On the police riot in Argentina
Buenos Aires governor Kicillof and the Argentinean president Fernández give Facundo's assassins money and supplies in Buenos Aires province because they need them to repress the workers resistance…
The police are not workers, they are repressors
and murderers of the working class!
THE POLICE AND ALL THE REPRESSIVE FORCES OF THE STATE MUST BE DISSOLVED!
Out with the fascist Berni!
Since Monday the Buenos Aires province Police has gathered in different parts of the province in a real armed demonstration demanding an increase in wages and supplies. After 3 days that ended up opening a political crisis, with the police surrounding Quinta de Olivos Presidential Residence, Fernández and Kicillof announced wage increases and more funds for patrol cars, vests, clothing, weapons, etc.
This is no "protest of public servants" with "legitimate claims", but a mutiny of the state's killer dogs, who want more weapons, money and guarantees to better repress the workers in defense of businesses and property, transnational corporations and bankers, the UIA (industry owners’ association), the Rural Society, etc. They are the armed wing of the bourgeois State, which is even in charge of narco, human trafficking, kidnapping and robberies as cash resources, in partnership with judges and prosecutors.
The spokespersons for the police protest say they have "worked" a lot these last months. This is undeniable. The almost 100 young people were killed by these hunting dogs across the country proves it.
Fernández and the governors relied on the repressive forces to establish a true state of siege, by militarizing working-class neighborhoods, and impose a quarantine of hunger and unemployment on the workers, with repression of the struggles in the Penta meat refrigerator or the miners of Jujuy. In the neighborhoods, harassment and repression of working youth have increased. The murder of Facundo Castro is one of dozens of disappearances and executions of young workers at the hands of the police and the Gendarmerie.
Now police know that they have to repress the resistance in the factories and the taking over of land from desperate families and that is why they want more money and supplies. They are not workers! They are the bosses' watch-dogs growling for a better bone, to beat to and kill homeless workers and families!
Those who guise this murderous and repressive government as "progressive" are lying to the people. Fernández and the governors said yes to the police and equipped the repressive forces because they have declared war on the working class, under the discipline of imperialism. They have to forced workers to produce under maquiladora conditions, without rights or conquests, in a sea of unemployed, and they know it will not be peaceful. They need the clubs and the shotguns of the police, and even the semi-fascist bands of the bureaucracy that organize to attack the workers in struggle, as they did in the port.
The Fernándezes came to continue Macri's work and pay the $ 200 billion that Wall Street and the IMF stole in the last couple of years.
That is why Fernández let the companies of the reactionary bosses, which took to the streets against the lockdown, opened, while he kills with sticks and shots those of us workers who fight for wages and housing.
He says he cares because the Covid contagion curve rises but he actually sends us to work and get infected in the prison-factories.
With the gunmen of the union bureaucracy they ended our collective bargains, while the companies doubled their profits.
Enough of lying! Fernández is the one leading the attack on the people!
And if today the streets are taken by the police and the ultra reactionary middle classes, if the reaction takes courage and is emboldened, it is because the CGT and CTA bureaucracies took the working class off the streets and have it tied to the government with the social pact. Down with the social pact! Out with the scabs of the union bureaucracy!
Thanks to the fact that those traitors have put the working class to resist in the last trench, the Prefecture has the forces to imprison 40 workers from the port of Buenos Aires who were fighting for wages, as happened on Saturday, and the judges is due the order to evict the worker families who occupied a piece of land in Guernica. The police, under the command of Fernández and the governors, is preparing to harden the repression of our struggles.
Let's take to the streets with the dock workers and the homeless families of Guernica for wages, work and housing! The forces are there for the working class to regroup its ranks for the class war declared to us by those from above.
From the workers' organizations in struggle, from the militant unionism and combative piqueteros movements that integrate the Plenary of Combative Unionism, etc. a coordinator of the workers resistance and the unified self-defense committees must be set up. There is no time to lose!
No to police unions! Workers' program must be the one that the black movement and American workers shout: "Dissolution of the police!" Yes! We must disband this murderous police of assassins of workers, youth and homeless families!
The path is the one set by the exploited masses of Bogota, Colombia, who yesterday rose up against the repression of the police that murdered Javier Ordóñez and hundreds of exploited youth!
Enough of trigger happy and militarization of our neighborhoods! Workers and popular vigilance committees!
Workers and popular courts to judge and punish Facundo's murderers, the same ones who killed Kostequi and Santillán, Fuentealba, Luciano Arruga, Santiago Maldonado, Rafa Nahuel!
Free Sebastián Romero and all the prisoners for fighting! Acquittal of the oil workers of Las Heras!
