Aan de Spaanse grens werden de eerste betogers opgepakt. Het lijkt stilaan traditie te worden.

PROBLEMS AT THE BORDER


a group of three polish activists were refused to enter spain on monday morning because they obviously looked like protesters, carriing an anarchist flag and other things with them.
yesterday another group of about fifty people were also refused to enter spain at the border station port bou. Amongst them were many eastern-europe working migrants but also a few polishactivists that wanted to come to the protests against the eu-meeting in barcelona this weekend. the official reason for the refusal was, that they did not have the necessarry amount of money that non-eu-citizens can be demanded to show.
following rumours already more than 650 people were refused to enter spain the last days.

we hope they all will try again and succeed to break through the walls of AND WITHIN fortress europe.

THERE IS STILL TIME TO COME TO BARCELONA!
SMASH THE WALLS OF FORTRESS EUROPE!

It's not absolutely necessary to cross the pyrenees nearby the coastlines. The Catalan pyrenees are very beautifull, the people are very nice, and if you speak a few words of Catalan, they will be glad to help you to cross the border. In the region of the Cerdanya (with Catalan speaking parts in France and in Spain) and Alt Urgell there are many villages that have a history of a whole town that fought the fascists of Franco's regime. If you tell them where you go, they probably ring their family and drive you 'till BCN and you will get a free meal.
