Police Union: 'This is illegal, worse than it was under Franco' #spanishrevolution

The second biggest police union has publically accused the government of disobeying the law when ordering the desalojo of Sol. They have also explicitly offered their solidarity to the indignados of the 15M movement.

“These instructions, apart from being pathetic, are also illegal, and the delegate of the government should be the first to obey the law, to avoid a situation that is worse than it was under Franco.”

The police union points out that many officers have seen all their holidays suspended and lately have only had the opportunity to rest for three hours every day without knowing how long this situation will go on.

The last paragraph of the note reads: “We express our solidarity with the true indignados, because they are rightfully protesting. We also ask for their comprehension for our sometimes ungrateful work, and that they turn their criticism to those who are truly responsible, the politicians.”
