A new Penal Code to criminalize protests, activists preventive arrests, violent police charges in peaceful demonstrations, threats and attacks on those who would leave evidence of abuse. All are relatively recent, coinciding with one of the greatest periods of social awakening and mobilization in Spain, but also in other parts of the world.
Under the umbrella of this new repressive context takes place today and tomorrow the first International Congress Against Repression , organized by animal advocate 'lgualdad Animal', but between speakers welcomed journalists, sociologists, activists, teachers and lawyers , among others, to meet and discuss possibilities protest against "the obscurantist stage of our democracy." You started this morning at the Ateneo de Madrid, located a few meters from the Congress of Deputies and in the day when we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Constitution.
The international activism prepares for the new scenario of repression.
