(en) Brazil, Anarchist Collective Black Flag - Increased rate in Joinville: A new year-end and the same story (pt)

"People have all political rights today, not by the goodwill of governments, but due to 
their own strength " Rudolf Rocker ---- The end of the year are marked by Christian 
festivals dedicated to food and consumer society. But in Joinville, since 2010, the end of 
the year now has a new feature, as companies Gidion Transtusa and enjoying the moment to 
ask the mayor to increase the rate of transport. In the transition period the government 
Carlito Mers (PT) for the businessman Udo D?hler (PMDB), the increase generates more a 
concern, after all, the elected mayor thinks according to the viewpoint of the business 
class. ---- The current mayor Carlito Mers, told the Journal Anot?cia (17.12.12), said 
"give the readjustment of bus ticket still in his government. The index to be followed 
should be inflation, which, by current calculations, would raise the passing of R $ 2.75 
to about $ 3.00.

" And he emphasized that the increase will not let the elected mayor to D?hler Udo, who 
keeps a speech together with businesses. The position of Mayor Carlito Mers reinforces the 
current model of public transport, which seeks to profit at the expense of our real needs, 
such as improved quality of life, free access to different parts of the city and public 
control over transportation.
The people who depend on public transportation, you already know the tactics of companies 
to request a higher value and the Municipality of Joinville sign a value that meets the 
interests of entrepreneurs who profit from our right to come and go. Meanwhile, the 
background Christmas, school holidays and the frantic pace of the consumer society is 
ideal to demobilize the significant fighting force of local youth.
We organized anarchists, we believe the only option is for the people organizing and 
popular struggle. Time to organize the struggle and take advantage of the streets. The 
people should be the protagonist's struggle for their interests. We discuss with our bases 
and compose a unit to fight the increase, a project aiming to mass transit. As I have 
fought and conquered education and public health, now is the time to fight for a public 
transport, free, quality, fight without expecting the kindness of rulers, but on the 
street with our own forces.
