On the morning of 29 March 2012, numerous informational picketing crossed the city of Barcelona in the framework of the general strike. In industrial areas, such actions were led by the unions, but the Barcelona neighborhoods, the strike committees were formed mainly by activists of social movements. One such group, consisting of more than 200 people toured the streets of Poble Nou road traffic and cutting down the shutters of some shops that were open to the public. At the height of the Rambla del Poble Nou with Avenida Diagonal, an allocation of riot lashed group of demonstrators on the grounds that it was cutting off circulation and posed a "danger for drivers."

The magistrate court number 18 of Barcelona -the same who instruct the case four F-opened proceedings against these four strikers

The magistrate court number 18 of Barcelona -the same who instruct the case four F-opened proceedings against these four strikers and the prosecution requested a sentence of two years in prison for each of them. The Generalitat of Catalonia, however, was a private accusation in person and demanded a higher penalty of three years in prison and a fine of eighteen months. If we review the content of police crowded, but we are full of contradictions, but is a generic accusation of an alleged offense of public disorder, it is recognized that "have not seen these people did such damage" or 'agents have not been able to observe what they were doing, they could only see it played no furniture. "

Another controversial aspect of the trial is the assessment of the damage allegedly caused to the dumpsters. A letter from the Management of Prevention, Security and Mobility of the City Council, which joined the cause in April 2012-figure in twenty-two containers damaged and damage assessed in 9131 euros. However, a report attached to the letter detailing twenty of these containers were repaired at the same scene, it had suffered damage severe enough to have to be moved to the municipal warehouses and replaced by containers. In minutes the police does not record that proves any container on fire. Meanwhile, the defense lawyer requested the acquittal of the four defendants. The trial will be held this morning in the City of Justice.
