WORLD WORLDWIDE SPAIN News Journal Update - (en) Spaine, CNT (ICL-CIT) #434: EDITORIAL: We are on the street!! - Antonio Diaz (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 At the end of 2022, it is worth taking stock of the presence of the CNT

on the street. ---- «If they touch one of us, they touch us all» and
what better place to demonstrate it than in the street. ---- Many union
victories are forged within the four walls of the union, but where they
become visible and gain strength, involving all of us and allowing
everyone to know about our conflicts, is on the street. ---- * The Gran
Canarian palms. A new chambermaid started working at the Avenida de
Canarias Hotel, where there was already a CNT Union Section. Four days
later, even without a contract, she was told that she was not going to
work there again, since she had been in CEAR (Spanish Commission for
Refugee Aid).
Faced with this unfair and discriminatory situation, the compañeras of
the Union Section protested to the company, which responded by firing
one of the members and sanctioning two others. Picket at the doors of
the hotel on December 18, 2021, where more than fifty people gathered
for about two hours, demanding reinstatement, the withdrawal of
sanctions and compliance with union demands.

* February 13, next to the Palace of Arts in Valencia, the delivery of
the Goya awards is celebrated.
The CNT Performing Arts Section is in favor of the improvements in the
agreement that they have sent to the ministry. On the street all trades
are defended and it could not be less that of the artists of the scene.
Through the struggle and comments of our colleagues, we know that behind
a stage work there are many workers in precarious conditions.

* March 8. Throughout the Spanish state, the CNT compañeras lead the
class feminist demands.
On the street with our colleagues, like every year, shouting against the
persistent wage gap, against the higher incidence of unemployment among
women, against the shorter-term contracts that women suffer the most and
against the unequal distribution of care that is assumed much more
frequently by women and forces them to shoulder twice the burden of men.

* May 1st. Our take on the street par excellence. Little new can be said
about May Day, but we always come back to meet and recognize ourselves
as a working class committed to the idea.

* The Switzerland. September 24, Madrid. Mass demonstration in support
of the six compañeras from Xixón.
We are not willing to see how our colleagues are tortured with the
uncertainty for five years of a conviction for unionism. The conflict
began in the street when carrying out an informational picket to take
care of another colleague who was being harassed at her workplace and it
will not end until our colleagues are completely free of charges.

Many union victories are forged within the four walls of the union, but
where they become visible and gain strength, involving all of us and
allowing everyone to know about our conflicts, is on the street.

* Sunday, October 2. El Torno (North Cáceres). Tenth Day of the
Guerrillera@. 12:00 pm Tribute act to the guerrillas in the viewpoint of
memory. 2:00 p.m. Brotherly lunch and musical performance by Txemi Prieto.
That day remembering our compañeras and compañeros who fought to leave
us a future (our present) in which anti-fascism would continue to
perpetuate the dignity of the working class.

* November 19th. Córdoba, Adra, Bilbao, Burgos, Ciudad Real, Donostia,
Elx, Gasteiz, Iruña, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, León, Madrid, Málaga,
Menorca, Miranda de Ebro, Palma de Mallorca, Sabadell, Santander,
Segovia, Teruel, Valencia , Valladolid. Gatherings in public squares in
support of our compañeras accused of Xixón, because "Having unionism is
not a crime."
Once again we stand in solidarity throughout all the territories with
our colleagues, who have become an example of a struggle in accordance
with the libertarian principles that this organization displays.

* Jerez, December 14, nine in the morning. Concentration in front of the
social court number 2 to make visible the rejection against the
dismissal of our fellow CNT militant in the company Hamman Andalusí
Baños Árabes after having pointed out the undignified and dangerous
working conditions to which she was subjected.

It is clear with these brief examples that we are an organization that
uses the streets to carry out its protests. We do not like carpets and
request prerogatives for a few. We want the social revolution to put an
end to the patriarchal state and we are going to work on that in the
unions and then we are going to take it to the streets as many times as
necessary. There we will all come together to shout loudly. Long live
the struggle of the working class! Long live anarcho-syndicalism! Long
live the CNT!
