Foreign Secretary David Lammy set out "the future of the U.K.'s foreign policy" this week. It's an abysmal vision, says Dr. David McGrogan, but it gives hope that the edifice of 'progressive realism' will soon collapse.

Protest in solidarity with Valencia students - against police violence

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Friday February 24, 2012 09:57author by Camelin - RDNI Report this post to the editors

Who? Real Democracy Now! Ireland
What? Protest in Solidarity with the students in Valencia who where brutalized by police.
When? Saturday 25th February @ 3 pm
Where? Central Bank of Ireland, Dame Street, Dublin 2.

On Tuesday 14th a peaceful protest against budget cuts in education in Valencia, Spain ended in bloody police repression. Images conjured up memories of Franco’s brutal dictatorship. Squads of riot police violently assaulted a group of some 300 students (most of them minors) arresting at least 26 and leaving scores injured. The brutal repression of peaceful protesters by police forces is becoming an increasingly familiar scenario not only in Spain but in many other supposedly democratic countries in Europe. While markets dictate to governments and austerity is imposed driving people to mass unemployment and poverty, any attempt to voice dissent is met with violent repression by the state forces. While this may not yet be the case in Ireland the repression has been very visible in Greece and in Spain and has relevance in Ireland too as the voices of dissent gradually become louder.
We want to say that we stand in solidarity with the people of Valencia and that this type of violent repression by police will in the end only further reinvigorate our resistance.
Join us in this solidarity protest. We are outraged and we will not tolerate any violence from the police forces against the civilian population.
We stand or fall together. There is strength in unity.

AMERICAN EXPAT, I'm from Valencia and you have no idea what you are talking about.

FIRST, the first demonstration was carried out by school students because the local government is not paying the heating bills and they are without heating in schools right now, after wasting huge amounts of public money in organizing "big events", one of the main reasons why the Valencian Region was the first to be balied out by the central government.

SECOND, whoever was in the protest, it does not change the FACT that the police was extremely violent given that the only thing the students were doing was to block traffic in a single street.

THIRD, do not pretend to talk about facts when you are talking bullshit. It is not true at all that the demostration was orquestrated by the PSOE or the unions. That's stupid. Moreover, the figures about detainees you are mentioning come from information released by the local TV channel, which is completely biased. This week journalists of that channel themselves staged a protest against the way these events were being manipulated in the news programme:

Well Jose, if all those protestors were students, how do you explain that of all those arrested ONLY ONE was a student! As for me not knowing about the issues, I have lived here for over 23 years now and I follow the news everyday, including multiple channels of TV. The police have a right and obligation to react in the face of unauthorized protests that turn violent or impinging on the rights of other citizens.

"I follow the news everyday, including multiple channels of TV."
