the intro is printed below:
It´s difficult to sum up in one statement all the stuff that´s been happening in Barcelona during the last week of mobilizations that led to Sundays manifestation of 500,000 people, the largest anti-globalization march in our movements history. The momentum has been noticably building for a month; posters and graffiti spontaneously appearing, newspapers buzzing of police plans and presence, media threats that dangerous foreign agitators are coming to Barcelona (that´s us!), and much more. In the last week before the summit the police presence of 8,500 smothered the city, and later in the week shut down major streets, transportation, and neighborhoods in order to safeguard the summit (yes, again they had to meet in an occupied zone). Homeless people were cleared out of sight, young people were cleaned from the streets and plazas, and some parts of inner barcelona became a surreal playground of militarized police and tourists in bad shirts. Yes, the name Franco was mentioned more then once.
