Occupy Wall Street protesters marched to the vicinity of New York’s stock market to commemorate the two-month anniversary of its founding. Last Tuesday, the police evicted the encampment at Zuccotti Park.

Hundreds of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators walked today again toward Wall Street, two days after the security forces evicted their camp at Zuccotti Park in New York.

The movement used social media over the Internet to call for a protest against the financial district of the city, in what would become one of the largest protest activities organized up until now.

The police have increased security measures surrounding Wall Street, which in turn, was already cordoned off two months ago. Both fences and the riot police have denied the protesters access to the heart of the financial district, while those who turned up to work had to face severe controls.

Occupy Wall Street has been protesting since mid-September against the financial power of the banks and in favor of greater social justice. Michael Bloomberg, New York City’s mayor, demanded last Tuesday the clearance of the initial encampment at Zuccotti Park.

As of right now, it’s not clear what the movement’s future will be after this eviction. With winter coming, some demonstrators assume that protests may even decrease temporarily.


Cientos de “indignados” vuelven a concentrarse en Wall Street

Manifestantes de "Occupy Wall Street” marcharon hacia las inmediaciones de la Bolsa de Nueva York para conmemorar los dos meses de su fundación. El martes pasado la policía desalojó un campamento en el parque Zuccotti.

Cientos de manifestantes “indignados” marcharon nuevamente hoy en dirección a Wall Street, dos días después de que las fuerzas de seguridad desalojara el campamento del movimiento "Occupy Wall Street” en el parque Zuccotti de Nueva York.

El movimiento llamó a través de las redes sociales en Intenet a bloquear el distrito financiero de la ciudad, en lo que podría convertirse en una de las mayores acciones de protesta organizadas hasta el momento.

La policía reforzó las medidas de seguridad en torno a la Bolsa de Nueva York, que de por sí ya se encuentra acordonada desde hace dos meses. Vallas y policías con uniforme antidisturbios cerraron a los manifestantes el acceso al corazón del distrito financiero, mientras aquellos que acudían a sus puestos de trabajo tenían que someterse a severos controles.

"Occupy Wall Street" protesta desde mediados de septiembre contra el poder de los bancos y a favor de mayor justicia social. El alcalde de Nueva York, Michael Bloomberg, ordenó en la noche del martes desalojar el campamento inicial en el parque Zuccotti.

Por el momento no está claro cuál será el futuro del movimiento después del desalojo. Ante la llegada del invierno, algunos manifestantes estiman que las protestas podrían reducir su ritmo aunque sea temporalmente.
