28A: On the Republican Front
progressive arguments and marked limitations. The need to build a new leftist and anti-capitalist alternative. The new line consists of: Free people, As Alternative y Pirates. The list, which will present candidates for deputies and senators, Albano Dante has Fachín, former secretary general of Podemos in Catalunya, as first list Barcelona.
The proposals agreed by its components are in the manifest: "Elections in Spain 28 April: should vote Republican, and radically democratic rupture ".
summarizing, some of its postulates are: democratic break with the Spanish State, '78 the regime and the monarchy; repealing Articles 155 Y 135 of the Constitution, the popular struggle for social justice, the confrontation to "Fabric of the IBEX 35" and freedom of political prisoners.
Reject "blackmail PSOE Pedro Sánchez
The FR has announced that in the Congress of Deputies will not support an endowment that does not defend freedom of political prisoners, Catalan self-determination, or prioritize the conquest of social rights. As for political parties, It is postulated to face “trifacho” PP, CS, VOX. rejected "Blackmail PSOE Pedro Sánchez" with its policy "Lesser evil" oriented and helpful vote is delimited by inconsequential and can defrauding those who had the illusion of following a tool change.
Front rejects the path of obedience and institutional traps "dialogue" Pedro Sánchez, to which gave ERC, PDeCAT-JxCAT, postulating "mobilization, organization and peaceful civil disobedience " as the only way towards the Catalan Republic; still make calls for unity of action.
Definitely, FR is also presented as a front "Rupturista and left". They are proposals that have raised some expectation among activists. Dante Fachín, main reference FR, He took a more radical position from 1-O which led to their break with can and Pablo Iglesias.
The recognition of this reality does not imply characterize the FR as the alternative is needed to achieve profound changes.
The recognition of this reality does not imply characterize the FR as the alternative is needed to achieve profound changes. We believe that the CUP and to some extent Anticapitalists, They could have called to put up a truly alternative project, leftist and socialist for the whole Spanish State, but unfortunately, this has not materialized.
Share FR criticisms formulated on Spanish democracy and justice. Nevertheless, We do not think it reaches the radical democracy to overcome. Needless to raise a transitional proposal to give out the exhausted parliamentary monarchical regime dyed Franco '78. It is essential to impose the unitary mobilization from below a Constituent Assembly Free and Sovereign, in which workers and peoples to discuss and decide on all economic and political issues affecting their lives. Only deputies vote, senators and president will not change anything.
from now, would achieve positive deputies in Congress to block the forces of 155 and IBEX 35. But this by itself, would not exceed the margins of the regime. Would effectively if a side point of call for general strike and mobilization of the entire working class and the peoples united, both Spain and Catalonia. In the field of internationalism some of its components pose anti-imperialist positions we share, but uncritically yield to the proposals of camping and governments who call themselves left, But they are not.
The FR is presented as an electoral tactic alliance, without anticapitalist strategic pose, nor for socialism, by a government of workers and the people. You are pose it later? Will you continue beyond the elections? Will they postulate as an alternative of struggle and organization throughout the State Spanish? We will see.
…It is raised the opportunity and the strategic need to build something new: an alternative anticapitalist, left, internationalist…
There is a sector of society that rejects the "trifacho" and the perpetuation of bipartisanship. Nevertheless, also expresses disappointment with the choices that arise as "Liberal or leftist" and then adapt the regime and the limits of capitalism. It is not surprising that in the inconsequence, there are people who evaluate abstain or nullify their vote as a sign of disagreement.
After all, the definition of the vote is a tactical question. Beyond this, the key is the opportunity and the strategic need to build is raised something new: an alternative anticapitalist, left, internationalist, social organizations, cultural and political progressives, Feminist groups, youth and consistent workers in the fight to turn around, as we drive from the international organization to integrate, Anticapitalist Network.
