Atlantic International Partnership Headlines:Gallery: Pope protesters vs. pilgrims in Madrid

http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipnews.com/

Thousands of protesters angry over a visit by Pope Benedict XVI for a lavish youth festival took to Madrid’s streets Wednesday, and were confronted by Catholic pilgrims who sang “hallelujah” and sat on the ground and prayed.

No serious incidents were reported as dozens of riot police kept the two groups apart in and around the central Puerta del Sol square.

“God yes, Church no!” was one of the slogans chanted by the protesters as they marched across central Madrid on the eve of the 84-year-old pope’s arrival in the Spanish capital for the rock-festival style World Youth Day celebrations.

More than 100 groups took part, uniting many causes, including those seeking a change in the Church’s attitude to gay rights and those fighting for a clearer separation of Church and state.

But the outcry that has struck a chord with many — including some priests — is over the official 50.5-million-euro ($73-million) price tag, excluding the cost of police and security, of the Madrid celebrations.

The protest groups, some of which argue the real cost of the event to taxpayers is more than 100 million euros, are joining under the slogan: “The pope’s visit, not with my taxes.”

Tent-city activists hold live video chat with Madrid’s ‘May 15’ protesters, jointly prepare for next month’s int. anti-bank ‘Day of Rage’.

Talkbacks (8)

Fighting bad lighting and a spotty Internet connection, activists at the Rothschild tent city held a live chat Wednesday night with leaders of the “May 15” anti-government protests that have brought hundreds of thousands into the streets across Spain, since they began over three months ago.

Organizers said that the online meet-up, billed as “Live From Madrid” was called so thatactivists from the two movements could interact with one another and share ideas for upcoming protest events, including the international anti-bank “Day of Rage” protests scheduled for September 17, and the international anti-government protest day, called for October 15.

The live chat was also meant as a way for Rothschild protesters to learn from the May 15 activists, who have accrued a bit more experience to share with the younger July 14 movement.

The meeting was held at the “Rothschild corner of Tahrir” tent near Sheinkin street, and was attended by a few dozen protesters and curious passersby. On the Madrid side, about half-a-dozen Spaniards sat smiling and waving, making “jazz hands,” the symbolfor applause in American Sign Language.

The conversation was not without its hiccups. The Gmail chat video conversation dropped repeatedly due to the spotty Internet connection, and while it was still sunny in Madrid, in Tel Aviv it was already nighttime and initially there was no lighting system set up to illuminate the crowd.

The Spaniards, peering into their webcam for a closer look, called on their Tel Aviv brethren to hold their cell phones to their faces for illumination.

The conversation between the two groups – who communicated in English, despite it being neither’s mother tongue – was at times less than fluid.

When asked what the people in Spain see in the protests in Israel, one of the Spaniards, who was the only participant on their side who spoke during the entire conversation, said “we see it’s very big, very happy, and we all have a lot of hope in the Israel movement.”

Hearing that, the Tel Aviv crowd waved their jazz hands in the darkness.

Amit Youlzari, who runs the movement’s J14.org.il website, said that the conversation was organized because “we’re trying to hear from them about some of the methods they have used.”
