On one hand, the private mass transportation companies, their ratchets, their private
security guards. More military police with his men (yes, all men), his cavalry, his
helicopter, his weapons. Do not forget the town hall and its partners in the neighboring
house, the city council. On the other hand, the male and female workers, students,
unemployed and unemployed, among many others who do not have the power to freely manage
their lives. Part of these are daily on public transport, to come and go, many others, can
not afford to go through the turnstile. ---- Anarchists are on one side, the side of his
classmates, the side of the low. Daily, picking up the "collective", the "BUSA", the
"brass", the "red lead". Alongside its, their. In the late afternoon, one afternoon to
return home became more expensive bands are positioned, flags begin to flare, voices
crying. On the other hand, shields, weapons, horses, and a helicopter are positioned.
Anarchists are on one side, the side of the organized people, their only possible hand,
after hundreds of years of history.
In Joinville / SC, a member of the militant Black Flag Anarchist Collective (CABN), an
organization of the Brazilian Anarchist Coordination (CAB) has a constant and vigorous
action to combat Mafia collective transport, represented by companies and Gidion
Transtusa, operating 50 years illegally with the endorsement of the political ruling
class, the PSDB, PMDB, PT alike who occupied the Town of Joinville. Acting and organizing
with the local collective of Free Pass Movement or Struggle Front by Public Transport,
organized people.
On Wednesday (22/01/2014), two militants CABN, accompanied by another member of the Front
of Struggle for Public Transport, were arrested after they returned the demonstration that
demanded the repeal of the tariff increase and the creation of a public company with zero
rate for the entire population.
The arrest occurred through an ambush of the Military Police of Santa Catarina, in which
Captain Venera, responsible for the operation, acted to meet the needs of private
transport companies, putting more than six police cars, about 20 uniformed men and
strongly armed. Our companions were swept away by the road, suffered cassetadas and
stepped on the head of one of them.
The weight of police anger is a reflection of how the organized struggle against militancy
demonstrates effective monopoly of public transport and endangers the interests of the
ruling political class. Therefore, we will not be silent in no time in reporting and force
the fight. As already recalled the anarchist comrades, "solidarity is more than words." We
are together today and tomorrow, strong and willing to overcome capitalism, and police
violence. We were not the first, will not be the last.
By the end of the military police!
Protest is not a crime!
Against the criminalization of social movements!
Increase Out! Out Gidion and Transtusa!
Increase Never Again
For a city without turnstiles!
