Breaking news
The political crisis between MAS and the Media Luna is exacerbated
5000 cooperative miners from Cochabamba have risen up along with the poor peasants, and the Huanuni miners announce a staged mobilization, while the interdepartmental roadblocks do not stop
OUT WITH ÁÑEZ'S MILITARY DICTATORSHIP!
We must finish tearing down the “pacification” deal among MAS, the coup leaders and the COB bureaucracy, blessed by the OAS and the UN!
Down with the COB negotiating board, the Unity Pact and the murderous government!
Let the COB break with the bourgeoisie! Out with the collaborationist bureaucracy that has again come to negotiate with the murderers of the Bolivian people!
In Cochabamba, around 5,000 miners from the cooperatives along with the poor peasants shouted “FueraÁñez” (“Out Añez”) from the town of Sayari, in the municipality of Arque (Cochabama) along the highway in the direction of Viluyo Oruro, where they made a massive assembly; in El Alto, districts 8, 7 they played a leading role, as the neighbors indicated that the elections are no longer under discussion, but rather how to remove the fascists from power.
Also yesterday, an assembly of delegates from Huanuni mine was held, where they voted to leave it in stages, while the farmers of Potosí threatened to encircle the department of La Paz. The reason is the situation is already unbearable: massive deaths of covid-19, families suffering from hunger with their malnourished children, layoffs in
factories, crisis in state mining, brutal repressions, among other unprecedented maladies, while the government does not stop threatening with repressions and fascist groups such as the Unión JuvenilCruceñista (UJC) uhhhh have furiously warned of intervening in the blockades, just as they did in times of the coup, where women in "polleras"(traditional skirts used by original people and Peasants' in Bolivia) were beaten and whipalas (flag that is a united symbol of all the original peoples in Latin America) burned.
In the political crisis of those on top, which is growing worse, those from below begin to break in, among which miners with dynamite in hand begin to weigh on the national situation. That's how a fight must be eaged! Let the miners of HuanuniColquiri, Potosí, and the exploited base of the cooperativists in alliance with the poor peasants, the neighbors of the districts of El Alto, break in!
That's how a fight must be eaged!
Quickly, with great ruling class instinct, for fear that the mining movement would break through with working class independence, the fascist government and the UN itself called from the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) to a negotiating board where the bureaucracy of Huarachi of the COB (Bolivian Central Union), Orlando Gutiérrez of the FSTMB (mineworkers' union) and the Unity Pact of the MAS accepted to go. Once again, MAS with its Unity Pact and the COBist bureaucracy (negotiating in extremis) places itself at the service of the coup leaders who have massacred workers and peasants and try to patch and re-sew in whatever way the “pacification” deal at the razor’s edge.
Down with the negotiating table bargaining over the blood and hunger of the people! Down with the infamous “pacification” deal among the MAS, the coup leaders and the COB mining bureaucracy!
Open the road to the exploited mine workers' base!
To crush fascism and the repressive institutions of the Áñez dictatorship…, Forward to the worker and peasant alliance with its armed militias! Private Soldiers Committees!
Shrapnel, rifle, Bolivia does not shut up!
