--
Taking advantage the Day of the Innocent, a coordinator of activists fixes December 28 to celebrate the end of the capitalism. Taking like base the idea of Reclaim the streets that spread globally through the PGA, the first anticapitalism ilegal street party was made in Uruguay.

Past the noon the Ituzaingó street, next to the main square "Matriz", was occupied with a varied range of activities and proposals.
With a environment of banners and informative panels, with different topics, as, the genetic food, the education, the infantile work, the use of the bicycle, the land, the poverty (war against the poverty and not against the poor) they intersected the street with bicycles, plants and a small orchard.

The festival day began with very varied music and free food, fruits and organic vegetables, breads, cheeses and a salad of fruits that help to bear the intense sun who shone during all the day.

The celebration stood out by the varied thing: candombe, tango, dances, guitars and songs, games, juggling, marionettes, street theater. That they animated to young people, adults and several children who concurred during Reclaim the Streets.

The police presence, was not intense, they controlled the situation, but they allowed to occupy the street during 8 hours that the activity lasted, neither they were very lucky, to just as its comrades of Intendance, in finding an organizer for make responsible of the situation, since to the being an open action, all were invited and there were not identifiable heads.

Some individualized groups converged with their proposals, as Izquierda Revolucionaria, a political group that took a big anti-capitalism missile, and they distributed flyers against the Bush's war and against the capitalism.
Others that participated actively were the 'Union of Street Artists' who adorned the street party, with marionettes, theater and guitars.
