I would like to hear a - preferably Non-Faustian - account of what the municipality and its mayor are doing to the harmless immigrant street traders, and how, if at all, the former are responding to the campaign in defence of the latter.
Best,

Yes she is / was / or never was... Ada Colau, promoted as 15m / PAH activist, a commoner. This smells like another proof for the Faustian bargain we have been discussing here.
The love of and will for power, or its strong transformative effect on the weak human agency, who is more then ready to find all kinds of reasons to justify why he or she must hold the power, first and foremost to use it against the enemy and smash them, reminds me Tolkien's scene where Boromir and Bilbo Baggins - in the lord of the rings - both were attacking on Frodo Baggings (Jr.) while a silent scream inside of their head was calling 'preciousss'... 'mineee / ours' (generates multiple character disorder). Both wants to get back the ring, that rules them all.
If we want to do any good to ourselves and our loved ones we need to get rid of the ring, sending it back where it comes from..

Hi,
You may have heard of the street vendors' union in Barcelona which fights for the rights of this collective. I am not completelly aware of the context but basically the city's most classist powers have come together and are succesfully bullying street vendors with the complicity of the city hall.
Now they went a step further and are jailing people without any real charges. More details on the article.
Please help us share this information to get signatures from individuals and organizations abroad.
