"Fine Rain: Focus January 20, 2007. Cáceres.
Like fine rain, the Assembly Housing for-Cáceres seeps slowly into the city. We are ants, we are the force of the street, and still keep hearing an old question, of course, does not frighten us: How many people have been in demonstration? So few? Even today, we are still complaining that they lost a battle not for us young people. Our elders, those who participated in the underground forces of the people and that after Franco's death, and in the transition, they realized that "against Franco were better", suddenly saw their reference points were gone. These older who saw the changed political framework and freedom of expression was done (right to complain). Those older than believed in the transition, that famous transition mismatch, which we inherited the young, and in which our ancestors turned to "sell" again. Again believed in the power and mediation: this will give you if, fall down, worship me. The most significant people was leaving the local struggles of the neighborhoods, trotscos spent the PSOE, the PT and ORT were scattered. In short, they turned the say in diego. It was a mistake and it is, identify the political change that's happened to itself (hence our disappointment in politics). Count, those over honest, above ridiculed Felipe Gonzalez when he announced the change of change in the elections of 93. There is resentment that is in these words but a need to clarify things for no mistakes. In fact, young people today, we know what happened in those years when there was no freedom (for this are the books, films and our grandfathers and grandmothers), we are aware of our heritage. Therefore, the question posed to discourage ("How many people have gone to the demonstration?") Is a question left over, which does not occur.
In Cáceres, Saturday January 20 at 12 hours, we met about thirty people or perhaps less, seeping slowly as the rain. We were accompanied by four police cars (national police). After a while, when they saw we were not dangerous, they left two cars. Was only until the end a car, just in case. We stand with our comrades who have been repressed in the demonstrations in Madrid and Barcelona. In Madrid and Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe power is already aware that the Assembly Housing for and against insecurity, are beginning to take shape, to be important are permeating the public, little by little. Therefore, the power knows what to do: to disperse the people's congresses at dirty thud. It's business as usual, some older, but still do not believe we have suffered in our flesh repression: Unfortunately not only existed in the times of dictatorship. Finally, we cry to curb property speculation and so that everyone can access to decent housing. And we launched a very strong call to end the instability.
On Saturday, we strive to achieve utopia, if Marinaleda has been possible in our cities as well. Although the Minister of Housing says that "housing will not fit abrupt changes, touch the heart of the economy" (Diario Hoy. Cáceres. January 21, 2007. Page 38).
The Assembly Housing for-Cáceres, little by little, and ignoring the famous question (How many people were?), We in the street. We are few but we are right.
Are All Children of Don Quixote.
