#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SPAIN #MADRID #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) Spaine, solidaridad obrera: Solidarity No. 22 - THE END OF THE ANTI-PRIVATIZATION COORDINATOR OF HEALTH CAS. (Anti-Privatization Coordinator of Health) (ca, de, it, pt)[machine translation]

 At the beginning of this year 2021, the union organizations that we maintained

CAS Madrid and CAS State, decided not to enter into the legal fight with the
usurpers of the acronyms for maintaining the ownership of acronyms with which we
had been working unitarily since 2004, the year of its creation. ---- CAS was
always a Coordinator of trade union organizations, even for a short time
Ecologistas en Acción was also part of this Coordinator. Since its foundation, we
have always been the unions that signed the last communiqué (we were founding
members) and there have also always been CNT unions, at first CNT A.Gráficas,
always CNT Villaverde or CNT Comarcal Sur, and last season the CNT Aranjuez.

What CAS never was is what it says it is in its legal statutes. There was never a
"Directive" that functioned as such, nor did the positions ever have a
hierarchical function, as they do today.

If no CNT union has come together with these three organizations, at the end of
CAS it has been because they have left us stranded just when CAS received the
attacks of today's usurpers of these acronyms. A shameful behavior, to which on
the other hand we are getting used to.

The representation of CNT Aranjuez showed, in the meetings of July, August and
September 2020, its brazen loyalty to the outdated bragging of the characters who
have ended up usurping CAS. Some meetings in which we tried to react to the toxic
maneuvers, so it is not surprising that now the CNT Aranjuez union headquarters
is the headquarters of today's CAS, when since 2004 that headquarters had always
been in the premises of C/Espoz and Workers' Solidarity Mine. As for the CNT
Comarcal Sur in September 2020, it was scared without arguing at all, or giving
any explanation.

The trade union organizations that have reached the end of CAS continue to
maintain excellent relations and continue to fight together in many fields of the
workers' and social struggle, including the defense of public health. Now CAS is
a conglomerate of communist party militants (Red Roja, IC and PCPE) who have
recruited new people and have made the Health Section in the CNT de Embajadores.

Historically, in the workers' and social struggle in Madrid, there have been many
cases of appropriation of names and acronyms that in their day were unitary by
small groups, generally politicians. And they have always stayed with the name
exclusively, losing the convening power that that platform, coordinator or
unitary assembly had had when it really worked as a unit.

We sincerely believe that this case is now being repeated with CAS and due to the
"calls" made by the usurpers, we can see how from the more than 10,000 protesters
who took to the streets on June 20, 2020 (from Atocha to the Niño Jesús Hospital)
to the few four hundred of his last call say it all.

We reproduce the "Last CAS Madrid statement" that we publicly launched on January
19, 2021:

 From CAS Madrid (SAS-Assembly Union of Health, Workers Solidarity and Trade
Union Platform of the EMT) we want to make public that we have nothing to do with
the content of the texts recently published on the CAS Madrid and CAS State pages:

"The Primary Care we want" (CAS Madrid - State CAS).
«The medicine as a business and reasoned doubts about the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine
published with this title in CAS State (published in CAS Madrid with the title
«Criticism of the medicine as a business and argued uncertainties about the
PfizeBioNTech vaccine-Expanded version») .
We refer, specifically, to these two articles due to the inquiries we have
received about them, although any other text that has been published in the
previous two pages or with the signature of CAS Madrid or CAS State since the
initials of CAS were usurped ( in July 2020) have nothing to do with the CAS
Madrid that we have been representing the Coordinator of trade union
organizations that we formed as of January 2021 (SAS-Assembly Union of Health,
Workers' Solidarity and Trade Union Platform of the EMT).

We also want to take advantage of these lines to publicly announce that in the
last meeting that the three organizations that make up CAS Madrid have held, we
have decided to end our stage as Anti-Privatization Coordinator of Health-CAS. We
are not for the task of undertaking a legal fight for the ownership of the
acronym CAS Madrid.
This fight would distract forces from our activity and sow more confusion.

 From 2004 to July 2020, we have worked together to make communiqués, texts,
actions (such as those carried out in each of the privatized hospitals the day
the PP politicians inaugurated them), rallies , demonstrations, collection of
signatures, acts, etc. to defend Public Health and denounce the effects of
privatization policies and cuts on the health and life of Ixs from Madrid,
especially the working class.

To all the trade union and social organizations in Madrid and the rest of the
State with whom we have worked during these years, as well as all the people who
have been fighting with us on an individual level, we want to send you a hug of
solidarity and our deepest gratitude. , since we have all learned. As
unfortunately happens in life, there are those who believe they are above others
and who break whatever it takes to impose their will.

 From July until now, we have endured disqualifications and lies, both in public
and in private, from those who usurped CAS, but that attitude only reinforces our
position of continuing to work in unity as we have done until now, defending
public services and the rights of the class worker.

We will continue to defend Public Health and fight against cuts and privatization
in the way we consider best.

We continue in the fight:

Due to the repeal of Law 15/97 and Article 90 of the General Health Law. Rescue
of everything privatized. Primary care focused on collective health. Elimination
of parallel networks. Public-private incompatibility, Outside the Health companies.
For a public health and pharmaceutical industry.
For healthcare for all, regardless of the administrative situation.
For caring for our elders with dignity.
For a health system focused on the socia
