The CNT-AIT Barcelona hits a 700 million € slap to 'El Corte Ingles': IECISA ban to work in the public sector for 3 years and lose its contracts
The Union Section of CNT trought the 'Department of Territory and Sustainability of the Catalonian Generalitat' [regional government agency] has managed, after 6 years in conflict, to the ban the contract of 'Informática El Corte Inglés' (IECISA) by the public sector for 3 years. This prohibition, enacted by 'Work Inspection' also affects 2 filian companies, Serikat and Cast-Info, and covers contracts and subcontracts with Local, Regional and National Administrations in any member State of the European Union.
To remember that the three companies and the same Catalonian Generalitat were sentenced in 2013, with a final judgment in 2015, for illegal move of workers and null dismissal due to the vulneration of Fundamental Rights (freedom of association, right to strike and right to judical protection). These facts are considered as Very Serious infringements and reason for disqualification under the 'Act on Public Sector Contracts'.
These 3 companies, whose anti-worker and abusive practices are widely known in the tecnology industry, and allied with the political mafia, have spent years looting the Public Coffers. Once again it shows that State and Employers go hand in hand with the aim to enrich at the expense of the Worker.
During the conflict ECI tried to buy the comrades with insulting amounts of money, them were move and finally fired away without even paying the current on course. After the judical sentence to reincorporate to work in 2013, the Human Resources dept decided to deny access to their workplace, paying payroll without going to work for 2 years, since the company is not interested in workers who defend their dignity. Nevertheless, they still stood, facing down the outsourcing mafias and their lackeys in the Administration.
All unpleasent happened to the companions and all the time invested, have been worthwhile as the beating that means for ICA not work for 3 years for the public sector will remind for long time the labor dispute with the CNT. And that is becouse the most of the 700 million euros annual billing by IECISA came from public contracts. Hundreds of millions of euros of losses because of their arrogance in believing that three precariuso could never face them. We also want to emphasize in the lucrative contracts with wich CTTI (a Generalitat public company) has awarded Cast-Info, how the 'General Council of Judiciary Power' [the highest judical institution in Spain] is one of the mean Serikat customers, or its more recent contract worth € 1 million with the Catalunyan Parlament.
Now they loose the cushy contracts. At least for 3 years these parasites will not get rich from the public money and we have been able to demonstrate the profound contempt we feel for all of them. We've made a deep wound and we still dream to completely finish them.

This video was censored in Catalonian TV due to the political implication of the City Mayor and Ex Minister Joan Clos. This is how Spain understands Justice.
<< June 2013, a group of 800 people enter an abandoned cinema in central Barcelona to project a documentary. Once inside, they change the name of the building: the old Cinema Palace is called from now Patricia Heras Cinema. Who was Patricia? Why he decided to commit suicide? And most importantly how is Barcelona related to her death? A disobedience act, with strong symbolic content and a huge media impact that seeks -through Patricia history- to present the other side of Barcelona, the Dead City.
The largest demonstration was held in Barcelona, but the protest was conducted simultaneously in ten cities of the Spanish State. Greater police presence harasses the concentration convened in Madrid. PHOTO GALLERY @FOTOMOVIMIENTO
The more crowded march was the Barcelona one, but protest day was done simultaneously in a dozen cities in Spain.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 people attended the Saturday afternoon demonstration in Barcelona in a call from the Seven Imprisoned Support Assembly following the Pandora Operation. The march has started six quarters from Plaza Catalonia, followed closely by a dozen vans of Mobile Brigade (Brimo, antiriot hitmen). The police deployment, however, was minimal, as most of the Catalans Riot command are in holidays. The operational leader was a sergeants and not a sub-inspectors as usual, and was set only by two of eight Units based Sabadell. They was support by the ARRO unit , Barcelona pro-riots unit, who had been entrusted with the protection of Portal de l'Angel shopping center (own by "el Corte Inglés" fascist trust), the Justice Department and the CDC headquarters in Corsica Street.
Simultaneously held up to a dozen protests throughout Spain. In the center of Madrid a hundred protesters, 200 in Zaragoza and dozens Castellón, are some of the highest concentrations. Solidarity but also has internationalized and has shown today before the Spanish consulate in the capital of Slovenia and displayed in Lisbon tomorrow.
"Terrorist is who condemns us to a life of misery, not who rebelled against it," was the slogan that opened the event in Barcelona. Also shouting "The only terrorist is the Capitalist State" with the crowd went in and out of "El Corte Inglés" fascist shopping center and the ice rink that these days occupies the Catalonia Square. The journey of a mile walk along the Paseo de Gracia flow normally with the fascist policemen vans at a distance. "Terrorism is not reached at the end of the month", "If touch one you touch us all" and "Ito ito, ito, the small bird to fall" in reference to the police helicopter hovering in progress at all the time and has inpirated some slogans more. The March reached Gran de Gracia. At this point where some protesters have broken with hammers crystals of banks, shops and a large hotel chains.
Banco Sabadell, La Caixa, Banco Santander, BBVA and Caixa Catalonia bank just ended with broken glass and some others multinational franchises apparel and a shop of gold and silver sales. The large windows of the "Hotel Casa Fuster" have been very damaged. It so happens that this building was the consulate of Nazi Germany in Barcelona in 1936, shortly before becoming the spring of 1937, the headquarters of the defense committee of the revolution driven by the CNT, FAI, the Libertarian Youth and the Iberian Communist Youth. Phalange took the building again in 1939. After the "Transition" period was the scene of a renewed dispute between the council and the local movement. The claim that there was both a social facility mitigated by the Catalan Socialist Party PSC, which chose to give the estate to Noga holding (based in Granada) license luxury hotel.
The sound of broken glass preceded a warning of "imminent charge" that the Mossos d'Esquadra issued by the speakers.
The sound of broken glass preceded a warning of "imminent load" that the Mossos d'Esquadra issued by the police van speakers. However, the MArch has reached Diamond Square and there has been called off, without oportunity to antiriot charge the bulk of the protest. Have been, however, some sliding between demonstrators and plainclothes agents. In one of these actions, Goya Street, a boy has been retained, has been identified and released.
To remember that Pandora operation, driven by the Mossos d'Esquadra Autonomic Catalan Police, unfolded the morning of December 16, fourteen searches of buildings ("Kasa de la Mountanya", Libertarian Ateneo d'el Palomar, Poble Sec Anarchist Ateneo and eleven homes), eleven people arrested, seven of them imprisoned. Atorneis explained that some of them are dispersed and isolated under FIES penitentiary regime; they spend twenty hours a day completely isolated. Casta Judge Javier Gómez Bermúdez signed orders for admission to prison and, at the request of the Mossos d'Esquadra, agreed to the extend the secret summary of the investigation that began two years ago with multiple telephone interventions and monitoring.
As learned the direct drive of the Mossos d'Esquadra specializes in tracking the anarchist movement is still in force operating against the anarchist groups Coordinated (GAC), that supposedly would be the target of what the cabinet's press department Interior called "anarchist terrorism operation." Despite not being able to know the details of the case, through which the order was sent to prison seven anarchists learned that two of the signs would inculpatoris reading and distribution of the book "Against Democracy" and the use of the service encrypted e-mail server that offers Rise Up.
The Spanish democracy not stops giving lessons. This morning of December 27 has been in Opera Square in Madrid, during concentration on solidarity with detainees by the under the eye judge Bermúdez before his so evident "anarchist terrorism".
Democracy that Goberment Delegate Cristina Cifuentes, and her well trained blue puppies understood as repression to anyone who disagrees with the postdictatioral regime. Massive identifications and an arrest, besides shoving and utter contempt for freedom. Meanwhile hundreds of pedestrians and citizens, those who will vote in their elections setting a good example in the "festival of democracy", spent long with purchases under his arm.
A concentration that almost has not even reached sixty minutes, with just one hundred attendees, but blue puppies well trained in rows with batons in their hands and helmets on belts, we assume that ready to democratize all the rebels that shout against this cruel, violent and chaotic system.
We have been filled with rage, because their violence is legitimized by law while our resistance causes the most horrible tortures. We have gone with the tension of having the most absolute trampling of human rights. But at the end of the day, we went with the joy of being accomplices of injustice.
Today in Opera, some deliver democracy, and the other fortitude, courage and solidarity.
Now, you should choose which side you're on.

Can Vies: The reason for the police force in Barcelona. La voz como arma 29.52014
These days, as reflected in this blog ("Unknow set fire to the excavator that was used to demolish the CSO building Can Vies, evicted yesterday" and "the CSO Can Vies evicted in Barcelona"), the Sants distric, and by domino effect much of the Barcelona city and other Catalonian towns, lives moments of revolt and solidarity after the eviction on Monday 26 of the squatter social center Can Vies. Historical reference for the antagonist social movement in the Catalan city, with 17 years of experience, fight , free and rebel culture, which has lead to build strong ties to the neighborhood, creating a solidarity network that has paid off in the different demonstrations these days. Thousands of people of all ages had shouted against speculation and lack of spaces from which to rethink and transform the existing relations in an anti-capitalist and self-managed way. While, other fewer, less patients, more passionated and thirsting for strike back and return to sender a little of the anger that the dogs of the system spread every day, had smashed banks and attacked police and mass media journalists, made barricades blocking train traffic. People had set fire to the demolition machinery parked in the area of the squatter.
A worthy vengeance that has not stop yet, and continuing today with new demonstrations, and will follow which many qualify as "Can Vies Effect " which comes from social networks as "the new Gamonal", referring to another recent example of massive neighborhood mobilization in this Burgos city distric, where the neighborhood solidarity brings to a permanent cessation of the works for a new, useless and expensive boulevard. Calmed conflict but no the consciences of the residents.
The totalitarianism of "their cities" do not fit with who have inhabited or known gaps of mercantilism, full of life and passion, dreams and hopes. Where neither boredom nor the monotony of status-quo have no place, venturing into new ways of politics but above all, to interact and disobey.
To the Masters: your cities are sad. You want places without participation, where everything is automated and ready to keep us allienated from our needs and the resources we need to truly satisfy, dedicated to the hypnotic and absurd work to keep us turning in gears that make screens, fences and new desires to use and pull, synthetic experiences, electric household comfort and unattainable ideals of life while pursuing gradually lose breath and self-esteem. To finish in the peat fades faceless crowds walking downcast sorrounds by windows lined streets, cameras and publicity. An sterile stage of peace, security and harmony that breaks so easely as shops and banks windows whenever the system programming failure, and the mass ceases to be to become free people who pool their efforts and organize autonomously to end the social zoo and clash the miserable living conditions it imposes.
Now, the comrades of the anti-development and libertarian magazine Argelaga publish in his blog a text about Can Vies, his role in Barcelona turned into tourist brand, the eviction and the answers give in the street. After receiving the email, I leave it for reading, reflection and debate. For other texts, information and news publication, visit the blog of Argelaga here.

Can Vies: The Reason for the police force in Barcelona. Argelaga, May 28, 2014
When the force of reason is subbmided by reason of strength, not everyone can talk about Law or Rights. In this situation the law is arbitrary and its implementation does not follow the "rule of law", but a state of abuse where violence is monopolized by the government to serve privileged interests. In this case the abuse resistance is legitimate. Moreover, the right to resist and defend themselves is really the only Right. Therefore, from the point of view of freedom, dignity and reason, the true sources of law, the protest against the demolition of squatted and self-managed space Can Vies, in Sants district, can not be more justified. Its demolition was not a pretext for "intolerable itinerant minorities violence" take advantage of the unrest "as the authorities, and the policial trade union UGT, say: it has been simply a sign of institutional barbarism, blind, wild ans widespread represive violence.
The metropolis called Barcelona is not a comprehensive settlement organized by a community of people as when it was founded; nor is a industrial city full of blue collar workers as it was before; the overcrowding Barcelona is only an open and peaceful consumer space, where every human movement must be regulated and controlled to ensure transparency and function. Who rules in Barcelona are not neighbors, but a political and financial caste, verticalist and authoritarist. An usurping parasitic caste, making the urban management their privileged way of life. What counts for leaders is the "Barcelona brand". To give a neat and calm image, such as a mall or a theme park, good for business, shopping, leisure commodified and tourism. It is evident that the spectacle of a consumable Barcelona needs a space without contradictions and ambiguities, completely subdued and set for the buyer.
The new urban model not allow the existence of truly public spaces, without mediation or barriers. And forget the horizontal management: everything must function as a hierarchical and monitored scenario where technology, ordinances, street furniture and urban development are at the service of plunderers leaders. The exercise of authority under these conditions is essentially police; at this stage, is confused with political repression: management, monitoring and order are the same thing, so the Government rules everything, from public order to council. The policy is then not a matter of policy, but the relentless security forces. All political and social problems that this aberrant model city constantly causes will never be recognized as such, since the population has no right to complain about "the best of all worlds". The only response from the dominant power, hijacked of popular choice, is violence.
It is clear that on the issue of Can Vies, city officials never intended to offer alternatives aside of official bureaucratic circuit. Every meeting was poured to manipulation and deceit, because proposing such unacceptable controlled space in which they really wanted to remove as place for people. The disproportionate police presence to enforce the eviction proves it.
Master had neither think about the intervention of other groups or the neighborhoods to support the Center. Nor solidarity from other districs would expect, as happened in the early morning. So that the "unjust order" forces were initially surprised. Where was the ultrasonic cannon and why not shoot immediately "foam" bullots? The police trade union SMT-CCOO wondered that, as must to be said that repression is a mercenary work whose employees are covered by the state agreements. The answer everyone has seen. Almost military occupation of the distric, indiscriminate police violence, arbitrary arrests and injuries ...
All the mediatic efforts of Barcelona Mayor Trias, public order Councilor Espadaler and Councilman Sants-Montjuïc district Jordi Martí, was directed, first, to support any violent policial action. Police, the "defender of property rights" and "executing an order of Supreme Court". In fact, they have not explained too much: "Bad thing is that if the police has to justified their facts" Espadaler, " security forces have reason. When mossos act is becouse a reason" Trias. them, the politician efforts was also directed to present the protests as the work of infiltrating violent groups, with the idea of splitting between peaceful protest and radical, "anti", in order to "find ways of consensus" with some and beating and jailing others. It's an old political tactic that comes up when the violent force has not given all the desired result. The leader demagoguery suck but that is. We do not blame the authorities for lack of subtlety when the only need is the lack of scruples!
Can Vies was a stone in the shoe of power in Barcelona. And it seems that this has not been easily removed. Resistance has been exemplary in many ways, proves that there are people that do not fit the slave behavior they impose. This is cause for joy. Today there are plenty of concentrations. Trust in the near future to have many others!
The struggle continues. Visca Can Vies!
