Reclaim The Streets II - Finland
Streets have been reclaimed again in Finland on saturday 9th of august.
This time in Tampere, the largest town after Helsinki.
1200 people blocked a major street near the railway station
and the party kicked on from 12 to 6 pm after which we had
a break before the all-night RTS-continuation party at the
beach just a mile from the town center. The Police had said
earlier that week that "because the Helsinki-RTS (17.5.1997)
had been 'so peacefull' there would be no police intervention
recuired" [they didn't know why to arrest us]. This time the
media was there and we got our message through though the
local paper wrote next morning that "the RTS-party had not
troubled the traffic" ["Your resistance is futile - submit!"].
Are they trying to challenge us - should we perhaps block
the whole town center next time...
