Dear people,
Yesterday evening a handful of comrades from the Marches to Brussels and Athens had already arrived in Puerta del Sol. They say the rest of the hard core will be here today. The call to besiege the Spanish parliament as from September 25 is the most revolutionary thing happening in Europe at the moment. That’s why we’re here.

Spain has currently an unemployment rate of more than 25 per cent – More than 6 million out of 23 million (on some regions the rate is at 35 per cent) and the unemployment of the young population is over 50 per cent. Also the government has raised significantly the taxes, the price of energy, and at the same time has make severe cuts. The reforms are affecting both the public and private sector.
