DAY OF INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH THE WORKERS AND THE PEOPLE'S UPRISING OF COLOMBIA
Paula Medrano – Democracia Obrera (Spanish State)
“Faced with the massacre in Colombia, it’s key to be able to develop the worker and peasant militias, extend and centralize them”
First of all, I want to send a big greeting to the comrades from Cali. Here in Madrid there have been huge demonstrations. We have already been demonstrating for 4 days non-stop, with more than 15 - 20 thousand Colombians living here in Madrid, one of the most enslaved sectors of the working class in the Spanish State.
I think that one of the most important issues in the face of the massacre by the fascists and the police in plain clothes, is as the comrades from Syria said, to be able to develop and extend the workers' and peasants' militias, but above all, to centralize them. What we need is to cut off the head of the snake, bring down the Duque-Uribe government and end with the regime. It seems to me that this is where our efforts must now be concentrated. We must not give in to the siren songs of any organization, either the Stalinists or the human rights organizations. The people must continue to expand and centralize these workers' militias, call in the rank and file soldiers.
That the Colombian revolution stands up and brings down that regime, a puppet of US imperialism, is fundamental for the entire working class of America, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.
Let the comrades from Colombia know that they are not alone. As the comrades from Syria said, together we will be able to elaborate a clear program, that program for the Colombian working class to succeed.
