CANARY ISLANDS
10 percent of population turns out
In the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, as in 71
other cities in the Spanish state, 10 percent or more of the
population came out into the streets to say "No war on Iraq"
and to challenge the pro-Washington policy of Spanish Prime
Minister Juan Maria Aznar.
Among those addressing the crowd of 60,000 in Tenerife on
Feb. 15 was Berta Joubert-Ceci of the Philadelphia
International Action Center. The IAC had been invited to speak
at a conference on the "USA's new police state and the anti-war
resistance" by the Citizen's Action Against Neoliberal
Globalization in Grand Canary and by the Platform for Peace of
Tenerife.
