Spain’s Ministry of Defence caught deleting information from Wikipedia

This 2022, the Catalan film Alcarràs has been selected to go to the Oscars nominations for foreign films. The film is named after the town where it takes place, the little Alcarràs in the rural West of Catalonia.

In the same day that the nomination was made public, the Wikipedia page for the town of Alcarràs was altered to eliminate the reference to the Spanish police’s violent attacks on voters on the day of the referendum on Catalonia’s independence from Spain (October 1st, 2017).

Since Wikipedia is an open encyclopedia, everyone can edit it, but the editor’s IP address is recorded. Thanks to this, we can know that this was edited from the seat of Spain’s Ministry of Defence.

In fact, this IP first went to edit the Spanish-language Wikipedia page for Alcarràs, but since it already didn’t have any reference to the Spanish police’s brutality, it only changed one comma. Then, it went to the Catalan language version of Wikipedia, which did have that reference, and deleted it. It also added that the referendum was “illegal”.

For those who don’t know what happened, Catalonia has been trying to get independence from Spain for a long time. After many years of trying to reach an agreement with the government of Spain to win a bigger amount of autonomy inside of Spain or an independence referendum, Spain always refused any concessions. In 2017, an independence referendum was organized, but Spain declared it illegal and sent the military police to steal the ballot boxes and voting papers before the day of the referendum. Catalonia became the most militarized place in Europe because of all the Spanish military police sent here. The materials had to be sneaked in in secret and distributed to all the towns and cities without being discovered. Printing places, newspapers, businesses and even people’s houses were searched by the police, but all the country was organized and managed to have the ballot boxes and papers in every voting centre.

On the day of the referendum (October 1st 2017), the Spanish police showed up to the voting centres, violently attacked the schools, beat up the voters, and stole the ballot boxes full of votes when they could. People protected the votes with their bodies, and more than 1,000 people had to be attended by emergency healthcare services as a result of the injuries caused by the brutality of the Spanish police. Still, there wasn’t enough police for the whole country, and most places could vote.

At the end of the day, slightly more than half of the population elegible to vote in Catalonia had voted, but since some of the votes were stolen by the Spanish police, the votes that could be counted amounted to the 43% of the population. 90.18% of the votes were “yes to independence”, 7.89% were “no”, 1.98% were blank, and 0.86% were null (source).

Alcarràs is a small town, where about 5,000 people were elegible to vote. More than 80 military policemen arrived to Alcarràs to stop the voting from taking place. They reached the voting centre, where they found over 500 people peacefully protecting it with their bodies, stopping the police from entering it. Then, the police brutally attacked them, leaving 20 people injured.

But at this moment, I want to remember the people of Alcarràs with a video of the people protecting the voting centre against the police. You can see how people are pressed together and don’t let the police push forward, while they shout “no passareu” (you shall not pass), “fora” (out!), and “votarem” (we will vote).

Full clip (11 minutes) here. October 1st 2017, Alcarràs.

Don’t let them erase it. Remember what happened and the power that an organized people have.

Polish farmers block rail links with Ukraine

On 18 February, Polish farmers completely blocked the movement of trucks in both directions at the international checkpoint Dorohusk-Jahodyn and disrupted railway communication with Ukraine, Ukrainian media reported.

Since 9:00 Kyiv time, Polish farmers have been completely blocking the movement of lorries in both directions at the Dorohusk-Jahodyn international checkpoint. The farmers are holding a large-scale protest on the access roads to the village of Dorohusk.

Despite the protesters’ promises to let perishable, dangerous or humanitarian goods through, not a single heavy vehicle has crossed the border since then. The State Customs Service of Ukraine noted that shuttle buses passed through normally without queues.

As of 16 February, Polish farmers blocked six checkpoints on the border with Ukraine.

Ūropi (Europe)

Ūropi, also known by its indigenous name “Europe”, meaning “wide-gazing” or “broad of aspect”, is a small continent first discovered in 1806 by Moehanga of Ngāpuhi, although indigenous Europeans had been living there for many thousands of years. Modern researchers believe the indigenous Europeans originally migrated from the Middle East, and over time split into separate tribes or “kingdoms,” with many retaining their ancient rangatira (called “monarchs” or “nobility”) to this day.

While many see Ūropi as timeless and exotic, indigenous Europeans have actually adapted well to the modern economy, often exporting cultural products like baguettes and vodka, the former of which may be recognisable as the basis for bánh mì.

[ 📹 Protests rage across Europe and the world as South Africa's genocide case against Israel moves forward with hearings at The Hague in the Netherlands.]

🇺🇳⚔️🇮🇱 🚨 GLOBAL SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE AS PROTESTS SPREAD THROUGHOUT EUROPE

People across the world protest Israel's genocide of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, with thousands of people demonstrating throughout the globe in solidarity with occupied Palestine.

In excess of 23'700 Palestinians have been killed in Zionist bombing and shelling of the Gaza Strip since October 7th, with upwards of 60'000 Palestinians wounded in the bombardment of the enclave.

On Saturday, dozens of protestors gathered in front of the United States embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, calling for a ceasefire in the occupied territories.

Meanwhile, on Friday, hundreds gathered waving flags and banners in rejection of the United States and United Kingdom's aggression against Yemen, along with Yemen's efforts to hinder Israel's war in Gaza by blocking trade with the occupied territories through the Bab el-Mandeb straight in the Red Sea.

In the Netherlands, crowds gathered in front of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague to rally in support of Palestinians, chanting pro-Palestine slogans and waving flags and banners.

Protests were also recorded in both Chile and South Africa, with crowds demanding an immediate end to Israel's genocide and calling for a ceasefire as South Africa's case against Israel for genocide proceeds with hearings at The Hague.

Protests are also ongoing in Berlin, Germany as well as the City of London, in the United Kingdom, where large crowds chanted pro-Palestinian slogans and waved the flag of Palestine along with banners.

Croatia’s top court has ruled that President Zoran Milanovic, who had campaigned to become prime minister before this week’s parliamentary elections, may not head the new government. “The president has been warned in time that he cannot participate in the campaign but that he must [first] resign. Now it is over. He can no longer be a prime minister-designate,” Constitutional Court President Miroslav Separovic said at a news conference on Friday. “Everyone is obliged to adhere to the constitution and the law,” he added. Croatia held parliamentary elections on Wednesday, in which the ruling conservative Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) won the most seats but not enough to form a government alone.

Honestly feeling afraid and quite stressed about the latest news:

For those who haven't heard: Russian rockets hit Poland kiling two. Regardless of whether Art. 5 of NATO is gonna be invoked or not, it's still an escalation. It's still scary. I'm afraid. I'm gonna stress-clean and hope tomorrow may bring less-bad-than-worst-case-scenario news.
