    Dos horas y media para que comience la votación. Wikipedia sigue apagada en protesta.

    Last call, literally: Help and call your MEP within the next 4 hours. Urge them not to ignore experts' warnings and to vote NO on the Copyright Directive mandate today to give it the full public debate it deserves:

    Hoy han estado cerradas las Wikipedias en catalán, español, estonio, euskera, gallego, italiano, letón y polaco. Y con avisos en inglés, búlgaro y húngaro. Porque Wikipedia es un proyecto de todos, multilingüe y libre, y quiere seguir siéndolo.

    Wikimedia envisions an Internet that does not have filters and blocks. The current EU proposal contradicts this vision.
