Police and bulldozers siege Irunea's 'Gaztetxe'

The 'Gaztetxe' Euskal Jai (derelict house, occupied and made into a self-substaining cultural centre run by the Basque youth ) in Irunea (Euskal Herria, The Basque Country), is being attacked by the police with the intention of demolishing it. Bulldozers are charging against the building putting the resisting people inside, who have chained themselves to the building, in great danger as the house may collapse at any moment. The Spanish seem to be learning from their Israeli counterparts!

There is a great resistance by Basque citizens despite the charge of the police. Fair play to this brave Basques who won't let the Imperialist dirty Spanish Government get away with their politics of opression!!!!
