MALLORCA TODAY - Pollensa protest against the Partido Popular

Parties from the left, the PSM socialists, the Republican Left and the Alternativa, are to join with the "indignados" and the "union of students of the Catalan lands" in forming a platform against the Partido Popular and staging a protest against the PP in Pollensa on 29 June. Partly, this is coming about because of the fines levied against protesters when President Bauzá visited in May, but it is also a consequence of government cuts and "rights to public space" (which may relate to all the Plaça Major rumpus). The protest is being described as a "cacerolada", and I confess I don't know what this means, or rather I do because the word is more or less the same in English - casserole, or more specifically a casserole event. Perhaps they're planning on cooking a PP politician.
