He tries to apply a new health law against the workers and exploited masses. It consist in punishing “professional bad practice getting rid of the miserable conditions of the national health system
He deepens the fierce attack with the purpose of privatizing the education.
In the mining district of Huanuni, the Union through fraudulent in the elections and with the guarantee of its murderous police, it wants to impose a loyal direction to the Government that is at the service of privatizing all the mining.
Through his Work Ministry allied with the businessmen, he launched a brutal revenge against the manufactory workers who dared to face him valiantly against the closure of Enatex in 2016 and they already suffer massive layoffs and suspensions in several factories.
He penalizes the strike and tries to silence the voice of the workers, poor peasants and combative students with brutal repressions, detentions and jail
Before this situation workers and exploited masses developed hard battles to stop the Government’s attack and after so much struggle the working class searches and discusses decisive steps to defeat Government’s attack. These actions forced the COB to call for a political analyses meeting about the situation of the country on December 27. Let’s take in our hands this meeting to draw a revolutionary fight plan!
WE HAVE TO STOP THE GOVERNMENT’S ATTACK, AGENT OF TRUP AND THE IMF, UNIFYING THE WORKING CLASS AND THE POOR PEASANTS IMPOSING THE REVOLUTIONARY GENERAL STRIKE!
The Bolivian Workers Centre(COB) must to break with the Government
For a socialist, anti-imperialist and internationalist COB! Let us re-found the COB of '52 with its worker and peasant militias, without bureaucrats or ministers, or "worker" senators, under the program of the Pulacayo Thesis
Emergency Congress of the COB with workers' delegates,poor peasants and combative students!
Let's organize self-defense committees of all the fighting organizations to face the repressive police!
Dissolution of the police and all the repressive forces of theState!
It is necessary to retake the road of the 2003-2005 revolution and its cry of "¡Out gringos!" "The gas for the Bolivians!", “Rifle, machine gun Bolivia doesn´t keep silent”!"(Fusil,Metralla, Bolivia no se calla)!" to defeat the infamous pact of Morales and the Fascist Media Luna and its bourgeois constitution that has not guaranteed neither the bread to the workers nor the land to the poor peasants
Today when the Yankee flag waves in Havana and the imperialist transnationals settle there with the strong support of the new bourgeois of the Cuban CP, the redoubled offensive in Middle East bombing Palestine by the Zionist gendarme and the advance of the massacre to Syrian resistance, workers and peasants who fight in the last trench, besieged by Putin's bombings and the hunger siege, the government of Evo, servant of Trump, Wall Street and the transnationals, takes decisive advantage liquidating the few gains that are left to the workers movement and the impoverished masses of the countryside and the city, that is: privatize mining, take more money out of the pockets of pensioners to hand them over to the landowner oligarchy of the Media Luna, penalize health workers for the miserable conditions of the health, privatize education by closing universities as he tries to do with the UPEA first by pushing it into deficits that do not even cover the regular operation, massive layoffs and suspensions in several factories such as (PEPSI, B.B.O. Mendocina, Bolivian Timberlan, Hahnemann Laboratories, Bolivian Foods) related to a hasty increase in informal work, quite palpable, with small vendors and merchants including children and young people.
All this package of attacks on workers and exploited while the external debt reaches 9.108 million dollars as of November 30 this year, which represents 24.8% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), estimated at a total of little more than 36,700 million dollars and the government emphasizes the selling out of the nation to the transnationals, for example, in November of this year, on the first day of the fourth meeting of the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries (FPEG) where it was consolidated to explore three new areas - after the sepoy Government had offered 80 gas areas!! - Evo Morales agreed with a typical tone of the boliburgueses: "Private investment is respected, private investment will be respected (...) as a company they have the right to have profits, they are respected, and as a company they have the right to make money ".
For his part, the leadership of the COB headed by Mitma continues in a swing of statements of "moral" support to different sectors that were presenting battle against the attack of the Government in recent months. It is the case of health workers and students from the health area who are struggling, the struggle of the poor peasants of Achacachi against the corrupt mayor or the massive mobilizations of students and teachers of the UPEA who demanded a university budget so that the university is not closed and privatized with the complicity of the professors elite, the leaders of the COB continue to watch from the balcony of the bureaucracy not to organize a decisive fight against the attack of the government, this cannot continue like this, urgently matters should be taken in their own hands. As a fresh air Huanuni miners are already fighting to recover their Huanuni Mining Union to confront the government, this was expressed in the last elections where they repudiated the policy of "re-foundation of COMIBOL" (privatization of mining) and supported the fight of health workers. This is very symptomatic of the deep hatred of the mining base that is predisposed to respond to the attack of the government, a fact that tried to be confined by a fraudulent election of the Huanuni Mining Union where, with a contingent of vigilant and well-equipped policemen, a list of the MAS was imposed by means of a recount of votes controlled by the government. However, the base miners have not said their last word and are waiting attentively for the convocation to a general assembly. It is enough! Out the interference of the Government and its repressive forces of the state inside the organizations! For Worker and Student Defense Committees to face the repressive police!
Another trend within what happens in the class struggle is the statization of unions through union parallelism to disorganize the ranks of workers as happens with the Labor Central Departmental of La Paz, the organizations of Neighborhood Boards, the Central Workers Regional Office of El Alto and the Federation of Fabric Workers of La Paz, recreating fictitious leaderships faithful to the MAS that are strongly leaned on the Labor Ministry's support and the brutal repressions of the police as occurred in the Ampliado of ManuFactory Workers in La Paz that was meeting in the Fabric building.Therefore, it is urgent to deepen the symptomatic struggle that arises in the bosom of the Huanuni miners to recover their union to put it at the service of their demands moving forward for the breakdown of the COB with the starver and jailer Government of Morales, putting it at the service of our fight making effective the unity and coordination of the Bolivian working class, the poor peasants and combative students so that we strike as a single fist the attack of the government and defeat it in the streets conquering the General Revolutionary Strike, retaking the 2003-2005 revolution, destroying the infamous pact of the government and the blessed Fascist Media Luna and its bourgeois constitution that has not guaranteed the bread to the workers or the land to the poor peasants.
Evo Morales Government has demonstrated to the Yankee imperialism and the imperialist transnationals to be the best agent to guarantee the looting of our gas, oil and minerals. For quite some time, in chorus with the Castro and other Boliburgeoisies, they have been waving that "socialism does not work anymore even in Cuba. What shows that the "Bolivarian revolution" was a way to expropriate the Latin American revolution to tie up with double and triple chains the nations of the continent to imperialism. The government shows its true face, equal or worse than Macri's in Argentina, and accelerates its Bonapartist regime by embodying it with the "principal actor"; the repressive police and trying to silence the voice and struggle of workers, poor peasants and combative students with jail, processes and arrests.
Those from above unified their flexibilizing attack on the work force in the G-20 and spread it throughout Latin America through the governments that are servants of the transnationals and imperialism. You cannot fight divided in the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) of the transnationals and the imperialist pirates! We must expropriate the transnationals without payment and under workers control! The attack by the Morales government is part of the same attack at international level of the bankers, the imperialist transnationals and their servant governments. And yet, the world working class has not yet said its last word, it already has a battle like in France facing the draconian laws of Macron, as in Argentina rising up by thousands before the hunger and the miserable retirements that push to unprecedented misery conditions.
These forces were also expressed and predisposed to fight on October 13 and 17 in Brazil at the III Congress of the CSP-Conlutas and the International Meeting of the Working Class of the Americas, where more than 2,500 militant delegates gathered representing 300 Unions. They submitted the motion and the flag of class independence and the struggle of workers' organizations respect to employers and their Government.
That is the way forward to unify all the workers of the continent against the attack of imperialism and its governments. It is urgent that the Bolivian workers' organizations call a Latin American Congress because it is the only way to stop the attack theywant to impose country by country.
Let's fight united against the slaver MERCOSUR! Let's fight together with the teachers and miners of Peru who are back on strike, together with the workers' vanguard of Argentina, along with our best allies: the US workers. They stand up against the imperialist wars and for U$S 15 an hour of work.In that Meeting in Brazil, the thousands of combative workers and delegates returned to call for solidarity and support the Syrian revolution, and also called to stop the genocide being carried out by Al Assad, Putin and the lackeys of Trump, against the Syrian people. Let’s advance in solidarity with the Syrian people, calling to contribute a wage per worker of all the workers of the continent and the world for the Syrian resistance!The COB must follow the example of the CSP Conlutas, must break with the Government and proclaim class independence without collaborating bureaucrats or ministers or senators "workers", pimps of the bourgeoisie. As an example in 2010 the manufactory workers of La Paz traveled and they motioned in the international meeting of the CONCLAT (Working Class Congress) held in Brazil with hundreds of working organizations present, that they had to face the Bolivarian bourgeoisie and the bureaucracy that support them.That is why the general and revolutionary strike aimed at resuming the 2003-2005 revolution in order to conquer bread, health, education and health with the expropriation of transnational companies, without payment and under workers control and land for the poor peasants with the expropriation of the lands to the oligarchy of the Fascist Media Luna.A single class, the same fight from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego!
