reading some articles in indymedia:

. It seems that Paraguay talked to the argentine government about 4 Misiones papeleras in the border that didn´t have any technology to lessen the contamination.
. People of different asambleas in the country are denunciando contamination from other papeleras and other empresas, specially mineras, throughout the country. (that´s interesting!)
. It seems that the Entre Ríos governor wanted the papeleras in Entre Ríos some years ago...

. I wanted with some friends to shout somewhere but I guess this time the organization failed. Where was the point beside the 6 pm stuff and nobody knew where...

. The oficialism is in the middle, I think this make things more confusing.

. If the conflict were with Chile it would be different... but it´s Uruguay and well...

no news in pagina/12 today about the conflict...mmmmm.......

well, at least Mr. K talked to Tabaré Vázquez!.
He asked him to stop the papeleras´s construction for 90 days.

Will the asambleas keep cutting the bridges?

Greenpeace stopped a merchant ship( ready to bring metalic materials to Botnia) in Talcahuano (Chile). See:

meanwhile the Gualeguaychú asamblea decided to keep doing the bridges and routes cuts for indeterminado time.

what will happen in these 90 days?

interesting article in indymedia about something like a version of the Gualeguaychú-asamblea-backstage and some commentaries about it. If you want an intensive course about how to insult in spanish this is the place. It´s already a sort of sport in indymedia replies...funny at some point...

Today the asamblea decides about to continue or stop the cuts. Ex uruguayian president Battle said that Tabaré betrayed the people of Uruguay. The Botnia workers will do an strike in answer to the stop of the buildings... See:

well, this looks like already like a neverending telenovela... all is so simple and nothing is so simple... See:

uruguayian sindicatos marched yesterday in Fray Bentos supporting the papeleras (I saw them on tv mixed with french students in the streets). Mr. K talked about "no dramatizar"...

the asamblea decided to stop the cuts and to stay by the route to see what happens:

s-t: to have or not to have a cerebro fosilizado, well... Spanish is fonológicamente easy (that´s not the case of French). Try it, if you want. Personally, I know that I never will learn to write english well, but the idea don´t bother me. That´s not the case with other idiomas.
I have no idea about german. Why don´t we learn chinese and see what happens??

changing the subject:

The Colón asamblea didn´t stop the cuts:
