[energiadecreixent] The Barcelona acampada has moved - now they are taking the parliament

[Fun Peace]

Take the square > take the parliament

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. 


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 (catalan police, remember  them from M27 day of 
violence - http://www.indymedia.ie/article/99883) will arrive at about 7.30 to 
clear the way, but with perhaps a few thousand people, this could get messy.

Police in Barcelona move to stop "peaceful" budget protest
Security forces attempt to clear area around regional assembly ahead of 
Wednesday's vote

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.
