<br>
1,500 are presently occupying the space outside the Catalan Parliament
in Barcelona at present. The gates were closed all day and inside are
loads and loads of riot cops. Today was called for a day of direct
action, to gather in the park and to camp out, a moving acampadaBCN, so
that tomorrow morning the politicians would not be able to enter the
parliament in Ciutadella park to vote on and pass the OMNIBUS bill,
which is more general cuts especially in health. <br>
<br>
So as it stands at present, it looks like 100's or 1000's will camp out.
The second call out is for people to arrive at 6.30 in the morning to
prepare to blockade the park from the outside, thereby not allowing the
politicians in. It is expected that the Mossos <span style="font-style: italic;">(catalan police, remember
them from M27 day of violence - </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.indymedia.ie/article/99883" title="http://www.indymedia.ie/article/99883">http://www.indymedia.ie/article/99883</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> )</span> will arrive at about 7.30 to clear the way, but with perhaps a few thousand people, this could get messy. <br>

</p><blockquote> The permanent camps across Spain set up by the May 15
Movement may have been largely dismantled, but the campaign has taken on
a more fluid motion in Barcelona, where on Tuesday evening hundreds of
people tried to converge on the Catalan regional assembly with the aim
of derailing Wednesday's scheduled debate on the Generalitat's budget.<br>
<br>
Police shut down access to the area around the city's Ciutadella Park on
Tuesday evening, denying access to the protestors, who had convened
despite the regional interior department ordering its closure on Monday.<br>
<br>
The organizers informed protestors through social network sites that at
least 14 marches originating in the city would meet up in the park. They
had planned to spend the night outside the parliament building and at
7am on Wednesday morning form a "human cordon" to prevent members from
entering, which is a crime under article 494 of the Penal Code. "But
they have never applied this article," one of the spokespeople for the
movement said, adding that the protest would be "peaceful, massive and
determined." Camping in the city is also prohibited under municipal
bylaws. "Not everything legal is fair and not everything fair is legal,"
say the protestors.<br>
<br>
The leader of the Popular Party in Barcelona, Alberto Fernández Díaz,
said it was time to dislodge the "remaining anti-system protestors from
Plaça Catalunya and reclaim the square for the city." </blockquote><br></div></body></html>
