Companions, companions,

The entire Catalunya and Confederal state CGT, We are attentive to the novelties that may arise around the case «Som 27 and more », since the call for all imputados is imminent to appear before the judge, For the oral trial, Among which is our partner Ermengol Gassiot, Secretary General of the CGT Catalonia. The ermen is accused as an instigator of the confinement carried out by students in the Rectorate of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, In the year 2013. As teacher and worker of the Department of Prehistòria, The Erm is delegated by the CGT. As they say in the SP CGT Catalunya statement, The Erm will not be presented to the oral trial, aware of the legal consequences that entails, But also aware of those who are by their side.

This is a assembly prepared by the UAB, university that as happened in all public universities, It has become the higher formation of the bourgeoisie and the breeding ground where companies are served to their liking. The public university, Like the rest of educational levels, It must be at the service of the working class, For the formation of socially free individuals, and not at the service of companies and corporations, What happens today.

That is why from the Oriental CGT Vallès we prompted the defense on the street to our partner Ermen, Because not only represents that opposition to the University Educational Model as a company, but because he is also general secretary of the CGT of Catalonia.
Hit the ermen, It is a double blow that they make us.

For these reasons, doble, And triple must be our answer!!
Because now more than ever, They are touching us all!

If they touch us all, We respond all!

We disobey the political process of the case "Som 27 and more ”

Our partner Ermengol Gassiot has decided that he will not participate in the farce and that he will not be attached in the court for his own will under any circumstances, facing the consequences that derive from your decision.

Recently the Cerdanyola Court that instructs the case for the confinement of students in the Rectorate of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) of the year 2013 (The case known as "Som 27 and more ”) He has issued a car where the oral trial is arranged and an absolutely disproportionate bond is set, from 511.835,05 EUR to ensure civil responsibilities. 27 prosecuted people following that university protest are waiting for criminal requests from between 11 Y 14 years of prison, depending on the case, and prohibition of access to the UAB during 5 years. Among them is our secretary general, The Compañero Ermengol Gassiot. The aforementioned bond, as everyone can suppose, will not be paid by the 27 affected and affected, which will probably behave payroll processes and goods.

During the next days or weeks the 27 people will be located to appear in judicial units to deliver a copy of the accusation writings, so that within the period of 3 days appear with lawyer and attorney, and are required to deposit bail.

This permanent secretariat considers that this whole process is nothing but a motivated assembly in a political rematch by the previous ultraliberal rectory of the UAB, oriented to scan by criminal via the student movement and the trade unionism that faced him in defense of the public university. The performance of that rector, and the conspiracy story built by the lawyers who hired for this purpose, has been used by the Prosecutor's Office, political organ of Spain, To initiate a sperm judicial procedure that is the worst case of political repression at a university since the time of Francoism.

Given this situation, Our partner Ermengol Gassiot has decided that he will not participate in the farce and that he will not be attached in the court for his own will under any circumstances, facing the consequences that derive from your decision.

This permanent secretariat fully shares the analysis held by the decision made by our partner Ermengol, And we support. We understand that before a political attack (Instructed in the form of judicial process) against freedoms and civil rights it is legitimate to practice disobedience and solidarity to publicly challenge the totality of this repressive assembly. We consider that at the present time we are playing a good part of the message that will be transmitted to the social struggles that will come in the future about the response that must be given to political-judicial repression. We play a lot, And punitive strategies through which any type of union resistance is paralyzed and scanned, Student or social must be stopped. In the specific case of the Ermengol, This assembly is oriented to suppress the exercise of the CGT union action in the UAB in defense of the rights of the workers and the public university and, beyond this, We consider it an attack on our organization as a whole.

We want to make it clear that, to the extent that this depends on us, None of the 27 prosecuted people are never alone. We call all the federations and unions of the CGT, The whole of our militancy, social movements and solidarity people to prepare the collective and organized response that these facts deserve. The CGT will not be waiting, nor will you have your arms crossed. We reserve the right, as an organization, to act when and how we consider it appropriate, taking into account the severity of the case.

Before political repression, we disobey! If they touch us 27 WE TOUCH ALL!
