Endorsement of Sebastián Romero, political prisoner in house arrest in Argentina, to the International Day of Persecuted Workers

Hello everyone, everyone, my name is Sebastián Romero, I am a member of the PSTU and the International Worker League (LIT), I was a political persecuted by the government of Mauricio Macri for demonstrating and facing the repression against the Pension Reform in the Plaza de los Dos Congresos in Buenos Aires. Today I am currently a political prisoner by the Alberto Fernández Government and I am under house arrest.
Today on the International Day of Persecuted Worker I want to take advantage of this space and send a big hug and a big greeting to all the comrade oil workers of Las Heras, but also, mainly, to all the workers in the world who are suffering persecution and prison, torture and the entire economic issue that different types of governments unleash with total cruelty on the backs of workers.
It is very important today to make the broadest unity and that our voice is heard, and that the fact that fighting is not a crime, it is a right, and today it is a necessity could be spread to the whole world, because this pandemic situation has put us all at risk, but mainly to the working class because governments decided to bet on protecting the economy before people's lives, and that was demonstrated around the world. Governments with a more reactionary discourse, others more popular front, but all supported, defended and cared about the economy and not about people's lives.
I also want to thank all the militancy, for all the solidarity that has surrounded me for my cause, for the cause of my comrade Daniel Ruíz, the strengthening with which all the militants, all political, worker and union organizations surrounded my family, because that is also very important to say that behind a worker fighter, behind a militant, we have a family and sometimes the family is not part of the organization, but it is very important to surround it with solidarity as all of you did with my family, and I am totally grateful for that. Today we have to avoid, more than ever..., and make it clear that fighting is not a crime, it is a right and a need of the working class, and the only way we are going to achieve it is with the broadest unity behind a program that solves the problems of our lives. And trying to unify the working class as a whole to end this savage capitalism that exploits us, oppresses us, kills us and constantly leaves us in misery.
LONG LIVE THE STRUGGLE OF THE INTERNATIONAL WORKING CLASS!
