We already made a big banner, 12 meters long, demanding "ZONA CATASTROFICA, XA!" and we hanged it in Riazor (football stadium) taking advantage of the Depor-Juve match and all the foreign media there. I watched the recorded match at home and the panoramic shots of the crowd would stop exactly when reaching our banner. Other networks didn’t broadcast a single shot either and I can assure you, you could read it from the whole stadium. On the 1st of December there was a demonstration in Santiago to ask for "catastrophic zone". ON TV NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT". If a power popular movement doesn’t grow to support this it will soon be forgotten (even though some foreign papers are claming that this is the worst environmental disaster in the history of Europe)
