Bologna Keeps on Burning in Madrid NOW

Today has started the European Union's Ministerial CounterSummit in Madrid. Students from Madrid, the spanish State and Europe will meet in the faculty of Philosophy – Universidad Complutense to hold workshops, make actions in the city and prepare the demo in the 12th April. Each day there will be an action of civil disobedience done by activists in the countersummit. In the morning has been made an action in Madrid city centre, with the end of making visible the start of our countersummit, which has been achieved without any activist getting arrested.

In the afternoon students have occupied the Universidad Complutense's Faculty of Philosophy building. They have taken diverse spaces like rooms or the hall to hold workshops and assemblies. At about 8pm the Paraninfo (historical conference room) has been occupied and an occupation assembly has been made.

Tonight, there are different assemblies to prepare actions or organize the spaces occupied. Students will sleep inside the building, and tomorrow we will make the actions prepared, the first one early in the morning. We are looking forward for the rest of the activists who have to come to Madrid in the next days and to make bologna burn again here.

See you in the streets,

La lucha es el único camino!
