Catalonia: the claim for the Republic is still alive
The 11S Day showed that the last word is not said. He "dialogue" of Pedro Sánchez does not include self-determination or amnesty.
The partners of the Govern they go for a retained autonomy. The popular demand is for independence. On all continents tensions are heightened, there are claims and rebellions. It is urgent to build new anti-capitalist left alternatives. In the perspective of a background exit.
The Day of 9/11 was once again a great day of struggle. It was summoned by the ANC, Omnium Cultural, the Association of Municipalities for Independence and other organizations under the motto “Let's fight and win independence ". The dominant sentiment was expressed in the posters: “Enough of puppet politicians. Independence is not required, Is taken", "We demand independence". The claim for the Republic lives on.
Despite the pandemic
In the morning an ARRAN act was held in tribute to Gustau Muñoz, assassinated by repression during the transition. Activities continued in He Fossar de les Moreres, Plaza Urquinaona, Via Laietana, France Station, El Born and other places in Catalonia. The restrictions and fears of Covid-19 are still going through. The independence movement is divided. Like that and everything, thousands and thousands of people returned to win the streets with star flags. There were no 600 thousand people present before the pandemic. Despite this, it was a massive mobilization.
Uncomfortable
The day was developed between questions to ERC about the usefulness of the "Dialogue Table" with the Spanish government. They wanted to take advantage of it based on their own interests. The Minister of the Presidency, Laura Vilagrà (ERC) He expressed it by saying: "We need to go to the negotiating table with all the strength of the people of Catalonia". They don't seem to have made it. He president Pere Aragonés received boos when he joined the demonstration. The same thing happened to Oriol Junqueras recently released from prison when he spoke in the Fossar de les Moreres. It was no coincidence that the organizers avoided the presence of officials at the head of the march.
Nuances
Laura Borràs (JxCat), president of the Parliament expressed that the “Mesa” will serve to see "What is the value of the word" by Pedro Sánchez and what "Their legs will not shake" before the goberment. The president of the ANC, Elisenda Paluzie, I affirm that: "Self-determination is not begged, It is exerted", and raised “President, make independence ". El presidente of All Cultural, Jordi Cuixart, recently pardoned, it also showed critical of the majority political formations.
Above the nuances and divisions, even if they are partial. Regardless of it, what is clear, is that the claim for freedom is still alive. Hence the mistrust and questioning of those who put aside the mandate of 1-O. Of which those who hold ambiguous positions are not exempt.
Contradiction
The CUP summoned the Independence Left to march from Plaza Urquinaona to Plaza Comercial, next to the Born Cultural Center. An important act was held there under the motto "Neither pacts nor resignations, the struggle is the only way" of which we participate. The CUP formulates criticism and calls for the struggle based on vindicating itself as anti-capitalist. Nevertheless, supports the agreements reached with ERC that allowed the investiture of Pere Aragonés and give stability to his management. It is worth asking, is it possible to be consistent without going to the frank and independent opposition of the bourgeois government?? In our opinion, it is not. It is a contradiction that the CUP would have to overcome.
Rates, wages, The field
In the immediate term, it is necessary to support the struggles, mainly against increases in the rate of electricity, for better wages, working conditions and pensions. Against the pollution that the El Prat expansion project would bring. Momentarily is discontinued. But it cannot be ruled out that it is only a sporadic circumstance of the negotiations.. He 19 of September, you have to give it a not forceful to the expansion of the airport.
New political alternative
The adaptation of United We Can to the ‘ 78, raises the need and the opportunity to set up a new political alternative. Left, anticapitalist, of class independence, that encourages and supports the struggles. That it brings together those who seek a new path to defeat the right and the extreme right throughout the Spanish State. The confluence of the Social Revolutionaries could give impetus to these objectives.
Reality shows that you cannot place trust in the government of "Progressive coalition" PSOE-UP headed by Pedro Sánchez, nor in the partners of Govern. Less on the cheat "Dialogue Table" what are they riding. You can only trust the people mobilized and organized, calling for self-determination and amnesty, proudly claiming the 1-O.
Ongoing rebellion
The mobilizations, strikes and rebellions that are repeated in the world at different times, They are indicative of what is to come. A post pandemic with more polarization and struggles. In a world in turmoil that the powerful can't control. Everything must be turned around so that the capitalists pay for the crisis and not the peoples. Everything on the way to the emergence of new leaders and organizations willing to fight for a substantive exit: socialism with democracy.
