            -’Hello Macker, are you okay? Hi Duna, you got him out!’-

Jerry and James appeared first, all smiles and poring over a portable. Standing too close to each other, just accidentally jostling, in that obviously affectionate way. View full article »

Not only to commemorate his birthday, but to denounce the problems that the May 15, 2011 led to the so-called ‘indignados’ camps in dozens of Spanish cities are still present today. As usual in this movement, its philosophy that the street is of citizens leads them to not communicate officially to the authorities these marches, which will continue throughout the month of May.

On May 15th 2011, millions of people started a process of social change, giving a clear and unmistakable signal that we are not merchandise in the hands of politicians and bankers, we have been publicly and massively expressing that the representative democracy is dying. The political class have not understood the message. Despite the growing protests and the outcry of upset people, these ruling classes are using this crisis to plunder the common wealth, risking the lives of people.12m15m View full article »

Because many people don’t know what  it means, A lot of people think that it’s the normal agriculture with nothing different and that you are crazy because in this time of crisis, catastrophes and war you think only about nature and having some lush vegetables in your garden…but permaculture or synergistic agriculture, as you prefer, is not only a method to work the soil and have lush and sane vegetables but it’s above all “taking care of people”.

The SAT re-Occupy the estate of the Turquillaslas turquillas ocupada


Some 500 trade unionists called out by the SAT agriculture Trade Union and the ‘Critical Block’ have occupied this morning the farm “The Turquillas”, owned by the Ministry of Defence. These lands could provide many jobs and alleviate social emergency that exists in the area …

The estate of 1,200 ha. is dedicated to horse breeding and  houses the Military Stud occupying only 20 ha. in a region with over 40% unemployment. These lands could provide many jobs and alleviate the social emergency that exists in the area. It is for this reason that the occupation of The Turquillas has become a historical demand since it has been occupied on numerous occasions.

However, it was last year when the occupation went from symbolic  to semi permanent lasting 18 days and the occupiers were preparing the land for tillage. After that eviction, the SAT announced tey would occupy the farm again with ‘ active nonviolence’. And today it happened.

Furthermore, in Seville city thousands of workers joined the demo of ‘critical block’ platform under the slogan “The fight is in the street”, which the SAT supports. The rally started from the Ministry of Social Welfare, where a new streets camp of nthe ‘Occupy’ 15M movem,ent was set up, and  ended at the  CSOA , Occupied Anarchist Social Center, “La Solea”.

In Lebrija a hundred trade unionists have turned up walking about 10 km. to the farm “Valdeojo”.

In Jaen 400 unionists have occupied the farm “La Rueda” but the part of the march was prevented by the police from entering.  In assembly has decided to leave the farm and come back tomorrow to occupy it again.

In Granada, between 1500 and 2000 people have attended the deminstration of Critical Block, which, besides the presence of the SAT, had the support of CGT, COBAS, USTEA, Stop Evictions Coordinator against the repression of Granada, and other city groups .

El SAT vuelve a ocupar la finca de Las Turquillas

Unos 500 sindicalistas convocados por el SAT y el ‘Bloque Crítico’ han ocupado esta mañana la Finca “Las Turquillas”, propiedad del Ministerio de Defensa. Esas tierras podrían dar muchos puestos de trabajo y aliviar la situación de emergencia social que se vive en la zona…

Unos 500 sindicalistas convocados por el SAT y el ‘Bloque Crítico’ han ocupado esta mañana la Finca “Las Turquillas”, propiedad del Ministerio de Defensa. La finca de 1.200 ha. está dedicada a la cría caballar y allí se aloja la Yeguada Militar que ocupa sólo 20 ha. en una comarca con más del 40% de desempleo. Esas tierras podrían dar muchos puestos de trabajo y aliviar la situación de emergencia social que se vive en la zona. Es por ello por lo que la ocupación de Las Turquillas se ha convertido en una demanda histórica puesto que ya se ha ocupado en numerosas ocasiones. Sin embargo, fue el año pasado cuando la ocupación pasó de simbólica a permanente y durante 18 días los sindicalistas estuvieron preparando los terrenos para labrar la tierra. Tras su desalojo, el SAT anunció que volvería a ocupar la finca desde la no violencia activa. Y hoy ha ocurrido.

tur1Además, en Sevilla capital miles de trabajadores y trabajadoras han acudido a la convocatoria del ‘bloque crítico’ y de la plataforma “La lucha está en la calle”, en las que participa el SAT. La manifestación partió de la Consejería de Bienestar Social donde se desarrollaba una acampada del 15M y concluía en el CSOA “La Soleá”.

En Lebrija un centenar de de sindicalistas se han dirigido en marcha recorriendo unos 10 km. hacia la finca “Valdeojo”.

En Jaén unos 400 sindicalistas han ocupado la finca “La Rueda” pero el dispositivo policial impidió que parte de la marcha pudiera entrar. En asamblea se ha decidido salir de la finca y volver mañana a ocuparla.

En Granada, entre 1500 y 2000 personas han secundando la manifestación del Bloque Crítico, que, además de con la presencia del SAT, contaba con el apoyo de CGT, COBAS, USTEA, Stop Desahucios, Coordinadora contra la represión de Granada, y otros colectivos de la ciudad.

translation  by The Free. From free paper ’20 Minutes’  and reprinted in ‘Rojo y Negro’ of the CGT union.

At least 1,200 Catalans manage themselves with their own ”money”, education and health , they do not use the euro but  ecos, a “free money” that can be exchanged for hours of work or products..cooperativa integral

They have organized a network of health care, education and access to housing, based on trust among  members.
They are expanding to the rest of the peninsula. in France and Italy similar experiences have been initiated.
They have a currency of its own, a self-managed health care system, an educational network and housing office. They are self-managed cooperatives and self-organization, groups of people living outside the system,  and make decisions in open assemblies based on trust organization. In Catalonia, there are already 1,200 citizens who have chosen this way of life and the implementation of these communities is spreading. The crisis and the 15M indignados movement has given it wings. View full article »

Update: The ruling PP and controlled media are accusing the anti eviction movementg PAH of belonging to ETA terrorist mileau and subject to anti terrorist laws

with 500 evictions a day activists stop outside houses of Politicians denying a popular law to stop them

with 500 evictions a day activists stop outside houses of Politicians denying a popular law to stop them

The PAH Anti Eviction Platform in the town of Salt has occupied a whole block of new empty flats owned  by Sareb, the newly created ‘bad bank’ set up to hold ‘toxic assets’ from bankrupt creditors. The association will transfer them to families who have been left homeless. 400,000 people have been evicted in the Spanish State due to the banks crisis and evictions are running at over 500 a day. The PAH forced parliament to debate an anti eviction law with a 1 million petition, but the majority PP are against. The EU has declared Spanish law in which you have to keep paying a mortgage after being evicted to be illegal.

The squatted block is a toxic asset. It is also the only speck of life in failed blocks and empty buildings and real estate in the mountain town of Salt (Gironès County, Catalonia). The Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) on Friday took the block of  brand new unused flats to distribute them free to families evicted . An illegal action  that has received the solidarity of neighbors and social entities. View full article »
