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).

Aquestes actuacions ens demostren que no val abaixar la guàrdia en la defensa dels drets i les llibertats.

If you despise “the young man”, “her” or “the other” you are not welcome in the Confederation.

[It will only be a few short lines]

It all started back in the 15th century (Yeah, more or less with the famous “discovery” of America).

“Everything” was the globalization of looting, extortion, robo, exploitation, slavery, violations, murders, destruction of cultural identities to achieve [WE LOVE THEM] gold and goods.

The beginnings of Precapitalist Original Accumulation: America, Asia, Oceania, Africa…

To achieve that, starved, taxes and plunged the common people of the ancient Kingdom of Castile into secular misery, That's why today it is "empty".

[The same as their namesakes to the common people of France, Portugal, Belgium, England, Netherlands, Russia, China, Japan, USA…].

After World War IIthat was no longer civilized” and they showed that, out of humanism they freed them: but in the form of Western Capitalist States, favoring submissive minorities and maintaining control of mines and plantations [Economic Imperialism]. More poverty and hunger for the common people of those latitudes.

Almost no one wants to flee their land, the “small homeland”, if not driven by hunger and desperation.

That in Catalonia this is not new, noses! (From all the interior counties, legions of heirs towards Terrace, Sabadell, Low Llobregat, Kisses and Barcelona).

That in Spain that is not new, nose! (From all places to the barracks of Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla…).

The imbeciles despised them: peccaries, pallets, jerks…

They despised “otherness”, the last one to arrive:

  • The “outside”.

  • The “new or the apprentice” in the factory.

deep down, the mean and cowardly germ of hatred of the different.

Behind “them and them” there was only nostalgia, hunger and poverty.

Many people showed hospitality towards them. They showed their gratitude amply..

DESPISE “THE OTHER” for himself, YOU'RE MISERABLE!

What were “Spanish”? That the "first" were Catalans??

We anarcho-syndicalists have no homeland. Yes, different social and cultural identities that enrich us and unite us in solidarity with all people. [masters and their lackeys are not people].

That foreigners steal?

It's a lie. The vast majority of “foreign” people seek work and dignity in their lives.

In any case, a minority of poor people roban or son uncivic. The vast majority of people in precarious situations suffer passively and selflessly from their misfortune..

ANOTHER THING IS THAT CRETINS ONLY FIX WHEN THEIR SKIN COLOR IS DIFFERENT (or that they find vandalism or crime on the part of their supposedly “native” countrymen as a “normal” thing.. To make him psychoanalyze)

Stripping people of their dignity, robbing them of their right to be known by their first name and stigmatizing them as “immigrants” or “criminals” based on their place of birth, only fools do it.

Those and those (overwhelmingly they were those) Yes, they have stolen and steal with hands full of sweat OUR work and OUR taxes are the MASTERS:

Yes, those guilty of everything since the 15th century and whom the mean people do not lack the language to slavishly flatter.

It is necessary to remember that the “Social Shield: education, public health, social cohesion…” that comes from our taxes was created with the objective of compensating and avoiding situations of extreme poverty, not to feed the “bites” of the Businessmen and Politicians that we all have in mind.

Perhaps the xenophobic worker is really concerned that some of the “others” may have the same rights and, through own effort, surpass them on the “social scale” exposing their shame and ineptitude.

The National Institute of Statistics offers us some very graphic population pyramids [Catalonia and the State of Spain, as a sample].

 

Population pyramids of Catalonia and Spain, 2022 [Source: INE]

The data is from the registered resident population. The same source shows us in both cases a rampant tendency toward aging. (retired population or to attend in the short future), very low birth rates (surely they would be even more so without counting on “the others”, up to second generations), vegetative growth (births minus deaths) negative and positive real population growth as a consequence of the immigration process (young people and with a higher fertility rate than, Fleeing from misery, they look for a job to give dignity to their family and their lives.. Does it sound familiar to us??).

The social and demographic context is alarming, Yeah.

If we eliminate distraction maneuvers, those responsible are clear.. And they mostly have the Pedigree of many more than 8 aristocratic and bourgeois surnames: LOOTING WITH FULL HANDS SINCE THE 15TH CENTURY.

A Study economic establishes that the Gross Domestic Product would be needed (GDP) during 1.000 years of all the States participating in the colonial processes to “compensate or restitute” the damage caused to the colonized territories and societies.

The pain caused by rape and torture is already irreparable, as well as the cultural annihilation of their identities.

Also to the balance of Mother Earth, “our” Planet.

In all likelihood, culturally homogeneous societies simplify coexistence. Also that THE ABSOLUTELY HOMOGENEOUS IN TERMS OF EMANCIPATED SOCIAL CLASS, EVEN MORE (a world without oligarchs or exploiting bourgeoisie, without power).

Xenophobic workers urgently need to change focus and go to the root of the problem: his submission to the Master and his mentality (even the thought has tamed them). Once one's own autonomous consciousness has been reconstructed, demand that they dedicate their millions to repay the evil done proudly by their families and “theirs”, so that “the others” can return to their lands and towns with guarantees of having a decent life. Those who want, Of course.

If you despise “the young man”, “her” or “the other” you are not welcome in the Confederation.

Friday. autumn evening. Girona. A bus leaves from Passeig d'Olot.
This will still stop in Mollet del Vallès and Sabadell.

It will be filled with people who, exhausted from the work week, they go further and this weekend they will travel 500 kilometers to Madrid to demand an end to speculative price inflation and preventive actions to maintain Universal Public Health and Retirement Pensions in the near and distant future. The thing also warms up to beleaguered colleagues. And real democracy.

Some of the travelers have just folded the “curro”.
It will be a long and sleepless journey. Other classmates were unable to attend this time. After, a tedious return home.

And so from many parts of the peninsular territory. During a break on the journey, they meet Rubí's colleagues. Also from Valencia.

Sometimes it's time to really roll up your sleeves, because the Cause well deserves it.
Today is one. There will most likely be many more.

The fatigue of the journey takes its toll and the procession finds it difficult to follow the chants, slogans and dances during the demonstration.
So much is worth. There they are. A grain of sand.
The atmosphere is one of humility and self-sacrificing brotherhood. This matters!

To all those who dedicate their lives to noble causes!

ADMIRABLE!

Stop repressió!

Aquest matí del dimarts 27 de febrer estava prevista una roda de premsa prèvia a acompanyar a l’Ermengol i a dues companyes més fins a la fiscalia superior de Catalunya per fer front a l’ordre de recerca i captura pels fets relacionats amb l’ocupació del Rectorat de la UAB a l’abril de l’2013. Finalment la roda de premsa no es va fer i l’Ermen i la companya Bàrbara van ser detinguts a la fiscalia i traslladats a la comissaria dels mossos d’esquadra de les Corts per ser posats a disposició del jutjat.

SINCE THE UNION SECTION OF THE CGT WAS CREATED IN LITTLE BUDDHA, IN JULY 2017, WE HAVE NOT STOP RECEIVING PRESSURE TOWARDS OUR UNION RIGHTS.

 

 

UNION REPRESSION IS ADDITED TO THE LABOR REPRESSION THAT TWO MEMBERS OF THE SECTION HAVE BEEN SUFFERING PREVIOUSLY.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To this day we have suffered:

-Suspensions of 60 days of employment and salary due to the existence of a section Twitter account and the use of public haghtags that the company considers its own (acts that the company considers as “hostiles”).

-Demand of 150.061,27 € for the activity on Twitter of the union section and because the company considers that we want “profit” in her name.

-Suspension of 60  days of employment and salary for disciplinary measures without objective and reasonable justification to a member of the union section. Among them for supporting the strike on November 8 and assisting the doctor during working hours for a pregnancy checkup, alleging damage to the organization of the company.

-15 days of suspension for collecting information about Lipoatrophy in relation to pregnancy.

-Degradation of our job performing lower category tasks, taking away all kinds of access to the tasks of almost 10 years of work.

-We don't knowrecthe other day  as a union section andse warns us that we cannot distribute information to workers at the company door during non-working hours without prior communication.

Se has communicated to us actively and passively that WE WANT OUT OF THE COMPANY, it is considered that we create a bad environment and we are not loyal, along with abusive behaviors aimed at professionally and psychologically degrading. It seems that by not getting us to voluntarily leave our job due to exhaustion, a dismissal is manufactured that does not entail a cost to the company..

FROM THE UNION SECTION OF THE CGT WE DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL OF ALL SANCTIONS AND COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE MEMBERS OF THIS SECTION.

 

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE AND THAT WE DO NOT THINK ABOUT GIVING UP OUR UNION AND LABOR RIGHTS

Ahir diumenge 7 de gener els Mossos d’Esquadra van detenir al Carles D., antic estudiant de la UAB i una de les persones encausades en el cas conegut com “27 i més”. Recordem que el cas dels “27 i més” va iniciar arran de diverses denúncies de l’anterior equip de govern de la UAB contra 25 (ara antics) estudiants i dos treballadors, un PAS i un PDI, que havien sigut actius en les protestes universitàries dels cursos 2011-2012 i 2012-2013 contra l’increment de les matrícules, els acomiadaments de professorat, les retallades i les privatitzacions. Unes denúncies que van comportar que la fiscalia, recollint el relat presentat per l’aleshores rectorsecretària general i vicerectora d’estudiants, estigui demanant penes de presó d’entre 11 i 14 anys per a cada encausat/da, a banda de 5 anys d’allunyament de la UAB, multes de 9.500 € i una responsabilitat civil que finalment han rebaixat a 14.000 €.Com a resultat d’això ahir, possiblement per primera vegada a la història de la UAB, a (ex)estudiant va ser detingut per lapolicia després d’una denúncia feta per motius polítics per la pròpia universitat. Una imatge que ens remet, directament, al franquisme.

Els darrers mesos hem tornat a sentir a parlar de presos i preses polítiques. I hem vist com una repressió que mai havia acabat de marxar torna a estar a l’ordre del dia. Ahir en vam viure un altre capítol que, tot indica, tot just ha començat. I aquest cop ens afecta directament, perquè es tracta d’un procés endegat per qui, en teoria, hauria de representar el conjunt de la comunitat universitària com és l’Equip de Govern. Ens pertoca, as we previously agreed at a CGT affiliate assembly and following the criteria of trying to make it unitary, ser actius i actives per intentar frenar una nova barbaritat del sistema judicial de l’Estat espanyol.

És per això que demanem al conjunt de la comunitat universitària de la UAB que estigueu atents i atentes a les convocatòries que vagin sortint del grup d’encausats/des (Més informació aquí) Però també emplacem a l’actual equip de govern a ser valent i a comprometre’s de manera clara i inequívoca amb la defensa de la llibertat també al nostre campus. Som conscients/es que aquesta és una situació que han rebut en herència de l’equip de Ferran Sancho. També som conscients/es que han enretirat la seva acusació particular de l’àmbit penal (no deixa de ser curiós que l’anterior equip sempre va negar que hagués formulat mai cap denúncia) i que han rebaixat la petició de responsabilitat civil. Però tot això no és suficient per desactivar una acció judicial que pot portar a la presó a25 ex estudiants, un tècnic i un professor de la UAB. Emplacem directament a la rectora a:

 

  1. Retirar del tot la demanda de responsabilitat civil per uns actes que es van dur a terme en el marc de protestes universitàries
  2. Contribuir activament a desmuntar, des de la UAB, les falsedats que en nom de la mateixa UAB es van dir davant de la policia i del jutge i que incriminen les 27 persones encausades.

No només no volem ser còmplices de cap empresonament per causes polítiques a la UAB, sinó que ho volem revertir. I la rectora, en honor a la història de lluita que ella mateixa reivindica, n’ha de ser un agent actiu. Li demanem que concreti en fets les seves paraules.

Companys / es,

next wednesday 18 In October, the conciliation will take place between our colleague Marta and the graphic design company Little Buddha.

Since last July the trade union section was established in this company, it seems that this did not take well at all that the colleagues decided to organize.

In this way, The hearing will be held next Wednesday. 11 In August, the company issued a written sanction against our colleague Marta (trade union representative of the section) to have a union section twitter account @CGTlittlebuddha, since the company accused the company of appropriating the company's trade name or using hashtags associated with the company such as #ommm (that we remember are public), in addition to asking that the colleagues destroy the shirt they have made to make themselves known among the workers.

We ask for your support, so that the company can visualize that if they touch us one, affect us all!!

we need you (when and where):

Wednesday 18 of October, at 11.30 a.m.

in the Department of Labor (C/ Albareda 2)

Enough union and labor repression in Little Buddha or anywhere else!

Fem front a l’escalada repressiva fascista que ha activat l’estat espanyol en Catalunya. La repressió des de la CGT anarcosindicalista l’hem viscuda de sempre, no és cap novetat. En tot cas ara la novetat és per a la burgesia, tot comptant que ells amb la seva classe política la vénen aplicant de sempre contra nosaltres.

Arribats aquest punt però, ho tenim clar, sempre lluitarem per la defensa dels drets i llibertats i contra l’opressió del règim capitalista i de l’estat, sigui quina sigui la seva bandera. Més enllà del conflicte entre dos estats, l’un en franca decadència, i l’altre volent sorgir, nosaltres estem junt al poble i la classe treballadora.

Enough repression, peró no només ara!!
Prou repressió ara i sempre!!

Press release from the Permanent Secretariat of the CGT of Catalonia

Faced with repressive episodes such as media searches, limitations on freedom of expression, of meeting, suspensions or limitations of rights and court appointments with threat of arrest, from the CGT of Catalonia we want to state that:

1.- Although the referendum call for the day 1 October is far from what we consider one complete process of self-determination, from our organization we consider intolerable the authoritarian response that is given by the central government and the state administrations.

2.- We are concerned and alarmed that the repressive escalation that we are experiencing these days and that is expected to be accentuated in the coming days will consolidate a cut in the spaces for collective participation.. And we also worry about that, apart from the 1-O referendum, this regression has continuity in other areas, such as the world of work and other social and civic struggles. Historically, when fascist attitudes enter through the door, they never come out if they are not expelled.

3.- From the CGT of Catalonia we express our commitment to the active defense of freedom and against any form of state repression. We call on our members and our union sections to put these principles into practice., on the street and where necessary, against repression and in defense of rights and freedoms that we will not allow to be taken.

eviction G l'Adaknt, Granollers

This morning was evicted the Social Center Okupat Ca l'Enkant, Granollers, with a great unfolding of mossos riot and police cars Granollers.

The last friday 3 March were summoned as CGT Vallès Oriental, together with other organizations, where members of the group told us the project autogestionario Ca l'Enkant, an open space where instead be given to all those groups, unions, policies, etc. and individuals who are in the struggle for social change and against the capitalist system of exploitation.

With all the difficulties of the case, starting with the pressure that had already begun to exert forces established DISORDER, this granollerina youth had begun to walk and build other forms of struggle to change the system, playing one of those sacred precincts of Power: Private Property.

Beyond eviction today, and tissue was begun, ties will endure and seek new spaces, because the first space already conquered in that action, It was the space of mentalities, was the realization that the properties can be useless collective capitalists do and give a social utility. What apparently it was just an experiment, It may be a touch of reality, this reality of occupation of spaces, Private reuse disused buildings, with a social purpose, cultural and transformation.

Social Center Okupado Can L'Enkant is a germ, It is a start, because in the early collapse of this system, They not reach them all riot of the world to stop popular will, the desire for freedom, equality and social self.

    C / Doctor Trueta 76-98, Metro Bogatell L4
    There will be vegan breakfast and live broadcast, bring your radio to amplify the sound!
  • 17.00 h Concentration in front of the CIE Zona Franca

We start the year by protesting for freedom!

On the floor the walls of the prisons!

https://marxapresonsbcn.noblogs.org

He 31 of December, a Barcelona, and in many other cities around the world, we live the New Year in a different way.

Durant 20 years we have approached the Wad-Ras women's prison, at the CIE in Zona Franca and in the old Model prison to send our voice to those people who are locked up and those who keep them inside.

"Because you do all this if it's useless? Prisons have always existed!
If they weren’t there, the thieves, murderers and rapists, they would camp the world without the punishment they deserve, Hi?”

We are told that the law is the same for all but the 80% of the inmate population is for reasons related to social inequalities and private property, and the 99% belongs to the popular classes.

We are told that someone who has done something wrong is in prison, but Spain has one of the highest rates of prisoners in Europe.. However, it has one of the lowest crime rates on the continent. We add the gag law to it?

In the meantime…
Real thieves work in banks and companies.
The real killers patrol our cities with impunity.
The rapists are forgiven and the victims are questioned.

Prison is a weapon of the rich and powerful against the poor and dissidents!

For a society without exploiters or exploited, for a society without aggressors or victims, for a future without powers or repression.

We walk together against the prison!

cgt-lola-gutierrez-dilluns-20161205CONCENTRATION Monday 5/12 at the Consulate of Greece
c / Freixa, 6 Barcelona (FCG La Bonanova) at 10 am
#LolaFreedom SOLIDARITY! SOLIDARITY!

Our partner from CGT, Lola gutierrez, has been imprisoned in Greece since last Sunday 27 of November, after his arrest at the Athens airport, accused of helping a Kurdish refugee flee the war and, probably, of death.
We celebrate that there are people who, due to their active involvement in the face of injustice, act on the ground, risking his own life and freedom. It turns out that our partner is one of those many supportive and generous people who have the courage to confront repressive regimes like that of Greece, country in which she remains in prison as she is considered an enemy of the state and will only be released when she is extradited and reaches Barcelona.

The European Union's agreements with Turkey to act as a barrier to immigrants and the humiliating treatment in Europe of those fleeing hunger, wars and death, You can have no other response than to disobey all laws that prevent people seeking refuge from being saved, through actions that allow helping all those who want to continue to have a future.

Illegals and criminals are part of the governments of countries that pledged aid and practice hot returns or internment of immigrants. We still remember the shameful photos of European leaders and their promises of aid to refugees.
From the CGT we are going to continue demanding the freedom of our colleague Lola Gutiérrez, we want her in Barcelona NOW, and we are not worth excuses from a "progressive" Greek government that imprisons those who are in solidarity with the most disadvantaged.

BEING SOLIDARITY IS NOT A CRIME
FREEDOM FOR LOLA GUTIERREZ AND OTHER PREY
WHO FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE AND FOR FREEDOM

mani-sorpresa-11-14-anys-pressoSome 500 surprise people to the demonstration of the CGT 15 September in Barcelona, from the Paral·lel to Plaça de Sant Jaume, passing by Ramblas and Ferran, in solidarity with the defendants in case 27i + to defend the public university, among them Ermengol Gassiot, General Secretary of CGT Catalunya.

The CGT is manifested by surprise against the cause that affects 27 people from the UAB

The union concentrates almost half a thousand members in the center of Barcelona in defense of the public and quality university

The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has summoned some 450 affiliates and supporters in a demonstration to denounce the case of @ som27imés. In this summary they are asked 11 years in prison to the general secretary, Ermengol Gassiot and similar penalties to 25 students of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and a member of the administration and services staff. In total almost 300 years in prison plus accessory sentences.

The anarchist union has taken to the streets without informing Interior. He has done so on a route that has crossed the most touristy Barcelona, from near the Shipyards to Plaça de Sant Jaume, passing by the boulevard. Nearly half a thousand trade unionists have called against the surrounding processions of large firecrackers and firecrackers. There were no incidents or police officers at any time.

Carta a companyes i companys: 11 peak years in prison

Ara que ja és públic, penjo la carta que he enviat a les meves companyes i companys de sindicat un cop hem conegut la petició fiscal pel cas 27 and more. Per si no ho recordeu, fa més d’un any la universitat on treballo, la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, va denunciar junt a una vice-rectora i altres persones a 25 estudiants i 2 workers (un company del PAS i jo mateix) per un seguit de lluites sindicals i socials. Tot plegat ho podeu seguir també al blog de la CGT-UAB.

Companyes/ companys

Des que sóc secretari general de la CGT de Catalunya mai he volgut adreçar-me a vosaltres de manera personal, ja que entenia que l’SP de la CGT de Catalunya som un equip i volem expressar-nos com a tal. No obstant, avui he optat per fer-ho. I us explico el motiu. Com ja sabeu, fa un any i pocs mesos la secció sindical de CGT a la UAB va denunciar que la UAB havia iniciat un procés repressiu, amb denúncia penal inclosa, contra 25 students, un treballador del PAS i jo mateix.

Ara hem rebut l’escrit d’acusació de la fiscalia. En ell, en el que a mi m’afecta, formula les següents peticions per haver participat en una roda de premsa on donàvem, la CGT i altres col·lectius sindicals, recolzament a una ocupació de protesta al rectorat de la UAB:

- Delicte continuat desordres públics: 2 anys i 10 mesos de presó
- Delicte de violació de domicili jurídic: 2 anys i 9 mesos de presó
- Delicte de danys: 2 anys i 10 mesos de presó
- Delicte continuat coaccions : 3 years
- Prohibició d’accés a la UAB (i, as we previously agreed at a CGT affiliate assembly and following the criteria of trying to make it unitary, al meu lloc de treball) durant 5 years

Quan la notícia es faci pública hi haurà un comunicat de la CGT al respecte. Mentre, simplement, us volia en confiança posar en coneixement de la situació que encara no és pública. No cal que us digui que el ministeri fiscal segueix ordres del govern i que l’acusació és un autèntic despropòsit jurídic, segons asseguren els i les nostres advocades. Tenim molt clar que respon a una voluntat política d’atacar la lluita sindical i social contra la privatització de les universitats i els negocis que empreses i alguns professors/es fan amb aquest procés. Tenim molt clar que, Besides, és un atac directe també a la CGT que tant a la UAB, a altres universitats i en molts altres espais protagonitzem una lluita en contra els interessos del capital i del poder.

Tot plegat, ens dóna encara més energia per seguir el camí que hem emprés.

Health, lluita i llibertat

Ermengol Gassiot, Secretari General CGT Catalunya

arton12021-4102aComunicat de la Confederació General del Treball de Catalunya

Volem informar que ens ha arribat l’escrit d’acusació de la fiscalia per les protestes estudiantils i sindicals a la UAB durant la primavera del 2013, durant les quals es va ocupar l’edifici del rectorat de la UAB l’any 2013. En una successió d’imputacions que qualifiquem de delirants i aberrants, s’acumulen peticions de presó que arriben fins els 11 anys i 5 mesos pel nostre secretari general, el professor Ermengol Gassiot, i peticions semblants per a 25 estudiants i un treballador del PAS (personal d’administració i serveis), delegat al comitè d’empresa del PAS pel sindicat CAU-IAC.

L’Ermengol, com a delegat de la Confederació General del Treball a la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona i membre del Comitè d’Empresa, va donar suport als estudiants que van ocupar el rectorat l’any 2013, que posteriorment es va convertir en una ocupació de tots els col·lectius en lluita de la UAB, així com també a les mobilitzacions universitàries que es van realitzar durant el curs 2012-2013. En totes les ocasions, va mantenir una ferma lluita sindical contra l’anterior equip de rectorat. En la mencionada ocupació, alguns professors i personal d’administració i serveis (NOT) van mostrar la seva solidaritat amb la seva presència a l’edifici, i fent les seves classes al rectorat.

La Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona s’ha personat com a acusació particular del present procediment. Es tracta de la primera vegada des del franquisme que una universitat pública denuncia penalment un professor i un membre del PAS per la seva pràctica político-sindical. I també és una situació quasi inèdita el fet que una universitat pública hagi denunciat penalment els seus propis estudiants.

La UAB no només s’ha personat com a acusació particular, sinó que també ha redactat informes per a la policia i ha perseguit clarament a aquelles persones que van ser contràries a la candidatura de l’anterior rector, Ferran Sancho. Tot plegat ha fet que el present procediment conformi una persecució indiscriminada de la lluita sindical i, as we previously agreed at a CGT affiliate assembly and following the criteria of trying to make it unitary, en una clara vulneració de l’exercici de drets fonamentals.

Aquesta brutal repressió i peticions fiscals basades en la revenja ideològica tenen com a objectiu acoquinar l’estudiantat, la comunitat universitària i la població en general.

Denunciem la persecució ideològica a la UAB contra tota oposició a la política de retallades i agressions a la universitat pública. Denunciem la responsabilitat i instigació de l’equip de Ferran Sancho en aquesta denúncia. Denunciem les mentides i revenges de l’ex-vicerectora Sílvia Carrasco, personada com acusació particular a la causa.

I recordem que a la CGT de Catalunya quan ens toquen a una ens toquen a totes, as we previously agreed at a CGT affiliate assembly and following the criteria of trying to make it unitary, no ens quedarem de braços creuats mirant com actituds feixistes pretenen engarjolar al nostre secretari general i a 26 persones que simplement feien una ocupació en defensa dels drets de totes i tots a una universitat pública, social i de qualitat.
