From Bolivia

Special Motion to the militant rank and file miners of Huanuni:

ON THE TOUGH STRUGGLES OF THE MINERS OF ZIMBABWE (SOUTHERN AFRICA) AND THAT OF
RÍO TURBIO – ARGENTINA, AGAINST THE IMPERIALIST TRANSNATIONAL COMPANIES WHICH PLUNDER OUR N    ATIONS

The Argentinian miners of the state coal mine Rio Turbio came out in struggle to confront the plans of privatization of imperialism. The servile government of Macri has dismissed more than 500 workers, in order to close this state company to privatize it and today those miners continue fighting bravely, together with their families, at the entrance of the mine. Also, the Hwangue coal miners in Zimbabwe (Southern Africa) have been heroically resisting for the past 30 days with a strike for wage increase against mining transnational companies. They live in a country with more than 90% of unemployment and is one of the poorest countries. They, today, are our best allies to confront the imperialists transnational companies and to centralize our forces to expropriate those imperialist transnational companies without compensation and place them under workers control. Solidarity and coordination with our class brothers from Zimbabwe and Río Turbio-Argentina!

Long live the struggle of the miners across the borders! The Huanuni rank and file miners and delegates of the sections already had spoken in solidarity and in favor of the struggle of the miners of Río Turbio, now the solidarity needs to be effective. Let’s fight from Huanuni and from the workers' organizations for a strike fund (one wage per miner / worker) so that the miners of Zimbabwe can continue with the heroic struggle against the transnational companies that enslave us here, there and everywhere and so that this struggle is not broken due to lack of resources.

From Zimbabwe to Río Turbio, from Huanuni to Cerro Verde-Peru, from Escondida-Chile to Colombia, from Spain to Ukraine...

EXPROPRIATE ALL TRANSNATIONAL MINING COMPANIIES WITHOUT COMPENSATION AND PLACE THEM UNDER WORKERS CONTROL!

ONE SINGLE BATTLE AGAINST THE SAME TRANSNATIONAL MINING COMPANIES THAT IMPOSE US SILICOSIS, HUNGER AND MISERY... LET’S FIGHT TOGETHER! ONE SINGLE CLASS, ONE SINGLE BATTLE AGAINST THE IMPERIALIST PARASITES!
