WORLD WORLDWIDE SPAIN - news journal UPDATE - (en) CNT-AIT: [Spain]Hands off the CNT-AIT - Solidarity with the Spaine CNT-AIT! (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Again this year, the whole of the International Workers' Association

stand in solidarity with our Section in Spain, the CNT-AIT. The unions
of the CNT-AIT face the repressive and vindicative actions of the union
now known as CNT-CIT. The lawsuits and legal actions brought by the
Spanish Section of the CIT, or ICL (International Confederation of
Labor) threaten the CNT-AIT with serious financial loss and, for some
members, even time in prison. ---- The situation has not changed since
last year when we wrote this article:
https://vivacntait.iwa-ait.org/iwa-days-of-solidarity-with-the-cnt-ait-s...

We explain that the changes that took place in the CNT, particularly
over the past 15 years meant that a group of individuals who were both
theoretically and practically inclined against the grassroots,
non-hierarchical, internationalism of the CNT-AIT, based on
revolutionary ideas and practices in line with anarcho-communism and
anarcho-syndicalism, tried to re-fashion the organization to support
clientele unionism and the professionalization of the organization,
including financially profiting from the union's legacy. In order to
achieve these goals, there was a period where the "reformers"
spearheaded a number of purges from the organization, most infamously of
those who exposed corruption or criticized these tendencies. At the same
time, it sought to take control over the International Workers'
Association and disenfranchise many of its member organizations. The
results of all this were the exclusion from the IWA (as a consequence of
their own auto-exclusionary actions) and the decision of part of our
Section in Spain to remain the CNT-AIT, not to reform the CNT based on
hierarchical practices and not to start a new international based on
ideas that ran against the egalitarian traditions of the IWA.
