Los fusilamientos del diecisiete de junio

I decided to do a remake of Goya's 3 de mayo concerning a current struggle in my hometown against a big evil company that wants to take down an enormous historical harbour warehouses to build 12 fucking ugly towers in it. It is known as Ocupe Estelita (#ocupeestelita #resisteestelita) and we've been camping in there for over a month when at last, in june 18th, the military police sieged us and fired several rubber bullet shots, pepper spray and tear gas grenades at us protesters who were at most unarmed college students. 

Thing is, they were not supposed to do that. The project of the big company's is being investigated by several public organs for its lack of ambiental impact studies and many other aspects. In other words, the building is illegal at this very moment and it was not for the police to do any of that against us since the lands we were sited still belonged to the Union. 

So I decided to register the afternoon where I went there and saw several people bleeding, hurting from the cowardly attack the police provided on us. I myself luckily got there safe and sound but for a few scratches and some burning on my nose and eyes from all the spray and gas I smelled. 

Help us in this fight. Ocupar, resistir!
