GeA pronouncement against the death of Carlos Alberto Pedraza. ---- "You are not alone,
your pain is our pain and anger is our dignified rage "Insurgent Sub-Commander Moses 1
---- We express our words of solidarity with family, friends and colleagues of Carlos
Alberto Pedraza, who gave his life to forge change and revolutionary unity. Unexpectedly
-forzosamente- has left this world but his words will be visible on ideas and ways to
build a new world, a world of illusion, hope and love, this new world we carry in our
hearts. 2 Party companion to live, live forever in the hearts and ideas, but also get the
prints and steps taken by the dignity and solidarity, in this building where we are every
day, side by side. ---- Carlos Alberto Pedraza Salcedo, who was a graduate of the National
Pedagogical University, disappeared on Monday, January 19, while on his way from his home
to a meeting in the center of the capital.
His body was found a few days to 60 km from the city, in the municipality of Gachanzipa,
lacking any explanation for his presence there. This, coupled with threats that have been
directed to Congress Movement of Peoples in which militated Carlos, besides the cause of
death was given as a shot to the neck from behind, show that the crime was committed by
force paramilitary, which has historically acted deliberately with the complicity of the
state and military forces. This crime of State, which is not isolated, comes amid a
worsening outlook against the organization and social mobilization in the country which
has resulted in a large number of people threatened, imprisoned under judicial false
positives, missing and murdered during recent months.
In this sense, students UPN and social movement again wear black. Again, homicidal and
dark arms of the Colombian State lash alternative and dissident thought. The crime of this
fellow soldier is a setback in the oligarchic pax 3 being promoted between the insurgency
of the FARC and the government in Havana.
We emphasize that the act itself, directed against an activist so committed to popular
struggles, is a message of government and its different expressions warmongers's intended
to fight: " Whoever moves you may be playing "; so another way to pay Carlos memory is not
letting us win by fear, multiplying the intentions of action throughout the country.
These words we write are a call to social movement not to fall into reformism and not
believe that the signing of peace will stop the persecution of those who criticize the
established order. Moreover, the murder of this teacher and social activist reflects the
strengthening of the fascist right and its paramilitary tool in an effort to benefit the
national and transnational capital continues to commit heinous crimes against those
organizations that want to change the social model, economic and political that prevails
today.
However, the murderers of Carlos Pedraza forgot that cut only one of the many roses are
still blooming in spring eternal social revolution, for the silencing of a rebellious
voice will not stop the progress of the different expressions on resistance of social
movements they will continue fighting to political power in defense of life, dignity and
rebellion.
Despite the sadness and pain that libertarians invade our hearts, we make a fraternal
invitation not to give up the hard work of continuing to build autonomous spaces of
resistance in universities, neighborhoods, sidewalks and streets. The best way to remember
Carlos Alberto is to continue building a strong student and social movement from below, is
to continue defending the teaching and keep walking along the paths of liberation with
peasant, indigenous, workers and all those who are on the side of the deprived.
Also welcome to pay tribute to partner effectively with expressions of solidarity,
claiming from the pressure of the prompt clarification of the facts that led to his death
social mobilization as well as protection for your close friends. Likewise we call an
exercise of memory so this case does not go unpunished nor oblivion.
For every wound, every death continue to advance, shouting, stomping with his fist raised.
And to paraphrase a song that today comes to mind, we are left to tell Carlos Pedraza: "
Nobody dies, mate, Nobody stops to fight, nothing ends here mate follow the paths of
people! Here every day is to continue until the final victory! "
Since the fraternity of the revolutionary struggle, our support and condolences respective
painful event that this entails.

slums, and if we destroy, we are also able to build. We who build in Spain, America and
everywhere, palaces and cities. We workers can build better cities yet; not scare us the

About Us
The Anarchist Student Group is an organization that students are satisfied with
libertarian affinity convinced / os that a new society without oppression, hierarchy or
social classes is more than necessary in these times, just as we are committed to organize
ourselves in such a way as to reflected this new world we fought in the here and now.
Why do we organize in the student area?
We presume that the oppression of the system under which we are preventing the free
development of human beings. This domination is not only expressed in economic ways
(exploitation, social classes, etc.) or physical (repression to freedom by the armed
forces of the state), but also life under everyday social relations, is how the culture
and capitalist society are tools to maintain inequality and injustice. Education today is
no exception to this, therefore, our places of education are designed to perpetuate this
order of oppressor and oppressed people; our political gamble as libertarians is to make
each of these spaces a trench where new values ??of solidarity are promoted, while we
organize to fight the tax.
How we organize ourselves?
We hold that the new society they will fight political cumulative we are developing today
in organizations and everyday spaces. In that vein, the following points not only show how
we structure ourselves but turn as we are planning a new world concordant these.
Asambleario Horizontal Federalism and direct democracy: The GEA each member is equal to
influence the decisions made. Federalism means that each space in which the person moves
militant has a different context than others, so it is organized autonomously within the
principles of the group. The offer direct democracy and horizontal, rejecting the current
that is based on assigning the responsibilities of each to others.
Criticism, self-criticism and militant commitment: We believe in a new world because,
based on the constant criticism, we understand that the current system is irreparable
mistakes and attitudes, but also argue that many of these are reflected in us / you same /
os and organizations in which we move, so self-criticism is important in order to create
new bonds of solidarity and fraternity. Similarly the organization is effective only if
its parts acquire a responsibility to themselves, a commitment as militants.
Autonomy and self-management: As a group we identify with certain criteria that are
completely different to the imposed order and also other organizations, which is why we
categorically reject any intervention into the GEA State, educational institutions,
political parties and industry Private. Similarly, we organize and finance from our own
work, enhancing our skills and creativity.
Political and tactical Agreement: Not only the desire to build a new world brings us, we
also need to do so under a single way to do it, so the way forward is common for people
GEA militants, who in turn are responsible for trace it.
Memory, research and comprehensive training: Not only we met in the group, also for and
militants a school where we reaffirm as enhancers of change from the practice and theory,
why promote the constant study to deepen these postulates, meet the context in which we
move, knowing the history that has brought us to where we are, etc.
Libertarian ethics: The way to end exploitation and injustice is not only going to
accomplish this, it is also important to get the ideology of anti-values ??with which we
grew up and that prevent us from developing with others harmoniously, so the GEA it moves
from moral principles that we practice from the everyday.
Solidarity and mutual support: We are in the GEA people you develop reciprocal bonds of
brotherhood, understanding that collective action is always more fruitful than individually.
Class struggle, the worker-student-popular union: We recognize that society is divided
into exploited and exploiters, keeping this order in the interests of the upper classes to
hold its privileged position as the oppressed sectors continue to create more wealth they
receive. The emancipation of mankind will only when this division is up, so that our
political bet is being with the interests of / as workers / as, with us / o the / os
students an active factor in these popular struggles .
What political bet he?
Internationalism, anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism: Contra interventionism nations
over others in the implementation of border and false superiority. We hold that the
struggle of the / os oppressed / os around the world is one.
Popular direct action: The emancipation of the / oppressed / as will be the work of these
/ as / as, which is why we reject the bureaucracy and the decision of third parties on the
matters; Instead we firmly believe that the rights and dignity fight with our own hands.
Contextualized and basic job: analyzing the situation and we constantly ask ourselves
within the popular movement in order to build a society able to overcome the mistakes of
the current system.
Feminism and gender diversity: Against sexism and patriarchy, for sexual and reproductive
self-determination of all people.
For the Libertarian Communism: against authority, the state and capital.
