Saturday Carnival landmark occupation. Saturday 1 March 2003 Number 2 Placa del Pi. Barcelona a council property has been occupied against the war during a Carnival against the War. The first "espai alliberat contra la guerra" was the Council ex"hacienda" building occupied on Feb 15 during the mass mobilisation. That occupation was withdrawn to metaphysical space on Feb 17th. The occupation has returned to Ajuntamient space as pof yesterday´s "carnival against the war". Barcelona activists have selected "number two place of Pi" as the next "open space liberated against the war". The council has been proprieter of the Plaza Pi site for 80 years. if you go to the link you will see a photo of the first Council property occupied in this ongoing series of Civil Disobedience Direct Action Pacifism and a little bit of trippyhippyanarko okupe -ism. There is also a manifesto page against the war. =We hope this idea spreads. http://www.sindominio.net/espaicontralaguerra/ http://www.sindominio.net/espaicontralaguerra/manifest.html (I shall see to a translation) |
