Tribute to Leon Trotsky, 80 years since his assassination by Stalinism

Bolivia, Senkata - El Alto Salute by Franklin Quisbert, wounded in the massacre of Senkata, to the tribute rally for the 80th anniversary of Leon Trotsky's murder “Our revolutionary comrade Leon Trotsky has left a great legacy for our generation; today we must take it in our hands and go forward with his fighting.” Hi, comrades, I am Franklin, one of those wounded in SENKATA, on November 29, 2019. We have suffered all these abuses by this murderous government of Añez. I want to send warmest greetings to everybody listening, also to the conference of the FLTI, which is today commemorating revolutionary comrade Leon Trotsky on the 80 anniversary of his murder. He has left a great legacy for our generation; today we must take it in our hands and go forward with his fighting, by means of which we are going to attain everything we demand, both at international and national level. This damned people in the government of Añez are trying to make us sink, as soon as you rise up for bread, they are attacking you. We from Senkata want justice for our fallen ones. You rise up for bread, as in Syria, and you are killed, you are massacred. And the media conceal it, as they are for sale, they are bought up! But the fighting, the revolution, all of us workers must take them as a flag. We are exploited, laid off, imprisoned, murdered, disappeared… so we have to seek justice, all our voices in one as a single voice. Justice has to be done internationally! That's what I demand! Thank you.
