put the lap resistance (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]

The Iberian social and labor movement is a victim of a repressive wave that raises the 
specter of the dark days of the Franco regime. In Spain but also in France via United, 
resistance was organized. ---- Facing the crackdown carried by the Spanish State, an 
anti-repression Solidarity Network was established at the initiative of several 
class-struggle unions Peninsula - SGC, LAB[1] CUT[2] Solidaridad Obrera[3], Confederación 
Intersindical[4] ASSI[5]. A round of public meetings and meetings in several cities took 
place with the highlight of a national day of action Saturday, November 24, 2014. ---- The 
antirépression this particular tour guide having the magnitude of the repressive frenzy: 
"There are tens of thousands of people with fines to pay, over a thousand people still 
continued and hundreds with jail threats.»

action from the year 2012: Asturian miners' strike in the summer or different general 
strike days in 2012, but also anti shares -expulsions housing as part of the movement 
desahucios Stop (Stop evictions). Merely participate as supporting a picket line also 
becomes a crime and people are being prosecuted for that reason. ---- Mid-December:

repression and for the rejection of the Ley Mordaza. As such, it considers, in the winter
