France, Coordination of Anarchist Groups (CGA) IAL #95 - Anarcho-syndicalism to the crisis (fr)


Invited by the group of Perpignan, Friday, January 25, 2013, fellow Gaspar Fuster (CNT), 
Oriol Rigola (Negroes tempests) and Mois?s Rial (CGT-E) came to talk to us about the 
current Spanish social situation and perspectives s 'open to revolutionary and libertarian 
in the period. ---- Of the unemployed, ---- besides! ---- The social crisis that the 
capitalist system engenders a private job six million workers in Spain. According to 
official institutions, the unemployment rate in January 2013 reached a record rate of 26%. 
Women are the most affected and unemployment reached nearly 55% of the youth population. 
According to the Fundaci?n de Estudios de Econom?a Aplicada (FEAA), 1 million young old ? 
e ? s 16 and 19 are neither in school nor employed ? e ? s. And they were less than 
400,000 just five years ago.

The Spanish government, willing to make sacrifices on the backs of the most needy ? e ? s, 
chose this time of great difficulty to remove the benefit of the DPR (the Spanish RSA) to 
any person who has never had a contract.

In Catalonia, for example, there is a one in four under the poverty line. At the Spanish 
State, 2 million households have no input of money because they include as unemployed or 
unemployed. As you can see, in addition Pyrenees, impoverishment is committed to forced 
march ...

The housing ...

Despite its low population (46 million inhabitants ? e ? s), Spain is a leader in terms of 
building 25 million homes across the country. But it should be noted that between 2.5 and 
3 million of them are empty. INE even talking about 6 million vacant units. Precision is 
needed: in Spain, the average rental apartments managed by the public is 0.5%.

Since 2009 and the outbreak of the crisis in Spain, there are no fewer than 200,000 
deportations! It is true that there is an average of 140 eviction notice on a daily basis 
throughout the country.

Recently a Basque Amaia Ega?a, committed suicide at the arrival of the bailiffs when being 
evicted from her home. Narrated by the Iberian press, is dramatic, is unfortunately one 
example among many others. In fact, the housing crisis has generated a very large number 
of suicides over 70 in a single year for Catalonia. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of "squat" 
Housing has identified increased by 50% in Madrid, with a precision: the squatters are not 
only young ...

Cooperatives,

a cure

against unemployment?

Spain is the European country where the gap between rich and poor has worsened over the 
past few years. This shift has already begun under the socialist government.

In Spain, the cooperatives have a long tradition, living in the period, a definite 
revival. The Citizens take their own lives. Against the backdrop of "crisis", the various 
cooperatives resume that are no longer performed by the welfare state social functions. 
There are many examples in the health services, care for the needy and disabled persons, 
financial services in the areas of training, renewable energy, cultural activities, 
agriculture ... From the CEPES (Spanish association of social enterprises), there are 
22,171 cooperatives in Spain.

Work cooperatives, consumer and user ...

"Just like after the Civil War, where many villages, which were without electric lights 
and running water (founded) cooperatives to self-sufficiency, this model can now be used 
to offset reductions in government benefits in many social areas. "

One thing is certain: there is no support or policy to promote the social economy or 
cooperative! These cooperatives are often created "for ideological reasons. This is a good 
model that gives priority to work for human beings and not the capital ... "

Nationalism and false solutions

Catalan nationalists, to achieve their desires for independence, chose to occupy gradually 
positions of power in Catalonia.

They created their own structures, parallel and competing with those of the central 
government. So there is a Catalan police (seen by the progress ...!) As there is a Catalan 
university. In this college, the student ? e ? s today are executives of Catalonia 
tomorrow. For now, they and they aspire to be the best ? e ? s for later to finally 
distance themselves from these "lazy" Spaniards. A blow to this questions - especially 
when they evoke and Catalonia Grande from Perpignan to Valencia, as others speak of a 
Greater Serbia ...

Even the separatists who say fight "for Independence and Socialism," focus national 
independence, abandoning any hint of social struggle (against bosses) in favor of the 
political struggle (elections). For independence, no boss ? ? ? s, used ? e ? s ? 
unemployed ? s honest, have a common interest: the determination of the country.



Historically, these struggles of national liberation were the pretext for the local 
bourgeoisie to power through the lower classes, and then to exploit them for their own 
benefit. Do not dream, that want the Catalan bourgeoisie is to make profits so far are 
carried out by the Spanish bourgeoisie!

Our anarchosyndicalists for their companions, declared in favor of self-determination. And 
they want to push it to its highest culmination, that each individual ? e. And for that, 
it is not to create new boundaries with new central government, police and army ... short 
of new states. Instead, they know they will "destroy them and all systems of oppression 
(including churches), which are the instruments of the bourgeoisie to impose its 
domination. If we want to create a federal corporation and self-directed, freedom and 
solidarity, we must provide the means for building a revolutionary organization and class 
libertarian, in a word. Anarcho-syndicalist "

The rejection of politicians

The Spanish ? e ? s believe less and less in politics as it is practiced. They and they 
are wary of politician ? ? s. In this context, the libertarian ideas take a little more 
room in the debate. "People are less afraid of us," say our fellow libertarians. It is 
true that the many corruption scandals, splashing all levels of government and the Iberian 
political parties, dug a gap between citizens ? no ? s and leader ? e ? s policies.

Based on these findings, the Spanish anarchists ? e ? s obviously denounce the system with 
the impoverishment of the people, the growing wealth of the rich, the corruption of 
politicians, without omitting to criticize desire for independence Catalans. "This is a 
smokescreen, a movement of the Catalan bourgeoisie. The parliament is not representative. 
We support the independence of peoples and not a state. "

Added to this, in the "alternative" (which include the CGT and CNT, among others), there 
is a lot of world events. For example, in those of 14 November 2012 there were 100 000 
people gathered in the procession "Red and Black", which was not seen in years. But these 
impressive processions, Madrid and Barcelona, ??should not obscure the fact that 
anarcho-syndicalism is still a minority practice against the reformist central, 
bureaucratic and fully integrated management system.

Hope

"It happened in 1936 marked Spain, the anarchist movement is part of its history. This may 
be the catalyst for a new revolution. "
