home with his wife Margaret, and he can’t even believe that swearing is fined and alcohol is banned.
There are cameras everywhere, and the only safe place in people’s homes is the bathroom.
Unable to adapt or accept the changes, Jack attempts to leave the country — a much harder feat to accomplish than he thought.
Written and directed by Kosta Nikas, this sci-fi short may be named after an ideal paradise of balance and peace, but its title is deeply satirical in how the film portrays the absurdity of the new surveillance state.
It constructs a fascinating world that seems only a few steps removed from our phone-saturated society, telling its cautionary tale in an ironically jaunty way.
The writing takes time in its world-building, which is often one of the pleasures of the sci-fi genre.
The narrative action at the beginning catalogs the myriad ways that control and order are exerted over people, and there’s dour, wry humor embedded in how Frank escorts his increasingly skeptical brother through this brave new world.
The bright sunniness of the cinematography and the percolating, cheerful musical score that peppers itself throughout the film also add touches of stylish buoyancy to what is an increasingly dark story.
The aesthetic approach offers a counterpoint to the often horrifying reality shown on screen, in which citizens are incentivized to document one another’s offenses through their omnipresent phones.
It takes some time for the dramatic conflict to emerge, but the world-building is fascinating enough to carry interest through, and is substantial and detailed enough to power an entire series or feature.
By the time Jack finally decides that he must escape, the building blocks of the world and story have been carefully laid into place, forming a chain of obstacles that make it harder for him to leave.
He seems trapped indefinitely, but then he gets an unexpected chance — though one that comes at considerable cost.
That cost, however, doesn’t seem so bad by the time we conclude “Utopia,” which we realize is anything but. Its sense of horror derives not from perversity or violence, but from how the world that the film constructs is only a few clicks from our current reality.
Practically everyone has a smartphone, and the devices are deeply integrated with almost all aspects of our lives, from banking to romance to communication to entertainment.
At many levels, we’re still reckoning with how mobile technology is transforming our lives and our relationships.
A population armed with phones — and imbued with increasingly knee-jerk punitiveness towards fellow humans — seems ludicrous, but with deeper reflection, viewers realize those pieces are already in place in other aspects of our culture.
Are human beings so weak that they could be weaponized to do a government’s surveillance for them? “Utopia” imagines that day isn’t as far as one would think.
