Former oil workers' delegate, member of PSTU Daniel Ruiz's endorsement from Buenos Aires to December 12, International Day of Struggle for the Persecuted Worker.
He was jailed for 13 months in the Marcos Paz maximum security prison in Buenos Aires province for fighting together with dozens of thousand workers on December 18, 2017 against the Retirement Reform Law
Daniel expresses his solidarity with the relatives of the victims and political prisoners from Senkata, Bolivia, and at the same time he calls on all the workers in the Americas not to forget the oil workers of Las Heras, Argentina, condemned to life and jail terms, when 6 years have passed since the infamous sentence.
A same and single class, a single struggle at world level!
Greetings from Daniel Ruiz
Six years after the brutal condemnation of the oil workers of Las Heras by the bosses' justice, justice at the service of the Transnationals, there is no other way than every December 12 remembering, not forgetting, we have to stand up firmly the workers fight, the genuine right to defend ourselves, the genuine right to fight for what belong to us, the genuine right to coordinate struggles nationally and internationally.
In Bolivia, a situation of coup is happening, where workers resist and, as a result of the trade union bureaucracy, they are not being advised or given the tools that the Bolivian working class needs to reverse the military coup. In that sense, there are many prisoners, there are many dead, that is why both in Chile and Bolivia, as in all of Latin America, the issue of Las Heras prisoners cannot be forgotten and must be reaffirmed with the absolute liberation of all political prisoners, but basically because there is other justice and it will not come from the bosses's side.
Thanks in advance and let's join forces nationally and internationally.
