"El mío es un derecho constitucional. Si quiero ir a Taksim debo poder entrar", protestaba, frente a un muro de uniformados, Güven Gürkan Öztan, profesor de Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad de Estambul. Todo fue en vano. Ni él, ni cientos de personas más, pudieron escapar del atolladero en el que la Policía, por orden de un desafiante primer ministro Erdogan, convirtió en un sábado tarde el centro de la ciudad.

The Greenpeace ship Esperanza has arrived in the Arctic to stop Norwegian oil firm Statoil from drilling the world's northern-most well.
Esperanza arrived on Thursday, ahead of Statoil's Transocean Spitsbergen rig, which was heading to the site.
The Norwegian authorities had previously removed seven Greenpeace protesters who had boarded the oil rig on 27 May, while another eight protestors left voluntarily.
Greenpeace Arctic campaigner Sune Scheller said: "The Esperanza is a small ship but we are determined to stay on top of this drilling site and stop Statoil from risking Bear Island."
"Arctic oil drilling is risky, it is dangerous, and it must be stopped."

A subsidiary of Vision Technologies Systems (VT Systems)VT Halter Marine has constructed and delivered the ocean-going articulated tug barge (ATB) to Bouchard Transportation.
The 112ft by 35ft by 17ft Denise A. Bouchard tug is equipped with an intercon coupler system and is classified as an A1 towing vessel, dual mode.
VT Halter Marine started the construction in March 2013, and the keel was laid two months later at its Moss Point Marine plant in Escatawpa, Mississippi, US.
Work on the ATB tug commenced in February this year at the same facility.
The Denise A. Bouchard will join Bouchard's existing ATB 80,000 barrel, as part of the company's fleet expansion strategy.
