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

Bolivia, Senkata - El Alto Greeting to the ceremony by Gloria Quisbert, member of the board of the Association of Dead and Injured Victims of the Senkata Massacre, El Alto - South Zone, La Paz "We need international and national support for justice for workers and peasants, so as not to be abused and for our rights not to be violated" Good afternoon, a cordial greeting from La Paz, from the Association of the Senkata massacre of November 2019. Today we want to support this great tribute paid on the 80th anniversary of the great revolutionary Leon Trotsky who fought against Stalinism and was assassinated by it. Today he left us a great gift, the international unity of workers in the Fourth International that fights for socialism. Many of us find ourselves seeking justice today, in homage to our comrade León Trotsky and also in homage to the founders of the Fourth International (…) We ask for the support of all of you for the great pain that cannot be forgotten. On August 19, we have completed nine months of the massacre and the government does not want to listen to us. We are humiliated, persecuted, we are hurt and they hide everything (...) We need international and national support for justice both for the workers and the peasants so as not to be abused and also so that they no longer violate our human rights. Thank you very much.

Gloria Quisbert
