"People have all political rights today, not by the goodwill of governments, but due to
their own strength " Rudolf Rocker ---- The end of the year are marked by Christian
festivals dedicated to food and consumer society. But in Joinville, since 2010, the end of
the year now has a new feature, as companies Gidion Transtusa and enjoying the moment to
ask the mayor to increase the rate of transport. In the transition period the government
Carlito Mers (PT) for the businessman Udo D?hler (PMDB), the increase generates more a
concern, after all, the elected mayor thinks according to the viewpoint of the business
class. ---- The current mayor Carlito Mers, told the Journal Anot?cia (17.12.12), said
"give the readjustment of bus ticket still in his government. The index to be followed
should be inflation, which, by current calculations, would raise the passing of R $ 2.75
to about $ 3.00.
" And he emphasized that the increase will not let the elected mayor to D?hler Udo, who
keeps a speech together with businesses. The position of Mayor Carlito Mers reinforces the
current model of public transport, which seeks to profit at the expense of our real needs,
such as improved quality of life, free access to different parts of the city and public
control over transportation.
The people who depend on public transportation, you already know the tactics of companies
to request a higher value and the Municipality of Joinville sign a value that meets the
interests of entrepreneurs who profit from our right to come and go. Meanwhile, the
background Christmas, school holidays and the frantic pace of the consumer society is
ideal to demobilize the significant fighting force of local youth.
We organized anarchists, we believe the only option is for the people organizing and
popular struggle. Time to organize the struggle and take advantage of the streets. The
people should be the protagonist's struggle for their interests. We discuss with our bases
and compose a unit to fight the increase, a project aiming to mass transit. As I have
fought and conquered education and public health, now is the time to fight for a public
transport, free, quality, fight without expecting the kindness of rulers, but on the
street with our own forces.
