Colombia - May 19, 2021

The mass offensive advances and it's generalizing...
The time has come for the murderer puppet Duque to fall

So that those from above fall...
The power of those from below must be set up

So that no one hijacks our fight...
National Congress of Workers, Peasant, Indigenous and Student Organizations of Popular Assemblies and First Lines

Despite the attempts of negotiations, pacts and diversions, the brutal crackdown, the fascist gangs, the fallen, disappeared and imprisoned comrades, the struggle not only remains steadfast, but also advances and generalizes, joining the cities that are already in revolt.
Since Saturday May 15, thousands of us have taken to the streets of Bogota with blockades in different parts of the capital city with the epicenter at Heroes station, totally paralyzing transportation. In Ibague, unions and workers, along with thousands of protesters, march and blockseveral roads in the capital of Tolima. In Popayan, capital city of the department of Cauca, after hours of clashes, setting fire to the URI (Immediate Reaction Unit) of the Prosecutor's Office and seizing the weapons, we did justice for our 17-year-old comrade Alison Salazar who, after being arrested and raped by ESMAD's hunting dogs, took his own life.
This is how we have to fight! Popayanshows the way forward. Dissolve the murderous police and the ESMAD. Disarm the fascist gangs so that they don't kill us anymore. Weapons for the people!

Here, no one gave up; the bureaucracies of the trade union centrals, the bosses' politicians and the Stalinists did, negotiating behind our backs with the blood of the people. Out with the traitors of the Strike Committee and all the collaborationist parties and leaderships! They don’t represent us.

So that those from above fall...
So that no one hijacks our fight...
THE POWER OF THOSE FROM BELOW MUST BE SET UP

NATIONAL CONGRESS OF WORKERS, PEASANT, INDIGENOUS AND STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS OF POPULAR ASSEMBLIES AND FIRST LINES NOW!

Before it is too late, we must conquer the unity and coordination of Communes by neighborhood, by region and by city; we must vote delegates from popular assemblies, resistance committees, unions, students, poor peasants and delegates from the first lines, who will have all the authority to defend it with picket lines, self-defense committees and a workers militia.
We must expropriate the factories that the bourgeoisie closes and put them to produce under the control of the workers for the people; therefore, every factory that closes is a factory that is occupied.
For food distribution and self-sufficiency committees based on the expropriation of large supermarket chains and farming industry.
Only in this way we can conquer bread, decent work, land, health and free education for all.

Whoever has weapons conquers bread...
Workers and peasants militia to crush the fascists.
For committees of rank and file soldiers who disobey the officers and go with their weapons to defend the people.
The time has come for the FARC and the ELN to hand over their weapons to the workers and the people, to help the heroic youths who today face the murderous police gangs and the ESMAD, defenders of the murderous regime. No pacts or dialogues with this lackey bourgeoisie, servant of imperialism.
Down with the reconciliation pacts in Havana of the Castros, the Bolivarian bourgeoisies and the leaderships of the former-FARC that hand over the Colombian resistance.
No one has given up here.
Let no one think of hijacking our fight. This will not end until the revolutionary worker and peasant Colombia is on its feet.

Today our Palestinian brothers and sisters stand up, facing a brutal offensive by the fascist Zionist State of Israel and advance to retake Jerusalem, converted by Zionism into the "Israeli" capital. From Palestine to Colombia, the same struggle, the same revolution where the destiny of the world working class is at stake.
Long live unity in the struggle of workers, peasants, students and indigenous people! Enough of fighting alone!
Long live the struggle and solidarity of the peoples of the world! Never alone again!
Long live the struggle of the glorious Palestinian people! Zionism will fall!
