Pacheco Torre: Racist attacks must be stopped

Attacks on migrants reflect the violence of a racist campaign promoted throughout the Spanish State by Vox and the PP. mobilizations and general strike so that the crisis is paid by those who generated it, from the government, It is also responsible. It is urgent to join the working class against capitalism that divides it. You have to stop the ultra -right, barbarism germ.

Repudiable aggression and beginning of a true racist hunt

The immediate cause that served as a pretext for racist incidents in Torre Pacheco was the aggression of a group of young people to a neighbor of 68 years, hit on the ground and hospitalized. It was a miserable act, for which foreigners were pointed out, Unleashing ambush organized against migrants. Extreme right groups starred attacks and threats in neighborhoods with the Maghreb and Sub -Saharan population. Even the police itself recognizes that these are organized groups that travel the streets with motorcycles and bates to "hunt" immigrants.

They are racist pogroms, encouraged by ultra -right and spoiled by institutions that look the other way.

Extreme right groups

The material responsible for these attacks are extreme right groups that feel unpunished, They have political coverage, ideological and media and that have been strengthened from hate speeches that acquire social base, especially among discarded or lumpenized young people.

In Spanish neighborhoods and towns abandoned by public services, no employment or future perspectives, The extreme right sows its false speech: "Immigrants take everything away", "You have to defend ourselves", "They are criminals", "You have to throw them away".

The calls to make aggressions were also encouraged with xenophobic messages published on social networks.

Hate promoters

The EU authorities have assumed policies promoted by ultra -right, Like Orbán or Meloni, raising a "strength" in the service of imperialist and racist capitalism. In Spain, Vox and the PP are responsible for the racist offensive: Vox agitates the ghost of a "migratory invasion" and proposes massive expulsions and militarization. The PP assumes its ideology and governs in Murcia with the support of Vox, cutting rights. They manufacture racism to hide that the real problem is capitalism.

mobilizations and general strike so that the crisis is paid by those who generated it: Institutional hypocrisy

PSOE's immigration policy is not progressive: Maintain hot returns, Racial profile rates, Criminalization and the same Foreigner Law. Share the vision of immigration as a "Security problem" and responds to racist attacks with more police or calling for calm, without facing the causes or those responsible. Its warmth and complicity reinforce the institutional racism that feeds the reaction and makes a "Capitalism with human face".

The cultivation broth: The crisis and racism in capitalism

Racist violence in Torre Pacheco is the result of years of deindustrialization, precariousness and impoverishment. Murcia suffers structural poverty and inequality, and immigrants -ultra -exploited agricultural workmen- They are the ideal scapegoat. Decadent capitalism does not give well -being or future, And racism is used to divide the working class. No revolutionary alternative, Vox and the PP sow hate and prepare the path to barbarism.

Face them with self -defense and a revolutionary alternative

Faced with this critical situation, it is necessary to raise an organized anti -capitalist political response. There is strength to do so since polarization does not express only the rise of ultra -right but also rebellions, mobilizations and the revulsive of broad social sectors towards the most reactionary.

It is necessary to build the unity of the working class in the fight against racism, patterns and their governments. Workers, natives, They share the same exploitation and oppression conditions. The directions of the majority workers of UGT and CC.OO. They have the responsibility of convening mobilizations in defense of migrants, and to break its complicity with the regime parties.

Workers' self -defense against fascist bands is a necessity. We cannot allow racist pogroms such as those of Torre Pacheco or that the popular neighborhoods are under the terror of ultras. We must organize defense committees in the workers' neighborhoods, coordinated with neighborhood associations, migrant groups and combative unions.

And you have to break the capital parties, direct responsible for hate climate. Out vox and the PP of power! It is they who promote, They legitimize and execute racist policies that are at the base of this situation.

We demand full labor rights, sanitary, educational and political for all workers. Enough of raids, hot returns and repressive centers! Below the immigration law, papers, democratic and social rights for all already!

The fight against racism must be a struggle for real equality, No distinctions between workers, and for the end of all laws and structures that sustain institutional discrimination.

We have to build a new political alternative that is raised against Vox and the PP, instead of the PSOE and its reformist partners who never appeal to the mobilization of the working people. The institutional left is limited to administering a regime that feeds hatred.

You have to defeat the ultra -right with the Unique Workers Front and building strong revolutionary socialist parties. The popular fronts or the tibiezas of the reformists do not serve, functional to power. We need a class independence strategy, that bets on the workers take in their hands the fate of the country. The background exit is to govern workers and socialism.

What is happening in Torre Pacheco is a serious alarm signal: If we do not respond with organization and struggle, The future will be marked by hate, Violence and ultra -right -wing barbarism. What is expressed today as immigrant hunter bands can become a paramilitary squadrons tomorrow tolerated by the State.
