One more day of mobilization in Fortaleza



Today, the youth from Fortaleza played one more action

to denounce the perverse side of the politics

implemented by BID (Inter American Bank of Development). Even with the city being in

true state of siege, the committee of youth anti -

BID got to enter in the airport, extending posters,

strips and staging pieces against the imperialism, ALCA, the

government Tasso Jereissati and FHC, and, clear, against BID.

The group-about 50 militant-it arrived exactly

in the hour in that a sanfoneiros couple (popular musics) received

police officers of the encounter of the BID arrive in a flight of Miami.

Immediately, all the protesters opened their posters, that even

then they were kept to mislead the enormous apparatus

policeman of the place. In one of the strips it was written “BID,

isn't welcome.”

All of the people that arrive at the airport are being

photographed and they have their identities photocopied by the

federal police. They are forced her be from front to one

camera camcorder their faces are recorded in several

angles.

The place of the fast parking for embarkment and

disembark is allowed only for authorities of BID! That

control outline also repeats in the roundness of the

hotels in that the police officers of BID are accommodated. The

residents need to prove that live for there for

they could have access to their streets.

But the safety of the airport (federal, civil,

aeronautics...) it was just surrounding the manifestation that

it was being done there. The press, that it was present,

it deviated and refused to register the manifestation.

On this Wednesday, the morning we will pass producing

masks, posters, drums and several characters for the

manifestation that we will do in the afternoon. We will also be

making work of popularization of this action. We will leave the

Square of Ferreira in march for the streets of Fortaleza.

We will pass from front to a McDonald, where we will distribute

tapiocas (a typical meal of this area) as form of

self-assertion of the popular culture and we are going to the beach of

Iracema, where we will denounce the projects financed by the

BID and that have serious environmental and social impacts.

Greetings anticapitalistas
