The photograph of a police officer, armbands, taken Saturday, April 9 on the edge of the
event between the Place de la Republique and Nation, we succeeded. This agent, helmeted
and masked face, carries a sticker of the CNT on his pants. It is therefore clear that the
policeman tried to impersonate a member of our union. ---- We strongly condemn these
methods of infiltration processions which aim to provoke the demonstrators in a context
where the police make a systematic use of violence. For proof of this, our marshals had to
contact the authorities for a young demonstrator who had been on the tibia, a tense
shooting tear gas. ---- Wearing union stickers, face covered, no police cuff, insults and
violence are acts which many protesters are witnesses and victims. Since the beginning of
the mobilization against the labor law, we have seen the intensity of police violence and
repression, including against minors. CNT Paris condemns these methods and calls for the
release, the stay and the amnesty of those detained.
We require your services they publicly condemn these practices, they take firm and
concrete action to stop such actions, and they keep us informed.
In solidarity,
The CNT Paris

On April 17, 1996, about 1,500 farmers and peasants organized in the ranks of the MST / PA
organized a large meeting and decided to march to the capital of Pará, Belém, to present a
list of demands to the Government of the State and discuss with the whole of society the
need for a comprehensive agrarian reform. Among the points, the dispossession of the
complex known as Macaxeira. A mosaic of farms totaling 42,000 hectares located in the
municipality of Eldorado dos Carajás. On the way, at the time of the curve "S" in PA-150,
hungry and thirsty, they decided to block the road to claim INCRA food and water to
continue their journey. Such an act stopped the movement of goods and people coming both
from Maraba as of Parauapebas in Pará. It left farmers and Companhia Vale do Rio Doce
(CVRD) furious, as they could not move their goods and even less the values of cars coming
from the headquarters of CVRD in Carajás.
Ready. It was complete the equation for repression. Systematic occupation of land and then
preventing the flow of their goods, preventing their profits. That's when he realized the
perfect harmony between capital and the state against the oppressed class. A phone call
from the Valley to the then Governor of Pará, Almir Gabriel (PSDB), ordered the withdrawal
of farmers "anyway the road" - Colonel's testimony PM Pantoja, one of the coordinators of
the operation . That's when two battalions of Para Military Police moved to the curve of
the "S" and promoted the massacre: 21 killed and 69 maimed peasants . Among the
testimonies of survivors, in addition to the police not to use identification, were
recognized famous gunmen in the area wearing the corporate uniform. The most famous is an
individual nickname "parrot" it was fine "acclimated" inside the PM's property and boots
gandolas.
Twenty years later, what the peasants took to learning after so many dead and injured people?
In addition to the achievements derived from its direct fight, rest assured that only the
struggle of the organized people is occurring social changes. Examples of achievements as
the institutionalization of programs such as PRONAF (National Support Program for Family
Agriculture) and PRONERA (National Education Program in Agrarian Reform), and the
considerable increase of peasant lands by settlements Project installation (PA' s), it is
concrete evidence that direct action is the only language that the capital and the state
understand.
However, despite the struggle of accumulations, many social movements bet it would be
possible to advance the agendas of the field through the PT government project based on
classes pact and the worst kind of political bargaining. But the rich history of struggle
of the oppressed class has always shown us that without public pressure, leadership and
empowerment of the bases, no government will defend itself staves from below. The nature
of the state is to defend the interests of the rich and powerful, and all its structure
works for this purpose, regardless of who carries the mandate . As we know that if there
is social movement is because there are still struggles and achievements to do, and no
matter what party is in government, it is no guarantee that make some concrete
transformation for the people.
We do not deny the existence of certain social policies and programs, particularly for
people most affected by drought, famine, misery. And what are these conditions because of
a whole process of continuity of oligarchic political and a "misery industry", which was
also not shaken in these 12 years of PT government. And despite these social policies,
which were consolidated in fact the Government PT was the agribusiness model, which now
breaks records of export commodities , was the stagnation of agrarian reform and the
dismantling of public policies for peasant agriculture. That is, the balance of the
bargain that the PT made the capital is nothing favorable to the people of the countryside
and traditional communities. If not, let's see:
Lula was that opened the door to the transgenic soybean planting in the country. And when
re-elected, Rousseff opens a red carpet for Katia Abreu and the ANC in government;
In the first Dilma warrant the concentration of land in latifundia hands jumped from 238
million hectares to 244 million hectares. Since 2003, the first year of Lula da Silva,
there were 529 murders linked to the struggle for land and the struggle for recognition of
territories in Brazil.
To get an idea of the degree of land concentration in the country, the second largest
indigenous ethnic group in Brazil, the Guarani Kaiowá (the largest are the Kayapó in
Pará), with 45 thousand Indians, it is confined to 30 000 hectares. While in the same
state where located most of their territory, Mato Grosso do Sul, there are 23 million
cattle that are scattered in 23 million hectares, equivalent to one hectare for each
animal. The Dilma government in 2015 did not sign any approval of indigenous lands, even
though in his 21 demarcation processes table without any administrative and / or judicial
inquiry.
In Brazil, there are now 214,000 Quilombo families. Of these, 92.5% are awaiting title to
their land. Maroons in Pará live with overlapping mining projects with at least eight
companies and deeply threatened by these firms. They are BHP Billiton , MRN , Vale SA .,
Amazonas Exploration and Mining , Redstone , Pará Metals .
As if that were not enough, the National Congress PEC 215. Orchestrated by the infamous
bench Ruralista, the project materializes a frontal attack on the people of the field. For
this project, it will be the same National Congress decide on the demarcation of
indigenous lands and the titling of quilombos land, which submits these processes to
financial interests and landlordism class.
At the same time, the criminalization of fighters and fighters is also a fact. On the last
day April 7, the Cacique Babau, the Tupinambá, was arrested in the city of Ilheus, Bahia.
A day later, MST activists were trapped in Iguaçu Falls, Paraná by the police and thugs
Araupel company, owned by Suzano. The result was the murder of farmers Vilmar Bordim and
Leomar Bhorbak and seven others wounded peasants.
We can not forget, also, the recent murder of Ivanildo Francisco in Mogeira (rural
Paraiba); Ivanildo was close to the MST, MAB and the CPT. The murder of Enilson Robeiro
and Valdiro Chagas, the League of Poor Peasants (LCP), in January in Jaru, Rondonia.
We understand that the hopes of the peasant people with what could be the government of
the PT in 2003 were real. But what are not real are EN policies to the people. And the
people do not want the crumbs that Rousseff and the PT now offer social and traditional
peoples movements, with the allocation of land for agrarian reform and recognition of
traditional territories, but do not have any impact on the brutal inequality of land
concentration in hands of agribusiness and large estates. As the PT could have done in his
12 years in office, but did not, and only outlines do now only by desperation to remain in
government.
Reinforced that today consecrated by Via Campesina as the International Day of Peasant
Struggle, we must stress that it is with the direct participation of the bases in the
conduct of struggles conquer and fight for our rights and for a more just and equal society.
Social change will not come from above, but the road built by the low. Direct-action and
radicalism in Fights!

Capitalism is relentless, ruthless, cruel and voracious ---- Our struggles for the
overthrow of being militant, collective and unmediated ... ---- "I was standing on a hill.
And I saw the Old approaching. But coming as a New. Crawling on new crutches. That no one
had seen before. And new mass murderer putrid smells. That nobody had xanamyrisei (...). "
---- Mn. Brecht ---- Six years after the inclusion of the country in regime international
audits by political and economic EU directorial, ECB and IMF, with the agreement of the
local civilian staff and local bosses, the attack at the expense of the vast majority of
society continues. In fact, this is an attack that began at least two decades ago in
Greece as a result of capitalist restructuring taking place today at the global level and
new misery conditions gradually formed millions of exploited after the outbreak of the
global capitalist crisis with major axes the greatest possible seizure of social wealth,
the complete control and subjugation of human societies. Understandings and loan
agreements are just the modern version of this escalating attack aimed at complete
overthrow of labor relations and social rights for the benefit of the state and capital.
Before about two decades megalomegistanas Agnello, commenting on the politics of his
country, Italy, he said: "There is a kind of Left that is more useful than the Right. It
is at the left that can do everything you could do the Right. " And of course, this is not
only true in the case of Italy.
Today, the newly elected "aristerodexia" political management Syriza-ANEL pave the way for
the deepening of the operating conditions and oppression and for the intensification of
this attack in an even more extensive sections of the population. After having fostered
false hopes on the landscaping of the system through a government role-taking and
contributed decisively to the weakening of social and class movements that had developed
over the previous period, then adopted the same neo-liberal agenda with its predecessors,
fully in line with the requirements and antisocial patterns of local and international
elites, while attempting to give extended life in the already bankrupt political and
economic system through the formation conditions of social peace, national reconciliation
and diataxikis cooperation. Managing illusions systematically cultivated lately not aimed
at improvement of people's living conditions, as you contend for this their exponents. One
in which targeted and partially succeeded was the formation of consensus and assimilation
conditions humane enforcement of the terms of the new capitalist attack that is already in
progress by imposing new antisocial measures that increasingly degrade the life and
contribute greatly to the further ftochopoiisi and impoverishment of the population.
The adoption a few months ago, the 3rd Memorandum and the implementing laws that came,
came to seal the adoption of new antisocial measures involving the imposition of predatory
taxation (continued ENFIA and new taxes), the dismantling of social security, education
and healthcare (undermining further the already dissolved education and health systems) -
the new cuts in pensions , the elimination of EKAS and increasing the retirement age, the
release of the first home auction to holders of "red" loans, in perpetuating of flexible
working - "interest" as ruling Treaty work for most (establishment of programs voucher
-Further more flexible labor relations, individual contract, employer
terrorism-layoffs-reductions under the threat of unemployment, unionization hit), the
selling off of public property (ports privatization, airports and entire regions), to
impose hunger wages. at the same time, the perpetuation and rising unemployment generate
hard ftochopoiisis conditions, social exclusion and marginalization of hundreds of
thousands of young people (many driven up to suicide), which facilitate control and their
subjugation. It is a fact that confirms the antisocial and murderous nature of capitalism
not alleviated depending on its political operator, but instead, as the crisis deepens, it
becomes even more voracious and ruthless.
Key contribution to the manipulation and the appeasement of social and class resistances
have trade elite, controlled by partisan and bureaucratic mechanisms leaderships of the
unions undertake a mediating role between society and the bosses, time found in good
cooperation and dialogue with second, managing to total discredited trade union and
workers' demands, to foster defeatism workers and challenged the effectiveness of the
collective struggle. Today, having lost much of its mediation capacity, as large pieces of
the racers have turned back, attempting to restrict their class struggles promoting social
peace and diataxiki cooperation. Strikes - "rifles in the air", convened by the sold out
bosses of the government association (GSEE-ADEDY), trying to pull the wool over the
workers' eyes, while they put gravestone in the labor movement and its demands, and made
without planning and prospect thereby undermining the credibility of the medium in the
consciousness of the world.
At international level, the picture is no different. The capitalist restructuring taking
place in the direction of enforcement of state and capitalist dictatorship over human
societies through the establishment of modern totalitarianism. Despite individual
differences detected from region to region, there is no room for doubt that the severity
of the systemic attack takes the character total war declared by the global political and
economic bosses against the exploited and oppressed of the world. The establishment of a
permanent emergency regime within the western metropolises together by conducting a
relentless war in the wider capitalist periphery are the hallmarks of this war that aims
at full control of societies and the consolidation of national and supranational
mechanisms as dominant players in the global geopolitical. Meanwhile, there are also the
endokapitalistikes conflict through the emergence of various power blocs in the global
chessboard with different interests and aspirations.
The Greek state, as an active member state and southeast of the European Union border
guard and co-perpetrator in European capitalist integration, actively participates in the
formation of this international landscape by imposing poverty and indigence conditions
inside and standing up impenetrable walls for those who took the road of migration and
refugees because of looting and destruction led various areas of the globe yielding to
appetites of global capitalism. The effort to reduce their flow and intensification of
reconnaissance control creates a militarized area in the southern and eastern borders of
Fortress Europe which includes fences, police-military operations, international patrols,
minefields, warships and everything becomes useful in curbing this huge amount of people
trying to enter the "capitalist paradise".
Opposite to our violent devaluation of life, all us from below, workers, the unemployed,
youth, natives and immigrants, knowing our real needs, we must take life in our hands, to
organize and to fight collectively, self-organized and adiamesolavita in any society and
the workplace, in schools and colleges, workplaces, neighborhoods and streets, away from
any party and union manipulation which inevitably leads to the weakening and degeneration
of social and class movement. With base unions, neighborhood assemblies and racing
patterns of youths, pupils, students and workers to set up embankments in the state and
capitalist attack that ruined our lives.
For the wild-hit social basis there is no room for other illusions. The only real dilemma
should be the "capitalism or social revolution." The only realistic option is that of
social transformation, the process that structures of exploitation and oppression
relations imposed by the existing regime of slavery and misery and removal of existing
society organization structures , replacing them with other types of horizontal and
collective self-organization such as libertarian communes, workers' councils, the
assemblies and collectives.

Hundreds of thousands of protestors in the streets, strikes that start. Finally, it is
time to wake up while seemed overcome the arrogance of the capitalists and the fascist
vultures sneer.
But a social movement has two sides. This is both a developer of state forces and land on
which arise anew. The first weeks of fighting have revealed some issues raised.
First, the rising level of repression in the universities or demonstrations, the
government and the police are doing everything to break the strike and imprison. Let us
remember that the Social Democrats have always been among the worst police scoundrels.
Organizing collective and indivisible defense class solidarity with the police is a
condition for extending the fight and extinguish fear.
It is not easy to erase the effects of years of anti-social policies: fear, isolationism
and selfishness. Therefore, multiply the "gateways" in the fight: specific actions,
strikes, blocking, events at various times. As long as the goal remains the same: to bring
together and set in motion the anger and wills.
But the struggle is already in itself a victory: it is in practice that are forged class
consciousness and friendship among operated es. It is they who make these thousands of
angry cement renewal.
