500 thousand people shouting Freedom!
On Sunday 15A the #Catalan Spring dyed the streets. workers, pensioners, women and entire families dressed in yellow ribbons, they hoisted their stellar flags and raised posters demanding respect for elementary democratic rights.
The call was made by the Espacio y Convivencia platform. In it converged: UGT, CC.OO., ANC, Omnium, Union of Farmers, Neighborhood Associations of Catalonia (CONFAVC), the Federation of Associations of Fathers and Mothers of Catalonia (FAPAC), the Union of Sports Federations of Catalonia (UFEC), JxCat, PDeCAT, ERC, democrats, CUP and the commons. It is necessary to highlight the presence of the CDRs that are neither violent nor terrorist, how they falsely accuse them. Our young organization, Anti-Capitalist Portal, also participated in the mobilization with their flags and flyers, expressing the opinions and political proposals that we support. For sure, the broad spectrum of conveners allowed a massive attendance.
Among the most important definitions in the document agreed by the organizers were: the "unitary defense of Catalan institutions and the right of Catalans to decide their future” and the "firm commitment to the result of 21D”. They also claimed that: "Political problems must be solved in the political sphere and through dialogue and negotiation" and the "freedom of all imprisoned politicians and leaders, as well as the return of the exiles”.
Thousands and thousands of people in the streets, They continue to show that the last word has not been said. M.Rajoy, Judge Pablo Llarena, the constitutional regime of '78, the PP, Citizens and their accomplices, they should take note that the Catalan people are still standing and have not been defeated.
It cannot be hidden that the call does not contain all the demands required by the current repressive situation, nor does it claim the Republic. Even some of its main conveners maintain a mistaken position equidistant from the 155 and the independence movement. They are not trifles, Nevertheless, beyond the political differences with the conveners, it is clear that the unit of action for the mobilization with agreed points, even if they are partial, It is the way forward to achieve massiveness and strength for the freedom of political prisoners.
After 15A an agenda of struggles is marked. Monday 16 the Pensioner Tide will mobilize in a Day of State Struggle for the Public Pension System. By Thursday 26 a student general strike is called. Y, in the meantime, at El Prat Airports (Barcelona) and decks (Madrid) The fight of the #Lote22 workers against the employers of Pansfood and Aena continues. Actions must be supported for them to succeed.
The fact that CC.OO. and UGT have called to mobilize in Barcelona generated debates in factories and workplaces where both pro-independence and non-independence workers coexist. We consider it an error that the demand for the release of political prisoners and the cessation of the 155. If they break the will of Catalan self-determination, tomorrow they will go against the working class that goes on strike, against pensioners and marching women and against other peoples oppressed by the kingdom. In the end, bourgeois governments, exploiters and oppressors unite against those below.
We believe that it is necessary to continue with the massive mobilizations and that the big step would be the call of the union centrals to the general strike, with a fight plan until defeating the reactionary offensive.
