El elefante RAMCON accedió a la subcontrata de limpieza de los locales y edificios públicos de Mollet del Vallès pretendiendo aplastar nuestros derechos como si fueran la cacharrería del refrán. Las compañeras de la Sección Sindical de CGT en RAMCON les dimos el ALTO y pasamos a ser su objetivo favorito: persecuciones, acoso laboral, despidos aleatorios, denuncias… Recordamos que nuestro compañero Julián sufrió un accidente laboral que le causó la muerte, hecho que se está investigando en la justicia como posible delito por parte de la empresa.
Hace ya algunos meses celebramos la victoria en las elecciones sindicales, una batalla en nuestra larga lucha.
Somos, y a mucha honra, las “señoras de la limpieza de los coles”. No tenemos muchos estudios, cierto, pero la DIGNIDAD nos sobra. Y de tontas, ni un pelo.
Bien cohesionadas y acompañadas por los y las grandes compañeras de la CGT del Vallès Oriental hemos resistido y plantado cara uno a uno a todos los sistemáticos ataques de la empresa. También hemos denunciado una por una todas sus arbitrariedades e irregularidades, Of course.
Llegado el nuevo concurso de la licitación de los servicios de limpieza en las centros y locales públicos por el Ayuntamiento de Mollet del Vallès, bien organizadas y aplicadas, hemos revisado punto por punto las Ofertas de las empresas aspirantes, detectando irregularidades graves por parte de RAMCON en relación a nuestros derechos como trabajadoras.
Nuestra insistencia y su oferta LOW COST ha provocado la eliminación del concurso público de esa funesta empresa.
¡HASTA NUNCA RAMCON! ¡BUEN VIAJE!
Bien sabrá la licitadora entrante que con nuestro pan no ha de jugar.
Finalmente, las hormiguitas acabamos con el elefante.
David ha vencido a Goliath.
¡VA POR TI, JULIÁN!

Suddenly the explosive effervescence with which the economic powers, politicians, media and theirs collaborators trade unions make an epidermal and instrumental facade for women's rights. The rest of the year, a wasteland (unless they find some opportunity embodied in a "woman" of the affluent or privileged class, intending to make synecdoche with him 99% of women remaining). It seems to work for them.
We understand that they are talking only about their wives, clar. The Executives are very clear about the concept of social class and have no interest in modifying it in favor of women (and the rest of the people) of our social class.
Among the popular classes (workers) reality confirms that we are not very clear, all together:
From the Occident, headed and headed in reductionisms more of identity narcissism than of collective interest, we waste day by day the energies of the earth's disinherited by looking at the finger that very intelligently invites us to look at the "Sage", Instead of glimpsing the moonlight and incorporating all of women, homes, teens, children around us in the struggle of the thousands of bonfires that everywhere should illuminate the reciprocal collaboration towards the most disadvantaged people in our environment, and even more… the ultra-exploited ones from all over the planet, and animal and plant life on Earth. It goes to us all in the game.
In the meantime, the politician, the entrepreneur, he take care and his puppets tokens sex, gender or race are focused, they throw us bread crumbs and circus, and they literally piss in our faces:
Among those who, enthusiastic and excited, they open their mouths wide so as not to lose a single drop, and those who are blown away by their grandiloquent navel, we have it very hairy.
Lucky for the not a few decent people who still see and act clearly, despite the dense fog! With these we have the humble pride of living with them on a daily basis.
The freedom of working class women will never achieve true equality in patriarchal societies.:
– Classism is patriarchal.
– The Executive Power is patriarchal.
– Representativism (politician, labor or "expert") it is patriarchal.
– Tokenism is patriarchal.
– Passivity is patriarchal.
– Narcissism is patriarchal.
– Private Property [of the means of production and services] it is patriarchal.
– Centralism is patriarchal.
– Non-direct democracy is patriarchal.
– Gregarism is patriarchal.
The vital context and the socialization process of people define their cultural background, their cognitive identity and mentality in a decisive way.
AGAINST THE PATRIARCHY:
– Mutual help.
– Direct Democracy.
– Basic federalism.
– Confederalism.
– Dignity and Honesty.
VERY HEALTHY!
That today, like every day of our life, the more folded people we push towards Utopia to the extent of our strength!!
20F trial against the representation of the workers demanded by
Collective conflict by the UTE AP7 Vallés company – SECTOR B04
Comrades!
We appreciate that yesterday, day 20 February, the CGT Vallès Oriental He has concentrated on the courts of Granollers in support of the workers of the UTE AP7 Vallés, denouncing the company's maneuvers to precarize their working conditions.
Prior to trial, The judge has gathered us at Representation of workers (RT) and to the company for mediation. In the conciliation they have tried to force an agreement, With the intention of suspending the trial.
For a majority of the RT, The agreed in assembly has been determined and submitted to the trial. Our lawyer has firmly defended our rights, based on the European jurisprudence, like the Sentencia twenty C108/10 Scattolon, That says that it cannot be that as a cause of the subrogation there is a worsening of the working conditions of the workers because that would go against what the directive 77/187/CEE says. This directive is a European regulation that seeks precisely to protect workers in case of company transfer. If there are collective agreements, The company cannot simply opt for another more favorable agreement for it, Present a contest and, Consequently, Reduce salaries. That is to say, You can't hire someone who previously charged five, for three and pay only one. That is what should not happen. They are criteria that follow the Supreme Court.
At the end of the trial, We have come out with good feelings, But the final decision is in the hands of the judge. Inform you that the trial will not be finished until both parties review and give compliance with the evidence provided by the lawyers, until Wednesday at 3:00 p.m..
We hope that the sentence will be fair and favorable. But if not, We will resort to it Court of Justice of the European Union (TWENTY). We will not allow our acquired rights to be trampled. It should be remembered that the Ministry pays a game of 745.000€ Annual for the salary difference between Abertis and construction, ¡¡
Public money for the salary of the workers, Not for business benefit!!
From the CGT, We will continue to fight for the dignity and rights of workers and we will be aware of acting if necessary trade.

UTE AP7 denounces to the Company Committee
From the CGT-Ute Ap7 Vallés Trade Union Section, you inform you that the legal representation of the workers (RT) We have received a lawsuit from the company for collective conflict whose trial is scheduled to he 20/02/2025, at 12h. In Social Court No. 2 Granollers.
In said demand, The company asks the judge:
The RLT considers that:
– The applicable agreement must be the Construction Agreement of the Province of Barcelona, since it has preference on the state, how applies to the rest of the non -subrogated template.
– It is not viable to apply two agreements at the same time.
– The most beneficial conditions acquired by workers must be respected, According to the article 44 of the Statute of Workers and the article 11 of the VI Construction Agreement of Barcelona.
Abertis agreement beat the 28/12/2023. To prevent the current work day (4-2) It will consolidate as contractual instead of the agreement day (Monday to Friday, more favorable for workers), and suspend prescription, he 27/12/2024 We present a conciliation ballot to the Department of Treball. The conciliation was held 20/01/25 ending without agreement, and has allowed interrupting the prescription of the day.
We call for you to accompany us and appreciate your time and support.

The past 31 of January our union colleagues, Alicia I Raquel, We were put on the table the darkness of unpredictable climate change and legal constructive aberrations in flood areas: To the planet, in the Eastern Valley, In Catalonia and the State.
The talk is part of the self -training workshops between affiliates and affiliates of the union.
We are and we will be what we do ourselves and yourself.
They tell us that in the Vallès Oriental (and to the rest of the state) Most industrial estates are in flood areas, as well as many popular class neighborhoods, With periods of return of well -unpredictable catastrophes. Workers live and work in dangerous areas.
I what, “for whatever”, Politicians and the administration grant without glances and with all the impunity construction licenses in these areas to non -scruples entrepreneurs.
The years pass, but “catastrophes for extreme rainfall” are reproduced in the same places and at the same seasons of the year.
offices “rain” There are never criminal liable, only victims… a bit of media plane… and new “opportunity to reconstruct” With public money tenders. Round business.
At the same time the government is eliminating the subject of geology of ESO school curricula and high school. In practice, If we do not stop it, It can be a future without technicians knowing the stability and danger of surfaces where our homes will be built, bridges, reservoir walls, railway lines, roads. Who will establish and apply the regulations and analyzes of geological risks, Wherever it is safe or not to build and inhabit? "Technicians" of the large construction companies? (As in other times of the "Development"). Put the wolf to take care of the sheep?
Are the public authorities at the service of the security and well -being of the citizenry (that we pay taxes) or of the great business Oligarques?
We stayed in organizing resistance and alternatives: In Mollet del Vallès the Salvem el Calderí platform is stopping the urbanization of “Official protection flats” to an flood zone.
Thanks Alicia, Thank you Raquel for dedicating your time and your knowledge.
Next Friday 31 January at 17:30 we will give a talk on the management of water and geological risks in the region of Vallès Oriental with our colleagues in the union section of Education, Alicia I Raquel.

"Ubuntu" is a word from the Bantu peoples of Africa that means "I am because we all are" or "I win because we all win".
Such a simple concept, harmonious and wonderful… but quite unusual to find in the practice of the real actions of the people who inhabit the Western world.
[Yes. blah, bla, bla… it is ubiquitous, clar].
Surely the philosopher Albert Camus should think (with healthy envy) in the Bantu by letting go of this maxim: "Don't walk in front of me, maybe he doesn't follow you. Don't walk behind me, may not guide you. Walk beside me and be my friend».
WE in the successful attempt to overcome and abolish the all-powerful determinisms of cultural socialization patterns imposed by the business classes practice:
"Don't pretend to walk in front of us, because we will not follow you. Don't walk behind us, so we don't want to guide you. Walk by our side and let us be mutual friends».
SALUT TO HUMANITY !!

This short video shows how, in the face of the absolute initial bankruptcy of the Political Administrations, the associations of workers have maintained the thread of solidarity and hope among the people affected by misfortune.
Obviously everyone cares about the people of their social class. Politicians are not part of the popular classes, hence his indifference and disregard for the misfortunes of the humble.
From our modesty in the Eastern Vallès, coordinated with colleagues from the counties of Girona and Barcelona, the colleagues of the trade union sections in each of the companies, the anonymous people who have made contributions of basic products, those who have come to help organize, classify and fit the food, water boots, one, rubber, masks, to load the trucks, drive to the areas affected by the catastrophe… also the young man from Gimnàs Popular Francesc Ollé, Mollet del Vallès…
It is proof that no small effort of altruistic collaboration goes to waste. Every little mutual help ends up bearing fruit and blossoming.
THE FRUIT OF THE EFFORT OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US!!

Canovelles City Council has recently announced the suspension of the weekly Sunday market.
The argument has been the "insecurity" produced by the volume of "illegal" stallholders.
The populist MEASURE, apart from satisfying the superficial emotions of right-wing xenophobes, it doesn't even consider the deep roots of the problem: POVERTY [and precisely the town of Canovelles has been a victim since the 1950s…].
Apart from ceasing to provide an ON-SITE food and clothing service at popular prices to the whole region and to all the people who do not want to pass through the sieve of theAmazonization / uberization i l'atur, depersonalization, labor exploitation and pollution that comes with the post-capitalist trade model.
Apart from leaving regular stallholders without income, which are not precisely capitalist and which mostly function through precarious family cooperatives to survive, very close to the marges.
The measure leaves without the last resort people who are not allowed to work decently and who find in the "unregulated" sale of products that LEGIT BUSINESSMEN falsify in order to enrich themselves without limits, the last link to earn an honest living, before stealing.
We often find these people ultra-exploited in infected workshops of the "external subcontract" that brings parts to our company, or picking strawberries that four chavos in Huelva and living in shacks.
They "steal our jobs" because they work for less money, or is it precisely the LEGAL DEPERSONALIZATION that turns them into the fragile toy tool for employers to lower our wages and working conditions? If they were considered PEOPLE (that they are, just like us) legally legal, they would have the same conditions and the "bosses" would not have this tool to weaken our labor rights. I no, they wouldn't compete with us. The only "competition" [rather theft] the employer does it for us. Look up in the dictionary surplus value or capital gain (in Marxist terms).
As we all know, losing our job throws us into states of helplessness and psychological collapse. Who among us would not steal or kill to feed their children?
For those who come with the chant of "those at home first", we will answer them that "First the worthy people (those of the People), then the squirrels and the businessmen, who are our real thieves and enemies".
Again we remember that our capitalist reality began more than 500 years with the conquest, colonization, exploitation, looting of the distant lands where the ancestors of those whom some now call "illegal immigrants" lived peacefully: america, Africa, asia, Oceania. And it still continues (googlegeu "minerals they sang", "child exploitation at Inditex or Mango" for example).
The Gross Domestic Product would be needed (GDP) durant 1.000 years of all the Western States participating in the colonial processes to "compensate or restore" the harm caused to the colonized territories and societies. DON'T FORGET that we may be in DEBT [Not us as citizens, but yes our States]. Spain participated fully in this process.
The populist decision of the Canovelles City Council [that it is not a "simple defenseless City Council" but is part of the institutional and political framework of the State] in any case, it will only change "the problem" of the town [very unsupportive action and even less "patriotic"]. And maybe it will be in your town.
The town of Canovelles, like many others of rapid growth through economic and spatial segregation with immigration [consequence of caciques in the Andalusian countryside, Extremadura…] in industrial areas of the years 1950 They have a structural problem:
POVERTY AND CONCENTRATION BY SPATIAL SEGREGATION OF THE SAME.
THE PEOPLE OF THE PLANET HAVE A CONSEQUENTIAL PROBLEM FROM THE PAST AND PRESENT COLONIZATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE PEOPLE FROM DISTANT LANDS BY THE BUSINESSMEN AND POLITICIANS OF OUR STATES.
"THERE" IS MISERABLE, HUNGER AND "HERE" COVIVAL PROBLEMS.
Complex problems can only be solved with sound and structural solutions.
Take the last resort and at the same time refuge of dignity to people at the limit of subsistence, it will throw them without remedy to death by starvation or to crime. IT IS PUBLIC DOMAIN that not dedicating Legal and Public resources to incorporate these people into the "normality" of our lives through their legalization and social training as workers is synonymous with pouring them into crime. They know from the Power. But too often it is preferable not to PREVENTIVELY dedicate these resources from OUR TAXES and then spend them anyway, AS A CONSEQUENCE of his political negligence, in repressive police and de-collapse the judicial system. Call·chain, that yes, to ORDER through the emotionality of supposed NATIONAL PURITY.
Gentlemen of Canovelles City Council: Don't close the Sunday market.
Political gentlemen of the Parliaments: Legalize and DIGNIFY these PEOPLE, as your Universal Declaration of Human Rights says.
Gentlemen Politicians of the Parliaments: Bring a proposal from the Spanish State to the UN to rebuild [with the corresponding respect for the cultural identity that has not already been exterminated] the material and economic structure and autonomy of those societies until no one wants to leave them, except for tourism. Yes, the UN doesn't care about us, unilaterally dignify and clean up the past responsibilities of the Spanish State.
Remember that we are talking about PEOPLE!
Health and Dignity,
The Regional Committee of the Eastern Vallès
Comrades,
[As a reminder]:
It's been a year already, since the UTE AP7 VALLÉS put pressure on a group of Abertis subrogated workers with a letter informing that, from the 23 September 2023, The VII Collective Agreement of the Construction Sector would apply.
It was also indicated that the current economic conditions would continue until 30 September 2023 and?, from that date, would depend on the negotiation procedure that was being carried out.
In the Assembly of 20 November 2023, The affected staff said a resounding NO.. They were not going to accept any agreement that implied the reduction of economic and labor conditions without any compensation..
By majority, It was agreed that we preferred to abide by a final ruling rather than give in to business pressure, coercion and bad faith.
If we had given in and accepted the company's proposal at the assembly, today we would have about a 7% less purchasing power per year, which is equivalent to having lost a full monthly payment. further, office staff would have had to work an extra week a year, namely, 40 weekly hours, and I would have lost some 2,300
€ in meal tickets.
It is a great achievement that we have defended our rights and maintained our working conditions. Let's continue united in the fight, because collective effort always gives results.
Health!
David Barba Pérez
Sec. General. of the CGT UTE AP7 VALLÉS Union Section
What must be the reason (or the reasons) for which people who lived in poverty during the Franco regime and a system of Public Social Security very well testified [how many brothers, dead relatives and acquaintances who would have survived with a sufficiently developed healthcare system, since years 1950] at present they openly disparage treatment and care, a hundred thousand times better than before, that they receive in hospitals and health centers when they are treated or admitted?
curiously, for the most part, or they do not know that the public Social Security system is fed by the taxes of workers, or they are poor arrogant ruffians, of those who take advantage of the few opportunities they have to feel supposedly "important"; just like the masters whose shoes they have faithfully licked all their lives, to remove the Emperor Syndrome monster (this time frustrated) that hurt inside. Namely… with the supermarket clerk, with the doctor…
Your liberal and "unique" navel must not conceive of the common money box so that those people who have the misfortune of becoming ill or out of work benefit from it [Unemployment benefit is also part of the Social Security fund].
Resources are what they are and we contribute through taxes to our work. There could be more? I tant! It also becomes the sad structural tradition of political clientelism and extraperlism, in our country.
The popular classes do not exactly live in glory days, incapable in the attempt to reverse the relentless offensive of all the political parties that agree to grease the gears of bourgeois liberal parliamentarism to privatize health services, education and social cohesion services and move them from what they consider "the dead hands of the universal common good (the public thing)» to the voracious throats of private entrepreneurs.
Nor are these megalomaniacal people from their navel known in the organizing assemblies of the claims for the rights to the universality and quality of basic services: healthcare, education, Services of the Sector [of cohesion] Social, retirement before 60 years and with dignity). Assemblies that desperately shout to the four winds the need for everyone's collaboration (but no one ever has time "depending on what, clar. Question of priorities».
Nor in street demonstrations.
the assimilation of any anti-systemic organization into the web of institutional peace and social peace, to the bar, in the waiting room of the outpatient clinic, at the supermarket… Yes.
Diseases of memory, increasingly collective, of the 21st century.
People who have done nothing wrong in their lives, but that they have not contributed either [nor are they contributing anything to society].
A Great Alliance between Narcissism, Hedonism, Adanism, Sister-in-law, Dissatisfied Consumerism and the Emperor Syndrome.
Unfortunately, it may seem like there is nothing to do.
Or yes?
There will always be resistance, in spite of everything, pushing and walking towards Utopia.
Statement from the Permanent Secretariat of the CGT of Vallès Oriental regarding the events that took place at the Granollers Festival:
From this Permanent Secretariat we want to express our support and solidarity with the Colla dels Blaus in the face of the attacks they are receiving for holding a workshop “molotov cocktails”. An activity in a context of Festa Major and satire where freedom of expression should not be a problem.
a fair in which politicians of all kinds get on their knees before Mr. Marshall of precariousness and exploitation, based on the complaint of different “trade unions” police investigations are being opened by the Prosecutor's Office to identify minors… and being able to criticize is being questioned, to satirize the armed forces of the state (the police, army…etc).
These actions show us that it is not worth lowering our guard in the defense of rights and freedoms.
Opening hours of the premises during the month of August.
Legal advice will resume next Monday 2 of September.
For any emergency you can contact by email or phone.
Health and anarcho-syndicalism!!

For a long time now we have become accustomed to normalizing wars, those places where people kill and die, you go hungry, women and girls are raped, like something distant that is seen from the TV while we eat. Now the morbidity, more intense and outrageous, but ephemeral, It comes to us in the form of videos through social networks (more or less manipulated or censored).
“Nothing happens here anymore.. “War is a thing of the past and of the third world.”, it is said.
The obligatory levies of our young people - and adults - are far from our memory.- for the colonial whim of some: America, the slaughterhouses of Cuba and Morocco. Or civil wars: the Carlists and the last of 1936. Read and document -depending on what, Of course- awakens memory and coherent reflection.
Spain from 1986 member of the European Union and NATO (in the latter since 1999 fully integrated into its military and command structure). This supposes supposed Rights and entails Obligations.
It is necessary to remember that NATO is not exactly the UN of the “blue helmets of peace”.
From a business perspective, the “foreign” war is a business opportunity.:
– Production and sale of weapons abroad.
– Increase in GDP through exports.
– “Opportunities” for reconstruction of devastated areas.
– Loans, many loans for reconstruction.
Now we have two wars that publicly grip and shame us (those of the Sahel, Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen, Kurdistan, Rohinyas, Afghanistan… for cobalt, lithium or coltan seem not to do as much, but there are some): They are the “officially” undeclared ones of Ukraine and Gaza.
In Palestine we have a rotten and murderous State, Israel, in conflict with a proto-state that is also corrupt and murderous: Hamas. The Israeli people pay for it (indoctrination and atmosphere of Terror to those who dare to question National-Religious identity) and the Palestinian people, that receives the already atavistic Israeli repression, plus the internal repression of Hamas. More now the bag of bombs and the siege by hunger and thirst.
Spain as a state does not send weapons there, but it does not act diplomatically nor does it influence the establishment of economic sanctions to suffocate the belligerents. Nor does it exert any pressure on imports or exports on multinational companies. (or Spanish) who trade (or they actively collaborate) with the State of Israel and allow, in fact, the continuation of the war and the deaths. Popular boycott proposals in this sense exist and are promoted by social organizations around the world., but the Spanish State didn't even plim (BDS: Boycott, Disinvestment, Sanctions… that helped defeat the Apartheid in South Africa). There are also States that have taken the step of breaking diplomatic and commercial relations with the State of Israel., while the mortality lasts.
Ukraine, a state as rotten and corrupt as the Russian one. Both oppress their respective people.. A conflict orchestrated in the great global geopolitics and fueled by national emotional identitarianism or a cultural assumption of the West / East, where innocent people die. Nobody expected it (like in Yugoslavia). This could also have been the case in the post-Soviet transition from state capitalist economies to free market capitalism. (but it wasn't).
The fact is that Spain, As a member of the European Union and NATO, it has been sending weapons to the Ukrainian State WITH MONEY FROM OUR TAXES for years., money for weapons and the percentage of money allocated to “defense” is increasing (to a potential war) so that people can continue killing and people suffering. Aside from the fact that the topic is much more delicate and complex (Obviously the Russian State is not exactly a saint) It concerns us that WE CITIZEN ARE WORKING AND PAYING TAXES (which could be for education or medicine) SO THAT PEOPLE CAN ACTIVELY KILL THEMSELVES “THERE”. Collectively we have not acted to prevent it, except worthy exceptions. Therefore, we citizens have blood on our hands., whether we like it or not we know it.
And how can this affect our children?, or ourselves?
In reality, we citizens constitute the “potential reserve” of cannon fodder if the circumstances arise., among the 18 and the 45 years. But if more meat is needed (as lives run out), The legislation itself makes it possible to expand them… 16, 64… [better not give them ideas].
Spain has supranational commitments with the EU and NATO. And “democratic” state legislation that allows you to serve them faithfully.: The SPANISH CONSTITUTION, Organic Laws and Royal Decrees, in order of preeminence.
The Constitution is the Fundamental Law of the State and from which the rest are developed, without being able to contradict her.
It is very important, to understand the following argument, Keep in mind that to approve an Organic Law a simple majority is needed in Parliament. To modify any article of the Constitution, two-thirds qualified majority. It is not trivial that aspects such as the death penalty during times of war or “siege” have been “deactivated” through Organic laws. (as this state is euphemistically called, which allows for the widespread suspension of civil rights and liberties.), or compulsory military service, without having abolished or eliminated them from the Constitution.
It is worth remembering that the Spanish State (assuming it is applied honestly) has a corrected proportional electoral system that penalizes minority groups (or in projection) and promotes the euphemistic “stability” in the form of two large parties of the system that alternate in power, without any more problem than a theatrical dialectic acoustic as a staging.
The article 30 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:
1. Spaniards have the right and duty to defend Spain.
2. The law will establish the military obligations of the Spaniards and will regulate, with due guarantees, conscientious objection, as well as other causes of exemption from compulsory military service, being able to impose, in your case, a substitute social benefit.
3. A civil service may be established to fulfill purposes of general interest.
4. The duties of citizens may be regulated by law in cases of serious risk., catastrophe or public calamity.
The “duty to defend Spain” speaks for itself. When a person is designated for that “duty” they are no longer fully protected by civil rights and liberties., automatically passing to military jurisdiction. The United States invoked this argument to force its citizens to defend (killing) the interests of the country (or large economic corporations) in wars as far away as the first, Second World War or Vietnam.
The following regulations deploy the professional army in a “provisional” and “definitive” manner., but the concept of “military service” remains in force in the fundamental law, the Constitution. Therefore it is not abolished but suspended:
– Ley 17/1999, from 18 of May, Regime of the Personnel of the Armed Forces.
– Royal Decree 247/2001, 9 of March, by which the suspension of the provision of military service is brought forward.
Recovery probably doesn't have much social glamoron of the Mili, but in a process of creating patriotic states of opinion, warmongers and militarists against the supposed “common enemy” would not be ruled out. Historically it is nothing new. For thisOnly the repeal of an organic law would be necessary.
The article 15 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:
Everyone has the right to life and physical and moral integrity, without that, in no case, may be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment. The death penalty is abolished, except as may be provided by military criminal laws for times of war.
– Organic Law 11/1995, from 27 of November, abolition of the death penalty in time of war.
The article 8 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:
1. The Armed Forces, formed by the Army, the Navy and the Air Force, Their mission is to guarantee the sovereignty and independence of Spain, defend its territorial integrity and constitutional order.
2. An organic law will regulate the bases of the military organization in accordance with the principles of this Constitution.
The linked organic laws are reviewable in a broad or restrictive sense by means of votes with a simple majority in parliament.. The section 1. “They have a mission” is a carte blanche that legitimizes military personnel to do whatever they want with our society. [with us, with our young people], when they deem it convenient:
– Ley 36/2015, from 28 of September, of National Security.
– Military Jurisdiction Code.
-Organic Law 14/2015, from 14 October, of the Military Penal Code.
The article 116 of the Spanish Constitution currently says: *(State of siege is synonymous with state of war)
1. An organic law will regulate states of alarm, exception and site, and the corresponding powers and limitations.
2. The state of alarm will be declared by the Government by decree agreed upon by the Council of Ministers for a maximum period of fifteen days., reporting to the Congress of Deputies, immediately assembled for this purpose and without whose authorization said period cannot be extended.. The decree will determine the territorial scope to which the effects of the declaration extend..
3. The state of emergency will be declared by the Government by decree agreed upon in the Council of Ministers, prior authorization of the Congress of Deputies. The authorization and proclamation of the state of emergency must expressly determine its effects., the territorial scope to which it extends and its duration, which may not exceed thirty days, extendable for another equal period, with the same requirements.
4. The state of siege will be declared by the absolute majority of the Congress of Deputies, at the exclusive proposal of the Government. Congress will determine its territorial scope, duration and conditions.
5. The dissolution of Congress cannot be carried out while some of the states included in this article are declared., the Chambers being automatically convened if they are not in session. Its operation, as well as that of the other constitutional powers of the State, They cannot be interrupted during the validity of these states.
Congress dissolved or its mandate expired, if any of the situations that give rise to any of said states occur, The powers of Congress will be assumed by its Permanent Deputation.
6. The declaration of states of alarm, of exception and siege will not modify the principle of responsibility of the Government and its agents recognized in the Constitution and in the laws.
Simple majorities in Parliament can determine declarations of war, restrict the fundamental freedoms and rights of citizens, expropriations, seizures, compulsory community civil works, establish mandatory levies that would automatically refer the affected citizens to military jurisdiction. Also tighten the reference legal regulations in record time:
– Ley 36/2015, from 28 of September, of National Security.
– Military Jurisdiction Code.
-Organic Law 14/2015, from 14 October, of the Military Penal Code.
The article 63 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:
1. The King accredits ambassadors and other diplomatic representatives. Foreign representatives in Spain are accredited to him.
2. It is up to the King to express the consent of the State to be bound internationally through treaties., in accordance with the Constitution and the laws.
3. It is up to the King, prior authorization of the Cortes Generales, declare war and make peace.
The Head of State simply sanctions (a rubric) what is determined by SIMPLE MAJORITIES of Parliament. But the figure of the king is inviolable, The Government is responsible for its actions, It is the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces (Articles 56, 64 Y 62 of the Spanish Constitution). Next to nothing.
The article 117 of the Spanish Constitution currently says:
1. Justice emanates from the people and is administered in the name of the King by Judges and Magistrates who are members of the judicial power., independent, immovable, responsible and subject only to the rule of law.
2. Judges and Magistrates may not be separated, suspended, transferred or retired, but for any of the causes and with the guarantees provided by law.
3. The exercise of jurisdictional power in all types of processes, judging and executing what was judged, corresponds exclusively to the Courts and Tribunals determined by the laws, according to the rules of competence and procedure that they establish.
4. The Courts and Tribunals will not exercise more functions than those indicated in the previous section and those expressly attributed to them by law to guarantee any right..
5. The principle of jurisdictional unity is the basis of the organization and operation of the Courts. The law will regulate the exercise of military jurisdiction in the strictly military sphere and in cases of state of siege., in accordance with the principles of the Constitution.
6. Exceptional Courts are prohibited.
Here we return to the “reference laws” that leave everything tied and well tied in the hands of the politicians of the two-party system, judges and military judges. On the “prohibition” of exceptional courts, We already know very well how soldiers “act” executively and summarily when they search for civilian “deserter” conscientious objectors or enter a population that has been hostile to them.: plundering, violating, torturing, killing:
– Ley 36/2015, from 28 of September, of National Security.
– Military Jurisdiction Code.
-Organic Law 14/2015, from 14 October, of the Military Penal Code.
There are more references to military prerogatives in the Constitution.
Surely not even a significant minority of the politicians in the Spanish Parliament and Government are in favor of the task or the imagination of entering into a war., but the international commitments acquired by the State are those that are, and who they are with. Thus, The State is not sovereign in certain decisions. More like just another servile pawn, in international geopolitics. And the citizens, the town, cheap cannon fodder.
An incipient militarist ghost haunts the peaceful Europe of the European Union, which already seems to be the Europe of NATO. Fine rain gradually creating states of opinion, if not favorable, at least not resistant to possible war scenarios in the medium-term future (which could be a few years). The Spanish Minister of Defense dances to that game, the greatest exponents of the European Union, also [The reason for the creation of the EU was precisely to avoid a new military conflict in Europe.].
There need not be an imminent danger of war, and less in our territory. Nobody expected, the day before, that the Balkan firecracker would explode in 1991, nor that of Ukraine in 2022 (seemed a bit like the cyclical defiant occurrences of the “madman” of North Korea). Wars “only happen in poor and distant lands”.
In any case, there is the possibility of mandatory recruitment of our boys to go to distant lands to kill and die to comply with the agreements and commitments of the world's powerful powers. (and that our powerful people signed at the time, with very little popular opposition. Mud and sludge). And an entire state legal regulation that protects and legitimizes the repression of potential dissidence..
Businessmen imagine blood and are already salivating for safe business. Politicians play their game without counting on pawns, us and us. AND WITHOUT OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. PLAY WITH OUR REASON FOR BEING.
So it's about not getting there, not even remotely. Preventively then, Collectively create from the citizens a strong anti-militarist emotional and identity environment that acts as a true deterrent agent against potential warlike whims on the part of the state legislative or executive powers., on duty. With war to war, if possible:
At home.
between the family.
By word of mouth.
With co-workers.
Require it in educational centers as parents, mothers and family.
In educational centers (as teaching workers)
with friends.
on the street, in the store.
Carrying out dissemination and dialectic events.
Persecuting and inciting politicians from the locality…
Persecuting and urging businessmen from the locality…
Extending the oil pond.
Acting…
Without forgetting the possible feasible actions so that no one has to kill or die in any war anywhere in the world.
Having done everything so that NOTHING HAPPENS.
