There were several street demonstrations that, since even before the increase in the value
of the tickets, said in loud and clear "no INCREASE"! The struggle for Public Transport
since last year sought to articulate and coordinate different sectors and political and
social organizations this year took a qualitative leap and in conjunction with the road,
secured a bigger unit, arguing and acting a minimum programme of claims that have been
publicized, discussed, and panfleteadas in the streets. The mainstream media, always at
the service of the interests of transport entrepreneurs, tried all forms play the
population against the demonstrations, calling them General debauchery, disorder,
vandalism and trying to belittle, criminalize and hide the cries that gradually grew and
filled the streets.
It was not enough and never will be. More and more people have been adding and showing
that people United will never be defeated. On Monday, April 1 (anniversary of the military
coup in Brazil), symbolic date for those companions who dared, as today we dare, organize
and oppose a military regime that the killer kidnapped, tortured, killed and disappeared,
about 10,000 people held a show of strength in a combative way that silent the mouth of
RBS and the other "big" media that meet a disservice to the people. And again, only this
time under a lot of rain, the streets of Porto Alegre were taken by thousands of
protesters weary of both neglect and sem-vergonhice of the City Hall and transport mafia.
Before the March, a news: the increase was repealed through an injunction; the passage
back to 2.85.
Victory! However partial and that can be reversed at any time. Even with the news, the
demonstration was held, after all, require $ 2,60! Thousands below the rain shouting "who
DOES NOT WANT to INCREASE JUMPS", "THIEF, an INCREASE FORTUNATI no!", "come, come, COME
FIGHT COMES AGAINST increasing!", "If the ticket INCREASE, PORTO ALEGRE WILL STOP". This
achievement, far from being the result of bureaucratic measures and two councillors,
mediation was the result of direct action of thousands of people who followed the theme of
public transport in the city of Porto Alegre. Was the result of the mobilization of all of
us who dare we make with our own hands. Without the struggle for public transport, and
without the Terminal occupations, flyering, advertising and the combative marches, no
withdrawal would be granted. So, we need to keep our mobilization, not lower our guard,
because entrepreneurs have set their sleeves from outside, saying that are operating with
losses and threatening to cut.
A road companion, for posting on social networks criticism Fortunati, was fired. A
companion being subpoenaed by the police and the transport is not in fact public. We have
a lot to do still fighting companheirada! We want and we will not hand the r $ 2,60.
Already! We want and we will not hand to keep in mind the shipping tariff free public
really throughout society. We will maintain our solidarity road workers and their claims.
Public transport is not good!
We invite everyone to participate in the Assembly of the control Block by Public
Transport, this Sunday, April 07 to 16:00 in the SIMPA. We will further strengthen this fight.
