no war on irak

Mass media estimate 500.000 demonstrating against the war in Valencia, Spanish state (considering Valencia has about 1.000.000 inhabitants, you can realise the importance of the demo)

Murcia, in the south of Valencia, has got a 50.000 people demonstration.

Bilbo, in the basque country, around 250.000...

Mass media estate that almost 4.000.000 people has demostrated in Spain.

Organizers in Barcelona say the demonstration has gathered around 2.000.000 people.

In despite of the last week support of some mass media and political parties, this levels of movilization are just overwhemling and overcome the attempts of cooptation.

estimates for ´andalucia´ should read ´almeria´ where 20,000+ turned out to demonstrate

Hi! Can the makers of this web site correct the information about the demos in the Spanish state?

Definitive numbers of movilization in Spain: Media estimate almost 5 milion people demonstrating in Spanish state, organizers almost 7 million, goverment almost 3 milions. That's simply unbelivable and it represents the biggest decentralized demonstration all over the world within the borders of a national state. Of course, Aznar is still saying that he doesn't care. Exact info about numbers, in the following link:

By the way, the squated center against the war has been evicted by the same people that was coming last minute to the demonstration to show how anti-war they are, the socialist labour spanish party.

Toulon est un port de guerre dans le sud de la France, et pourtant il y avait 4.000 personnes qui ont manifesté ce samedi contre la guerre en Irak.
Après être tombé dans l'extrème-droite, Toulon se réveille petit à petit et prend peut-être conscience qu'il vaut mieux s'ouvrir au monde que le rejeter.
Maintenons la pression et répétons ce si joli : "OUI A LA PAIX".

Ciao viva

In Andorra la Vella was also a claim against war. We did the greatest march of Andorra's History, with 1.500 people. March was from Casa de la Vall (Parlamient House) to Plaça del Poble.

1.$B!!(BI firmly oppose and resolutely condemn the U.S. policy of aggression and war against Iraq;
2. I firmly oppose and resolutely condemn the high-tech slaughter of defenseless Iraqi people, to be unleashed in full view of the world.
3. I firmly oppose the adoption of any resolution by the UN Security Council, which may give rise to the appearance of U.N. endorsement of this war of aggression.
4. I fervently hope the majority of U.N. Security Council members, and in particular, the three permanent members, China, Russia and France, will adhere to their principled position, stand firm against U.S. pressure and carry out their responsibilities entrusted by the U.N. Charter to defend peace.
5. That the Bush Administration immediately abandon plans for the aerial bombardment and use of WMDs against Iraq, and end its preparations for war.

I'm from Barcelona, Spain. Reading the manifestant numbers in different cities of the world, I realize that the most important were in Spain: Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao,Valencia...as a little country with less population than another big countries. So I wonder how it's possible that "our government" still supports Bush?
I think that, now, in Spain, with Aznar, we have come back to the dictatorship(as with Franco).
