Venezuela: In defense of class autonomy should prevail in ITV. Neither Maduro nor Guaidó
ITV emerged as a space of articulation of the struggles of workers. In the second half of last year, a sector of Venezuelan workers began to mobilize in response to government policies Nicolas Maduro, which imposed the urgent need for the emergence of an organism to articulate apuntase, organize and develop all those struggles that had been giving nationwide.
That perspective was the great virtue of the Intersectoral Workers of Venezuela (ITV), that would enshrine its premises, since that would achieve remain a body of the working class, autonomously and independently in a vital fight for a vast majority of the population that has suffered huge blows the total liquidation of important achievements related to salary, the purchasing power of workers, collective contracts or respect for trade unions, Today eliminated "de facto" not to bend bureaucracy madurista.
In that sense, documents from the founding event of the ITV, conducted on 7 Y 8 November 2018, with the support of many workers in different states, approval of a proclamation and a control plans and action was achieved, which partially met, which highlights that made up the day 28 the same month by the University of Caracas Avenue.
Class autonomy. Condition to save ITV
Year 2019 It began with a political offensive by the right wing opposition in An, putting on stage output Maduro delegitimized government through a subterfuge interpretation of CRBV and the possibility of foreign military intervention with the US in command of the same. No doubt for ITV would be a great challenge from many angles, especially to stay involved in the framework of the harsh reality we passed workers, always acting from the beginning , where autonomy and independence of class is essential, Moreover, he is knowing the plurality reflecting composition.
All previous, It is very important to put it in context to warn of the liquidator acting experience which means that a major part dequienes direct the ITV, intend to place this space of the working class under the command of Juan Guaidó plans, under the argument that it would be their contribution to help, according to them, to cease usurping government of Maduro and thus outline the efforts for Juan Guaidó and all the compromise orchestrated by Donald Trump and the Group of Lima, which they are factors of power of transnational capital with which the working class also has no outlet and whose interests, like the dome madurista, They revolve around a dispute that is given on the basis that the crisis continue to pay workers, those who do not have provoked.
From Socialist Tide with other factors that contribute to raising left the ITV, we have insisted on the need to discuss the overall political situation in Venezuela and see what level we could achieve synthesis set and from there to advance the design of future struggles, understanding that the challenge of ITV is becoming another factor that can speak to the country, from the perspective of workers and popular sectors. The calamitous situation of workers currently has the primary responsibility to the government of Maduro, but the "Plan Country" presented Guaidó condemns workers to continue to suffer the consequences of the crisis, besides being accompanied by an interventionist plan which we oppose.
26F plenary defaced in its goal
After strong and tough debates and discussions, we agreed to conduct a plenary for the day 26 February, where the initial consensus was two central points: Discussion of situation and subsequent development of an action plan on workbenches.
The union leaderships that act steering and figure of the ITV desdibujaro the meeting and disrespecting agreements, her character, Not only that it was changed at the last minute, but it ended up being a whole to which members of other bodies such as the Frente Amplio or platform joined Conflict, making it an occasion for delirium "Guaidista" where the same who call themselves "union leaders" were the most discursive comparsa that blurred all sense of class ITV, giving way to an event that ended certifying the unreliability of some pseudo labor leaders have on workers as political subjects and clearly showing which are the reflections of those who are accustomed to bureaucratic convenience of being in union office, but they are unable to carry out real discussions with coworkers.
Plan Country of Guaidó, is the structuring of other authoritarian proposal, antidemocratic and elitist, where workers have nothing to look, It is rather we must prepare to face before a possible application with the same layout as we do against PSUV settings-Military-Government, so, who speaks from an alleged status as leader of the workers and say that the pole is coordinated from the United States is an alternative way out of the quagmire, is doing something similar to what the bureaucrats of the Bolivarian Socialist Workers Central (CSBT) whose role of scabs is another piece on which the castration of the Venezuelan trade union movement that makes him much favor corrupt policies supported domes.
Right now raise the slogans "Stop" or "general strike" not make clear that workers must be neither mature nor with Guaidó, is rendering him the second and headed for an impasse where the efforts of our class brothers who end up being capitalized from its privileged economic conditions act and make their interests that are totally antagonistic to ours. That is the great danger at this time hovering over ITV and that most of its spokesmen have become perpetrators.
Marea Socialista ITV will continue to intervene in the autonomy of the working class
From Marea Socialista do this alert and call for the vast majority of the population survives barely wages, to be able to rely only on ourselves while the provision should always be to organize ourselves with true exercise of democracy and workers' and people prepare to break out of a false polarization that only brings poison and perpetuation of our ills.
It is having been members of the founding of the ITV defend the fact that in Venezuela a space of workers with class autonomy arises. Just as we are opposed to the actions of the leadership of the CSBTT hambreadoras being executors of policies and liquidators of labor rights, Maduro government scabs, We oppose adamantly that the ITV few union leaders seeking to become the platform to support the interventionist policy, warmongering and bourgeois Guaidó.
Marea Socialista calls workers to fight together to form an organization of autonomous working class. Program for the working class.
In the immediate future we important struggles such as the amparo introduced by our organization before the Supreme Court to ensure compliance provisions in order to fight for a wage as established by Article. 91 the CRBV, wage equal to the basket, that exceeds the 300 dollars a month, while the government maintains a minimum monthly wage of 5 dollars a month. Also to achieve a sovereign outlet and avoid war through a consultative referendum, with a new CNE to re-legitimize public authorities are participating in the Alliance for the Consultative Referendum. The struggle for the working class is Power, we must promote the mobilization and organization. That is the call that you make from Marea Socialista. Come and stay organized with us.
