ROME Demonstration

Thousands of people took part in the general and social strike demonstration on 20 May in Rome against the war, the war economy and the war government, called by grassroots and conflictive trade unionism. USI CIT, among the initiating unions together with CUB, Cobas Sardegna, Adl Varese, Unicobas, Sgb, started a united path of struggle that led to a national assembly on 9 April in Milan and on 8 May to the occupation of Viale delle Province in Rome, opening up to the participation and contribution of many other organisations of grassroots trade unionism, workers, women workers and pensioners who have joined the active social realities, committees, associations present in the territories, such as the No Muos movement in Sicily, the Movement for the Right to Housing in Rome, the Regional Health Coordination (RM), the Antimilitarist Assembly, the Kurdistan Italy Network, Mothers for Rome Open City, etc.

On the 20th of May, presences, leafleting and demonstrations took place all over the country, in about 24 cities and towns, Milan, Trieste, Monfalcone, Cagliari, Palermo, Naples and beyond. In particular, the demonstration in Rome had an important presence of USI CIT with delegations from the sections of USI CIT Roma Pinelli, USI CIT Perugia – Trasimeno and Unione Contadina – USI CIT, which participated from the unitary truck and demonstrated together with other libertarian realities that were present.

The decision to take sides and participate in the ongoing conflict in the centre of Europe by sending (secret) arms, the record reached in our country of military expenses and servitude, the VAT annulled on arms, and more clearly demonstrated the intention not to facilitate the diplomatic way to solve the disputes. Spending diverted from urgent social needs, such as health, education, emergency housing, environment, transport, restrictions on freedom of association and freedom to strike, combined with war inflation, will only further worsen the living conditions of workers, pensioners, students and the general public, who are struggling to recover from two years of pandemic and the ongoing economic crisis.

Once again, the cost of living and the economic and social consequences will add to the already difficult situations of the working classes, and funds for arms and defence will be taken away from the world of work and young people, among whom precariousness and unemployment have become a growing constant.

In the self-organised streets from below on 20 May we gave voice to our opposition to the war, the economy and the government of war, a voice silenced by the mainstream media, because it is our conviction that welfare is a right and not a privilege.

Good fight to all!

MILAN demonstration

The rank-and-file and conflictive trade unions promoting the general strike on 20 May marched from Largo Cairoli with the nationally agreed banner at the head of all the demonstrations of the day: Out of the war/Wage increases and social spending.

The united truck positioned itself at the exit, playing music and chants of struggle from the amplifiers, interspersed with speeches informing about the content of the shared platform. Other trucks, from individual organisations, performed similar functions. It was a very lively and very participatory procession, with slogans shouted against those responsible for the war and for the rights of the working class, coloured by the numerous banners of the participating rank and file unions, from CUB, SGB, Adl Varese, USB, the numerous Cobas organisations, from SI Cobas to Sol Cobas. Especially in the logistics sector, many workers stayed in the morning to picket the warehouses where there were ongoing disputes. The comrades of the USI CIT with their banners positioned themselves behind the banner reading ‘Revolutionary energy/ Against states, wars and capital’ together with the comrades of the Fai Milano and other libertarian components, promoting a red/black picket. There were a few flags of the Cub railway workers, who adopted the red/black colours with the wobbly inscription. Some USI comrades wore caps with the symbol of the Italian trade union and the cat to protect them from the sun. There were also those who distributed the newspaper Umanità Nova along the route, which had on its front page an article by one of our comrades about the strike.

There were also banners in the procession indicating the labour sectors or the location. There were banners of pacifist, environmental and cultural associations, as well as banners and flags of left-wing political parties and groups. The procession was a serpentine one with several thousand participants who walked through the streets of the centre, flanking Piazza Del Duomo until they reached Via Pantano, under the headquarters of Assalombarda where the final speeches were made. Cremaschi took the floor to greet the strikers and the demonstrators against the war, against the government which is in fact participating in it and increasing military expenditure while salaries and pensions are being penalised by the constant rise in the cost of living as a result of the war.

A representative of the CUB then spoke, highlighting the numerous demonstrations taking place all over Italy, the result of the united strike of grassroots trade unionism, not as an end point, but with the prospect of continuing the journey with the same united strength. A representative of USI CIT spoke, pointing out how all the media had put on their helmets in support of the war government. A government which, if it thinks it can silence us with an annual bonus of 200 euros, is simply ridiculous and which, to testify to its vocation for war, finds nothing better than to proclaim a day in memory of the Alpine troops on the anniversary of their aggression in the second war against Ukraine itself. So while he condemns Ukraine’s current aggression, he is rewarding our military for the same. This was followed by an intervention by an SGB representative, who reiterated the united course of the strike, especially in terms of the same content. This was followed by an intervention by Slai Cobas.

On 20 May there was a strike and a demonstration against the greatest injustice that governments and employers can impose on us: that of a war brought to the heart of Europe, which, like all wars, causes the killing of innocent people, destruction and populations forced to flee. They talk about defending democracy, but they hide their dirty interests in the grabbing of energy sources such as gas and oil, interests that are taken by the industrialists and arms dealers who stoke the fires because they make maximum profits from wars.

There have been strikes and demonstrations against the war economy. They talk about sanctions, but the sanctions are only paid for by the workers, pensioners and the unemployed who are forced to suffer uncontrolled price rises and job losses.

There were strikes and demonstrations against the war government, which participates by sending weapons that encourage the massacres already underway, which sends military missions to war zones, which decides to increase military spending while cutting social spending, which proposes a return to coal instead of the ecological transition promised because of the war.

All this brings us closer to the possibility of a third world war with catastrophic consequences for the whole of humanity.

This strike and these mobilisations that have taken place all over Italy have finally seen all the ranks of grassroots and conflict trade unionism united, sending a strong and important signal against the war and the interests that sustain it, against military spending and in favour of necessary social spending. Above all to demand adequate wages and pensions, the restoration of the escalator, the guarantee of an adequate income for all.

This is only the beginning, because the united way will continue in mobilisations until the just demands are adequately met.

Thousands in BOLOGNA against war

Today a general and social strike called by the rank and file and conflictive trade unionism, which was attended by thousands of workers, political and social solidarity realities, average students fighting against the alternation of school and work, Palestinian youth and many, many others at the Bologna square joined to say No to the war. Stores and production centres closed, schools closed, local public transport stopped, tens of thousands of people on our territory joined the strike against the war, the war economy and the war government, yes to the increase of social expenses.

More than twenty squares were mobilised simultaneously all over Italy with demonstrations and garrisons in front of NATO military bases.

The demonstration in Bologna started from Piazza XX Settembre with a banner carried by the workers of the organising trade unions that read: No war, increase wages and social spending.

The demonstration continued along Via Amendola and Via Marconi, where, in front of the trade union headquarters of the Cisl and CGIL, there was a succession of speeches by workers who underlined the importance of the general strike and condemned the trade union policies aimed at not upsetting the Draghi government, the government of war, despite the fact that the vast majority of workers throughout the country are in favour of an immediate end to cobelligerence.

In Via Barberia they also protested against Confindustria, which is trying to make the workers pay the price for the crisis and the war economy.

The demonstration ended under the windows of the City Hall where the party of war, responsible for an unprecedented attack on the living conditions of the popular sectors destined to pay for its belligerent madness, governs.

All speeches emphasised the great participation in the strike and demonstration, the unity of action against the war and the necessity to continue mobilising on the following slogans

– immediate cessation of arms shipments to Ukraine;

– immediate ceasefire

– cutting military spending and transferring these resources to schools, transport and public health care

– freezing the prices of basic necessities (foodstuffs such as bread and pasta, electricity, water and gas tariffs, etc.);

– introduction of the escalator: automatic adjustment of wages to price increases;

– reduction of working hours for the same wages and a new freeze on redundancies to contain the next waves of unemployment.

– a decent social income for all unemployed people

OUT OF THE WAR IN ITALY

Increase wages and social spending

grassroots and conflictual trade unions

REGGIO EMILIA demonstration for the general strike against the war, the war economy, the government of war

More than 250 people animated the procession that started from Porta Santa Croce and went along Via Roma, Via Emilia, Via Vittorio Veneto, Stradone del Vescovado and Piazza San Prospero, enveloping the city centre on a sunny and market morning. A communicative procession opened by the grassroots trade unions, and animated by the numerous associations and individuals who handed out leaflets, launched slogans, performed and intervened along the route. The interventions in Piazza San Prospero at the end of the route were clear and decisive. Neither with Putin nor with NATO, on the side of the peoples who suffer from wars, for a future without armies and borders, for more investment in social policies and the abolition of military spending. Against the patriarchal model that finds its expression and reproduction in war. In support of deserters and deserters from all wars.

The strike was also reflected in the world of work: several schools closed, good support in municipalities and provinces, in services such as universities, public transport and health. Entire classes outside schools and blockades in some local enterprises.

Political and social realities in the area participated in the strike support committee: Alternativa Libertaria Reggio Emilia – Independent Architects – Antimilitarist Assembly of Reggio Emilia – Circolo “Giovanna Caleffi” Bassa Reggiana – LouiseMichel Collective – Amata Rossa Choir of Casa Bettola – Popular Kitchens – Libertarian Women – Anarchist Federation of Reggio Emilia – FAI – Humans-Feminism, Lgbtq and More Reggio Emilia – Free Assange Movement Reggio Emilia – Non Una di Meno – Reggio Emilia – Party of Communist Refoundation, Reggio Emilia section – R. E.C.E. of Reggio Emilia – R.E.C. – Reggio Emilia in the Municipality – Section of the Italian Left of Reggio Emilia – They Romanò Reggio Emilia – A group of members of the CGIL of Reggio Emilia.

The day continued at 4 p.m. at Porta San Pietro with the planting of two cherry trees for Paride Allegri, partisan, pacifist and anti-militarist who played an important role in all the strikes organised by grassroots trade unionism since the 1990s.

At 6 p.m. in Piazza Prampolini, the initiative Artist* for Peace, Music of Struggle and Movements was very much appreciated and managed to involve a large audience and onlookers.

Then the Amata Rossa Choir of the Casa Bettola closed the event amidst collective singing and applause.

The long day of strike ended with a dinner for the strikers at the Circolo Berneri, with 100 bottles of bright red

Amazon despide a una delegada sindical de Inicjatywa Pracownicza. ¡Haz que Amazon lo pague!
El 9 de noviembre de 2021, Amazon Polonia entregó un aviso de despido a Magda Malinowska, que ha trabajado durante 6 años en su almacén de Sady, cerca de Poznan. Magda era representante sindical e inspectora de salud y seguridad elegida por los miembros del sindicato.  El despido fue aún más grave teniendo en cuenta que se llevó a cabo tras unas reclamaciones del sindicato que fueron presentadas por escrito.  Como inspectora de seguridad e higiene, Magda participó en la investigación de la muerte de uno de sus compañeros, que falleció en su puesto de trabajo en septiembre de 2021.

  • Attack on FAL’s Madrid office!
 
Authoritarians go against anarchist ideas!

Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) is a foundation established by CNT to preserve the rich history of the libertarian movement in Spain and to promote anarchist ideas and culture. It has a bookshop, a lecture hall and meeting rooms and a library in downtown Madrid. If you’ve ever been to town, you may have visited, as it’s a well-known reference in libertarian circles nationwide.

This office of FAL has been attacked. Last Monday, we discovered that someone’s authoritarian drive had been busy during the weekend.

Whoever it was, their efforts were focused on rendering the lock unusable and smashing the front glass. They used spray paint, glue and other materials and picks or hammers. This level of preparation shows a great deal of intent. We’d wish that they devoted similar efforts to achieve important goals, like social justice or class solidarity.

Let’s be clear, this is an attack on anarchist ideas carried out in a fascist-like manner. What would be the point, otherwise, in acting against bookshelves and a lecture hall?

Libertarian ideas, books and culture have been attacked. It is obvious that whoever carried this act out are not regulars at our events… if they were, they would have read, listened and debated and would not have allowed themselves to be manipulated into this wanton act.

Needless to say, we condemn this attack. Luckily, only material damage has been inflicted. The Fundacion is open again, though we still have some tidy-up to do.

As usual, as always, we forge ahead with positive, constructive action.

  • ¡Atacada la sede de FAL en Madrid!

¡Agresión autoritaria contra la cultura anarquista!

La Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) es una organización dependiente de CNT para la conservación de la rica historia del movimiento libertario y la divulgación del pensamiento, la cultura y las ideas anarquistas. Cuenta con una librería, salón de actos, salas de reuniones y biblioteca en el centro de Madrid. Es probable que la conozcas, si alguna vez has visitado la ciudad, porque es un referente en el panorama libertario peninsular.

Pues bien, esta sede de la Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo ha sido atacada. El pasado lunes nos encontramos con que el ánimo destructivo de alguien estuvo muy activo el fin de semana.

Volcaron sus esfuerzos en romper la cerradura y destruir el cristal de la fachada con pintura y picos, lo que demuestra que se habían preparado. Ojalá se preparasen igual para luchar por cosas importantes como la justicia social o la solidaridad.

Un ataque a la Cultura Libertaria con maneras que son propias de fascistas, pero que parecen proliferar. ¿Qué sentido puede tener atacar un lugar presidido por estanterías con libros y espacios de difusión, si no es así?

Un ataque a la Cultura, al mundo de los libros y del pensamiento libertario. Está claro que quienes han llevado el ataque no pueden ser personas ‘asiduas’ de la Fundación… habrían leído, escuchado y discutido, y no se dejarían manipular por esa violencia sin sentido.

Por supuesto, condenamos la acción y sus consecuencias, afortunadamente solo materiales. Y ya volvemos a estar en marcha, arreglándolo todo… ya sabéis, la obra siempre constructiva.

  • Comunicado de prensa del sindicato FAU: delegación de paz retenida en el hotel, acto prohibido

[14 de junio, 10 a.m., Erbil] Todos los integrantes de la delegación de paz al norte de Irak se encuentran detenidos hoy en su hotel para impedir la celebración de un acto y una rueda de prensa frente a la oficina de la misión de la ONU en Erbil, algo a lo que ayer se había comprometido un representante del gobierno de la región.

Aproximadamente 30 peshmergas, armados con fusiles de asalto, custodian a las 60 personas que integran la delegación. Ayer mismo, la delegación se reunió con el ministro de Exteriores del Gobierno de la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán Iraquí (PDK), quien empeñó su palabra en que se permitiría la realización del acto. De momento, parece que la detención no es estricta, pero se han prohibido todos los actos públicos. Otros delegados se encuentran custodiados en este momento.

Wolf Meyer, integrante del secretariado internacional de FAU: “estas actuaciones del gobierno del Kurdistán Iraquí son indignas de unas relaciones internacionales oficiales y recuerdan, no a una democracia, sino a la dictadura que se vive en Turquía. Se nos arresta, deporta y detiene con al apoyo y la complicidad del Gobierno alemán. Exigimos la puesta en libertad inmediata de todas las personas prisioneras, que se respete el derecho a manifestarse y que se honren los acuerdos y la palabra dada. Pedimos a todos los sindicatos de base que alcen su voz con determinación frente a la situación que se vive ahora mismo en Erbil”.

  • [June 14, 10 a.m., Erbil] The entire peace delegation in northern Iraq is being held in its hotel today to prevent a rally and press conference in front of the UN representation in Erbil, which was promised yesterday by a government representative.

About 30 Peshmerga with assault rifles are keeping the 60-strong peace delegation in northern Iraq in their hotel. Only yesterday, the delegation met with the foreign minister of the Autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan Region (PDK) who promised the rally could take place. Currently, the detention seems to be relaxed, but all demonstrations are still banned. Other delegates are currently in custody.

Wolf Meyer, member of the international committee of the FAU: “The current actions of the government of the Iraqi Kurdistan are unworthy of official international relations and are reminiscent not of a civil democracy but of a Turkish dictatorship. We are being arrested, deported, detained – with support and acquiescence of the German government. We demand all prisoners be released, the right to demonstrate and that joint agreements be respected. We ask all trade unions to find clear words for the current situation in Erbil.”

  • Delegation of the FAU in Northern Iraq

On the road against war and for internationalism in action!
The Free Workers Union is currently participating in a large international delegation in the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). The reason for this is the ongoing human rights crimes, military actions and provocations on the part of the Turkish government and the Barzani regime¹, which is close to the Turkish government, as well as the worsening working and living conditions for the workers of the region.

As an internationalist labour union federation, we stand with the workers and peasants all over the world against the Turkish dictatorship, which is covering the whole region of the so-called Middle East with war, destruction of nature and political oppression.

Background

The Turkish regime under dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pursues a policy of annexation and ethnic cleansing². The biggest counterweight against this racist war policy is the communalist movement³. This movement is organized in Turkey, Syria and Iraq and is mainly supported by Kurds, but also Yezidis, Arabs, Turkmens, Assyrians and members of many other communities as a multi-ethnic project.

In Iraq, Turkey is currently attempting to take control of the retreat areas of communalist organizations, as well as border areas with the communalist-administered region of northern and eastern Syria (also known as Rojava). Thus, it regularly carries out bombardments on Iraqi territory against alleged or actual revolutionaries. Furthermore, the Barzani clan and the Turkish state are expanding their military presence in these areas. In recent months, over 40 military bases have been established and thousands of soldiers have been deployed to the region.

With the current attacks and air strikes, Turkey is trying to provoke an intra-Kurdish war between communalists and the Barzani regime, which is economically dependent on Turkey. This tactic aims to weaken Kurdish resistance to Turkey, cut off supply routes to northeastern Syria, and legitimize a Turkish occupation of parts of Iraq.

  • Delegación de FAU en el norte de Irak

¡En marcha contra la guerra y por el internacionalismo en acción!

FAU (Sindicato de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras Libres) participa actualmente en una gran delegación internacional a la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán (Norte de Irak). El motivo de esta es oponerse a las incesantes violaciones de los derechos humanos, las ofensivas militares y las provocaciones por parte del gobierno turco y del régimen de Barzani¹, muy próximo a aquel, así como al deterioro de las condiciones laborales y vitales de las personas trabajadoras en la región.

Como federación sindical internacionalista que es FAU, estaremos siempre junto a trabajadores y trabajadoras, campesinos y campesinas de todo el mundo, contra la dictadura turca, que siembra la guerra, la destrucción del medio ambiente y la opresión política en todo el ámbito de la región denominada Oriente Medio.

Antecedentes

El régimen turco del dictador Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lleva a cabo una política de anexión y limpieza étnica². El mayor obstáculo frente a esta expansión de la guerra racista es el movimiento del confederalismo democrático³. Este se encuentra organizado en Turquía, Siria e Irak y recibe el apoyo, principalmente, de la población kurda, pero también yazidí, árabe, turcomana, asiria y de integrantes de muchas otras comunidades, porque se trata de un proyecto multiétnico.

En Irak, el gobierno turco pretende actualmente hacerse con el control de las zonas en que se refugian las organizaciones del confederalismo democrático, así como de las regiones fronterizas con la parte del norte y el este de Siria en las que está implantado este proyecto (también conocida como Rojava). Por este motivo, bombardea de manera regular el territorio iraquí, para atacar a revolucionarios imaginados o reales. Además, el clan Barzani y el estado turco están ampliando su presencia militar en estas zonas. En los últimos meses, han establecido más de 40 bases militares y han desplegado miles de soldados en la región.

La Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) es una organización dependiente de CNT para la conservación de la rica historia del movimiento libertario y la divulgación del pensamiento, la cultura y las ideas anarquistas. Cuenta con una librería, salón de actos, salas de reuniones y biblioteca en el centro de Madrid. Es probable que la conozcas, si alguna vez has visitado la ciudad, porque es un referente en el panorama libertario peninsular.

Pues bien, esta sede de la Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo ha sido atacada. El pasado lunes nos encontramos con que el ánimo destructivo de alguien estuvo muy activo el fin de semana.

Volcaron sus esfuerzos en romper la cerradura y destruir el cristal de la fachada con pintura y picos, lo que demuestra que se habían preparado. Ojalá se preparasen igual para luchar por cosas importantes como la justicia social o la solidaridad.

Un ataque a la Cultura Libertaria con maneras que son propias de fascistas, pero que parecen proliferar. ¿Qué sentido puede tener atacar un lugar presidido por estanterías con libros y espacios de difusión, si no es así?

Un ataque a la Cultura, al mundo de los libros y del pensamiento libertario. Está claro que quienes han llevado el ataque no pueden ser personas ‘asiduas’ de la Fundación… habrían leído, escuchado y discutido, y no se dejarían manipular por esa violencia sin sentido.

Por supuesto, condenamos la acción y sus consecuencias, afortunadamente solo materiales. Y ya volvemos a estar en marcha, arreglándolo todo… ya sabéis, la obra siempre constructiva.
