Tuesday [16 December 2014], at 5am, began the aptly named anti-terrorist operation called
"Pandora", against the so-called "anarchist terrorism". People were arrested, accused of
belonging to an anarchist organization to which several attacks by explosive devices are
assigned. The operation, led by the National Court in Madrid, has mobilized 450 cops
Mossos d'Esquadra Catalan, who from 5:30 raided 13 homes in Catalonia - 8 in Barcelona, a
Sabadell and Manresa - but also a person in Madrid by the Guardia Civil. ---- The cops are
back in the squat Kasa de la Muntanya [open since 1989], Barcelona, around which hundreds
of police were deployed during a helicopter assisted the operation by illuminating the
scene. The media have the Kasa de la Muntanya as the "operational center of anarchist
terrorists" ( sic ). The search lasted more than 13 hours, during which the twenty
inhabitants was held in the gymnasium of the squat, while the cops searched every room in
the building. Then were other searches, in the libertarian Ath?n?es Sant Andreu and Poble
Sec, Barcelona. The cops embedded laptops, computers and computer equipment, cash and books.
During the operation seven women and four men were arrested of between 31 and 36, of
Spanish nationality, Uruguay, Italy and Austria.
The arrests are linked to several attacks that took place in 2012 and 2013, including
explosive attacks on DAB bank branches. The National Court makes a connection between
these attacks and insurrectionary Commando Mateo Morral, who claimed to have planted a
bomb in Madrid's Almudena Cathedral The February 7, 2013, and another at the Basilica of
El Pilar Zaragoza 3 October 2013 . Two attacks for which are accused are not the
journeyman-s M?nica Caballero and Francisco Solar , arrested of November 13, 2013 in
Barcelona, and in prison since.
Immediate coordination we can notice that occurs between the National Hearing, the Catalan
cops and the media, all serving the same story, by staging a maximum alert.
?At 19h, several thousand people demonstrated in the center of Barcelona, blocking several
streets, it is one of the largest spontaneous solidarity marches since the 1970s in
Catalonia. Banks and real estate agents windows were shattered, projectiles were thrown at
the cops, and dumpsters were burned. A priori there would be no arrests despite some
police expenses during the event. Other demonstrations were held in several cities. In
Madrid there are at least three arrests.
These few offensive demonstrations are important, they show the state that anarchists do
not burrow under the first cave when repression strikes. The companions should deal with
Javier G?mez Berm?dez judge, or tomorrow, Wednesday, December 17, accused of "belonging to
a criminal organization anarchist kind for terrorist purposes," no less. It will be then
decided to release or detain them in custody.
Solidarity with the companion / nes arrested in Spain Tuesday, December 16.
Freedom for Monica and Francisco.
Freedom tou / your the prisoner / es of social war.
