Update Miners Resistance Spain
Hier kun je discussieren over Update Miners Resistance Spain.
This village lies right next to the principal road and train tracks, and is surrounded by mountains on the other side. After waiting for several hours, the police surprised the people by this time coming from 5 different directions, mostly in small groups. The first cops we saw were up in the mountains from where they fired tear gas and rubber balls (that just bounce arround and scare people). The people fought back by firing firework-like rockets to the cops (but without being able to aim the rockets precisely enough). But when the cops came closer the people were dispersed succesfully, followed by guerilla style small groups with ´rockets´ and some arrests.
Then people shouted from their balconies for hours, while the police tried to keep control of the village until the roads had been cleared. Small confrontations happened from time to time, but mostly the fight was over, and people waited for the police to leave the village.
All in all it was a very impressive showing by the people, as the pictures and video´s will show.
