50.000 rodean el parlamento griego #greekrevolution

A última hora de la tarde de este martes 50.000 personas han rodeado el parlamento griego en la plaza Sintagma de Atenas y retienen en su interior a los parlamentarios.

Los hechos se pueden ver en directo, aunque si quieres conocer la noticia en sí, te dejo este enlace que está en griego y su traducción al español. Parece que los diputados han conseguido romper el cerco.

Es una acción más de la #greekrevolution. Llevan acampados más de una semana en la plaza a imitación de la #spanishrevolution y nuestras acampadas.

Piden lo mismo que nosotros: Que los chorizos vayan al trullo, que los políticos no secuestren la democracia, que el Gobierno no venda a los ciudadanos como esclavos a las multinacionales, a los bancos y a las grandes corporaciones y, en definitiva, poder vivir en libertad y en una verdadera democracia.

Curiosamente el hecho de que 50.000 personas en Atenas hayan tomado el parlamento y mantengan encerrados en su interior a los parlamentarios, no es noticia para los medios españoles. Tampoco hay que cargar las tintas contra ellos. Ni Belén Esteban ni José Mourinho están en la plaza.

Aquí te dejo el enlace para que puedas seguir en directo los acontecimientos:

take the streets/Amsterdam./Grupos de Acción/Action Groups

                                                                   (IN ENGLISH BELOW)

Hola a tod@s!!!  Ayer lunes 30 de mayo, parte del grupo de acción nos reunimos y, junto
con otra gente presente en la plaza, proponemos hacer la acción
llamada “EXPRESIÓN” el próximo miércoles 1 de junio. La idea es que
todo el que quiera participe (no sólo el grupo de acción). Nos
reuniremos el miércoles 1 de junio a las 20:00 h en la plaza Dam y con
la gente que participe en la acción decidiremos cómo vamos a
desarrollar especificamente la acción.

Descripción de la acción:
– Expresión: se trata de un grupo de personas en fila (una al lado de
la otra aunque también se puede hacer de manera diferente siempre que
todas las personas participando sean visibles por el público) con la
boca tapada con esparadrapo (en línea recta o en forma de cruz)
simbolizando la opresión del sistema. Después de unos minutos y cuando
el grupo haya llamado la atención del público (simplemente por estar
quietos con el esparadrapo en la boca) uno a uno cada persona del
grupo se quita el esparadrapo y grita una palabra o reivindicación
(por ejemplo: solidaridad, libertad, etc) simbolizando que estamos
preparados para alzar nuestra voz.

El material necesario (esparadrapo ancho) será proporcionado por el
grupo de acción.

VEN A LA PLAZA Y PARTICIPA!!!!!

Grupo de trabajo de ACCIÓN

Yesterday 30th May, part of the ACTION workgroup met, and together
with other people in the square, we propose to do the action called “EXPRESSION” next
Wednesday 1st June. The idea is that everyone (who
wishes to) participates, not only the action group. We will meet next
Wednesday 1st June at 20:00 h in the Dam and with the people who wants
to participate we will decide the exact form of the action.

– Expression: it consists on a group of people in line (one next to
each other although other configurations are also possible if all the
people of the group is visible by the public) with the mouth covered
by tape or plaster (in a horizontal line or as a cross) symbolizing
the system oppression. After a few minutes and when the group has
reached the public attention (just by standing still with the tape
covering their mouths), one by one, each person in the group removes
his/her tape and shouts loud a word or demand (for example:
solidarity, freedom) symbolizing that we are ready to rise our voice.

The material needed (tape or plaster) will be provided by the action
workgroup.

COME TO THE SQUARE AND PARTICIPATE!!!

Ireland: Workers Solidarity #121 now online

After a quiet start to the year, political activity for the WSM picked up on a number of fronts in March and April. We were involved (as part of the 1% Network) in organising street theatre at the Central Bank in Dublin, aiming to highlight the fact that, no matter who is government, the same wealthy elite is still in power (see http://www.wsm.ie/c/kenny-gilmore-puppets-string-wealthy).

Also in Dublin, we supported pickets at the “Courts of Justice” in support of Gerard McDonnell, who is facing charges in relation to a “floating picket” carried out during the protracted strike at MTL in Dublin docks in 2009 (see http://www.wsm.ie/c/protest-courts-justice-mtl-striker). Our members attended the Feminist Walking Tour, organised by Choice Ireland, on International Womens Day (http://www.wsm.ie/c/dub-feminist-walking-tour-2011). We were also present at the Dail protest following the garda rape threat to female Shell to Sea activists in Mayo.

Down South, our Cork branch remains busy running a series of activities in our “Solidarity Books” venue. As well as film nights, board game evenings and the weekly vegan café, they are hosting “Spring Talks” fortnightly through April and May covering topics such as child welfare and class, the role of women in farmers rights, abortion in Ireland and Cork Labour in the 1916 – 1922 period. Check out the Solidarity Books facebook page for more details. Elsewhere, our members were involved in organising activities for International Womens Day, including a meal, films and talks held in Douglas St. The branch continues its involvement in Cork United Against the Cuts’ and Social Welfare Defenders’ attempts to resist austerity measures.

Outside the urban centres, protests continued in Mayo against Shells recommencement of work following the signing of the foreshore licences required by Pat Carey in the dying days of the last government. The WSM has had a presence there during two weekends of Shell to Sea (http://www.shelltosea.com/) actions carried out against Shell during April. There is a comprehensive resource of articles at http://www.wsm.ie/rossport examining all aspects of the struggle.

As per the article elsewhere in this issue, we are now busy preparing for the 2011 Anarchist Bookfair. Hopefully, the range of talks and the sharing of experiences of anarchists from outside Ireland will prove the catalyst for renewed efforts by us to both promote the anarchist message and get involved in the struggles that lie ahead. If you would like to share in this, please get in touch!

take the streets/Syria.Massacre as amnesty declared

 The announcement comes amid ongoing protests and clashes

As tanks move on two more towns the ruling family publishes announces more cynical lies

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has issued a decree granting a general amnesty, state media say.

The amnesty would cover political opposition movements, including the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, the reports said.

President Assad has faced months of protests against his rule.

Authorities have cracked down on demonstrators, killing more than 1,000 people and arresting at least 10,000 more, according to human rights groups.

take the streets.Valencia demo vs. Paris Bastille eviction

Valencia (iberia) demo against eviction of the Paris Bastille camp

 

 

By now there camps all over Spain, with a rapid decentralisation to smaller camps and Barrio assemblies. The movement in Valencia for example is inspiring and  hyper active, I see lots of videos here of the various demonstrations.( Personally I hope they will grow out of their slightly obsessive pacifism!)

take the streets.Camp survives Barca celebrations

Pl Catalunya Barcelona camp..Sunday calm after yesterday’s examination of chaos! ..
We were having difficult times from 2:30 pm, but people were concienciada within the square and everyone stood or sat in rows 6 deep(but obviously not eager to really prevent entry ) and it worked. The police for their part in some of his charges were about to enter the square, but were contained. The tranquility began arriving at 6:30 in the morning when the last van left.  (googletranslate)

#spanishrevolution. proliferan las Asambleas de Barrio

Asamblea de barrios – Plaza del Carmen
Desde Sol ya podemos confirmar la afluencia masiva a las Asambleas de Barrio programadas para hoy a las 12,00 en distintas localizaciones por toda la ciudad de Madrid y localidades colindantes.

Los primeros datos que hemos recibido en Acampada Sol de los portavoces de cada Asamblea, apuntan a que millares de personas se han movilizado este mediodía para hacer oír su voz y voto en los barrios.

La convocatoria que, en principio, ha reunido a barrios y ciudades de todo Madrid, también se ha extendido por diferentes poblaciones en todo el territorio español. Un primer contacto con los portavoces muestra que en los barrios de Aluche y Carabanchel, y en las localidades de Alcorcón y Leganés, la participación ha sido de
entre 500 y 1.500 personas.

En otras ciudades está pasando lo mismo, en Barcelona habían al menos una dozena de plazas tomadas para hacer Asambleas de barrio.
