RECENT HEADLINES FROM THE WORLDWIDE INDYMEDIA NETWORK:

Spanish authorities raid anarchists' houses in multiple cities

Argentina Indymedia featured a story about a coordinated attack by Spanish authorities against houses and anarchists’ homes in four cities in Spain. In the early morning hours of December 16, 2014, Spanish police and the Spanish civil guard raided houses in Madrid, Barcelona, and in the Spanish cities of Sabadell and Manresa, arresting eleven people, destroying and seizing computers, cellphones, community libraries, and furniture. The attack was given the code name “Operation Pandora”, and the feature described the attack, quoting in translation, as being “in the best style of a third-world military dictatorship.” An editorial describing the attack provided a rationale for the attack: “the state needs to distract the society with an enemy”, and the enemy in this case was anarchism.
