To the convicted Las Heras workers, family and friends

Dear comrades,
As a new year of the infamous trial that the Kirchner government and the imperialist oil companies carried out, we want to convey to you all our support and solidarity. We are with you, comrades! We have in our memory and in our hearts the fight that we gave together at that time in Las Heras where we participated in the march and the workers' Congress as delegates of our sector in Acindar, you were not alone, hundreds of organizations and fighters from Argentina and abroad were present with messages and actions, from Basque prisoners, Palestinians, from Japan, Syria and Spain. This struggle demonstrated that the working class is one in the world and we fight against the same enemies, the imperialist transnational corporations and their governments, and so we have twinned forces across the borders shouting: An Injury to one, is an Injury to all! You marked the path of how it was necessary to fight in defense of wages, against income tax, for the transfer to permanent staff of hired and outsourced workers and for the freedom of political prisoners, joining your fight to the thousands of persecuted and imprisoned people in the world and they tied their luck to the battles of the working class, for that reason you were always supporting and making flesh of each one of them. We had the joy and honor of sharing many of the battles of our class, as in the struggle of oil workers in 2015 when they fought for a salary equal to the family basket with a huge National Strike, because that was also what all the workers of the country needed. This is how you fight!
Today we are going through hard times, where the government, the employer in a pact with the union bureaucracy, in our case the businessman Calo, they have liquidated many of our conquests, making our salary more flexible and devaluing, that's why the whole fight you gave is more current than ever, as well as the fight for a basic salary equal to that of the Edible oil workers. But the fight is also urgent so that our best fighters are freed and drop all charges and that all of you, dear comrades, are acquitted. With hostages in prisons we cannot fight! Absolution of the Las Heras oil workers! We do not want any more hostages in the prisons of the exploiters! Stop persecuting the workers and the combative youth! Free Sebastián Romero! Drop all charges against all the workers and student fighters!
