Electoral campaign in Barcelona

2007.05.24




Here you can see the 'Kubotan', the new weapon used by catalan police against demonstrators...



Police. Blue men throughout. Truncheons. Violence. This is Barcelona.

Next sunday we'll have municipal ellections in Barcelona. But these year, something is different. Something is changing and not for good. More violence, more reaction.

Barcelona és, cada vegada més, un estat policial.

noptek There's a riot going on.
Excellent pictures.
Is the policeman handing an electric device?

enric Thanks! But no, in Barcelona the police don't use electric devices, not yet.

belledemai actually I am very surprised you were able to get away with taking these shots....in france you would have your equipment confiscated, I'm sure

enric No... it was only a municipal ellection in Barcelona, but the radical left organitzations did demonstrations during the campaign against ICV, the party who command the catalan police. It is, theorically, a left party, but now the police is more repressive and use new kinds of weapons (kubotan), as you can see in the shot number five. The catalan police, wich is new, has been trained by the german police.
