CALL FOR SUPPORT
.
The Spanish State has chosen once again by continuing its strategy of refusal to the Basque people and repression against the pro-Independence Left movement, through the arrests of activists.
It is necessary to overcome the repression and denial strategy of the Spanish Government and open a new political cycle based on respect for all political options and the Basque people’s right to decide.
The police operation was directed against the Basque working class and it was aimed at disabling the political initiatives that the Basque separatist left could carry out to overcome the existing political conflict.
For the working class it is essential to promote a political change in Euskal Herria (Basque Country). We of the working class need an alternative strategy to the prevailing social and economic model that makes us mere servants of capital and entrepreneurship today.
The Basque country needs a political change resulting in a democratic framework which recognizes the right of the Basque people to decide their future in terms of dialogue, democracy and political proposal. This is the scenario which LAB considers we need to build among all political, trade union and social agencies.
From this point of view, we demand the immediate release of our colleague Rafael Díez Usabiaga, former General Secretary of LAB, as well of the other detainees.
We also denounce the assault on our headquarters in Donostia-San Sebastian and insist that there be no further such attack.
We call on all to endorse the protests that are going to take place during the next few days in the Basque Country to denounce these recent acts.
We ask for the solidarity of all class trade unions worldwide and ask them to send us their messages of solidarity to the following email address: nazioartea@labsindikatua.org
