A-Infos (en) CNT Vallès Oriental: Before the current Catalan revolt (ca, it) [machine translation]

The current situation of social exception in Catalonia is unprecedented in the recent 
history of our country. Throughout the week the social mobilizations in response to the 
judgment of the process have been of a massive forcefulness that shows the force that the 
population has when it is organized and mobilized massively. ---- On the other hand, 
police violence from the outset, led by the riot corps of Mossos d'Esquadra and National 
Police collaborating together, has unleashed a wave of nighttime protests in all the 
provincial capitals continuously and with an intensity of protest that It has only 
increased night by night, day by day. ---- The Catalan rulers and politicians now uncheck 
these protests for violent, abandoning in the toughest moments the youth who grew up 
watching as the National Police and the Civil Guard burst their electoral colleges and 
beat peaceful defenders of the referendum. This youth that today defends itself (and 
defends us) from police brutality, now abandons them to the accusations of terrorism and 
violence of the executive Pedro Sánchez, with the collaboration of the rulers, political 
parties and the extreme right.

There is a surge in the world of protests that arise for different reasons, but all have a 
common denominator. Humanity aspires to live at the highest possible levels of freedom, 
social justice and well-being. And given the failure of the different neoliberal economies 
to give this solution to the social majority of each country, periodically there are 
protests triggered by several factors (recently in Hong Kong, Ecuador and now in Chile, to 
name an example) that result in brutal repressions and authoritarian reactions of all 
forms of government.

And by definition, govern corrupts. The interests to maintain the power during the game 
that lasts its mandate causes that the parliamentary political parties have their own 
strategies and try to mobilize in the town according to their interests. But today 
Catalonia returns to overwhelm the Catalan and Spanish political class, giving a lesson to 
the world of dignity and self-organization in a new revolt.

Simultaneously in Catalonia we have an economic and social situation that only worsens: 
structural unemployment in the most vulnerable groups (young people, over 55, women and 
immigrants), poverty has increased, access to housing remains a serious problem , work is 
precarious and public education and health systems are weakened, etc. A situation that is 
similar in the rest of the Spanish State, with the differences of each territory.

And in other territories, society is also mobilizing against repression in Catalonia: 
Madrid, Burgos, Vitoria, Seville ... More and more cities are added to protest against 
repression and those responsible: the government and the Monarchy.

We live in a state that was born from the pact of a political class with Francoism in 
1978, a state that has been repressing the revolts of the working class and all the 
peoples who question its structure. We need a common exit to this situation with all 
possible actors that leads to an end to the current Monarchy and open a new scenario away 
from everything that oppresses us.

From CNT Vallès Oriental, as a revolutionary and anarcho-syndicalist union, we commit 
ourselves to initiate and promote contacts with all the trade union forces of Catalonia 
and the rest of the State to initiate a revolutionary trade union movement that 
accompanies the Catalan revolt and the dowry of class content and social, that advocates 
the abolition of the Monarchy and a new confederal model of the territory where each town 
can determine itself politically.

Long live freedom!
