Spain: Comrades arrested in Barcelona and Manresa with accusations of 'terrorism'

From 6AM the Gossos* d'Esquadra (Catalan regional police) under orders from the Audiencia Nacional (National Court) raided private homes of anarchists and social spaces in Barcelona (Gracia, Sants and Sant Andreu neighborhood) and  Manresa. According to corporate media poisoning the mass arrests are a continuation of Operation Pandora against what the police and the judges believe are the GAC (Coordinated Anarchist Groups) whom they accuse of being responsible for the attacks claimed by anarchist groups during the years 2012 and 2013. (It should be recalled that last year the State Attorney General stated that 'anarcho-terrorists' no longer have the capacity to attack.)

According to the media, there 9 or 10 detainees, and many others arrested including from the Ateneo Libertario de Sants. 

The state is the only terrorist!
Freedom for the arrested anarchists!

*Note: Gosso is a Catalan word for dog. This is what we call the Catalan regional police.

Spain: Ticket machines destroyed at Barcelona metro station

11.05.15: A group of hooded activists entered Palau Reial metro station in Barcelona and destroyed ticket validating machines and ticket sales machines as well as painting slogans against exorbitant public transport fares and in favor of free public transport. The activists also distributed copies of a leaflet to commuters denouncing recent fare increases and calling for free public transport before exiting the station. The action was over very quickly without any intervention from the authorities or arrests being made. Unfortunately the destruction of the machines was not total and one of the validating machines was still operational however the ticket selling machines were completely disabled until the following day. There was no coverage of the action by any Spanish mainstream media or any comment or statement from TMB (Transport Barcelona).
