Sunday June 23, 2002 15:00 by hs - socialist party
On the same day as the general strike that rocked Spain, Portuguese workers took to the streets all over the country saying, "No to attacks on our class". Spain: "The demonstrations yesterday were massive. Estimations say there were 200,000 in Seville. In Barcelona it was been between 500,000 and 600,000 and in Madrid there were another 500,000! In the whole country there were 3 million people on the streets. In a lot of cities these were the biggest demonstrations since the fall of the Franco dictatorship in the 1970's! for full articles go to : http://www.worldsocialist-cwi.org/

Jump To Comment: 1Sorry to dampen the revolutionary spirit,
but I was in both Barcelona and Seveille.
Barcelona was a nice, very civilised union march,
not big numbers(80,000)
the press reported 100,000 thou in Seveille and maybe that was over the top.
I was in Seville last night, the march was well organised and had no confrontational objective.
Numbers were low- maybe forty to sixty thou.
the black bloc(despite reports of some New kids on the black bloc)were quiet.
The blue block were the best organised I´ve seen.
low numbers non-confrontational attitude.
They were mainly only seen outside a couple of banks and petrol stations along the route of the anti capitalism march.( makes sense if you think about it)
They stayed out of the way and seemed to communicate well with the seveille social forum.
The march ended outside a theme park and this seemed to suit the mood.
