#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SPAIN #MADRID #ANARCHISM #LIBRARY #News #Journal #Update - (en) #Spain, CGT: support for the anti-militarists retaliated against at the #NATO summit in #Madrid and condemns the criminalization of the protest (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Among those fined is Santiago de la Iglesia, a comrade responsible for the social

action of the CGT in Madrid. ---- The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has
shown its solidarity with the anti-militarists who participated in the act of
civil disobedience, organized by 'Desarma Madrid', on June 28 against the NATO
summit. Several activists belonging to different civil groups participated in
this action, symbolically turning the "school of war" into a "school of peace."
---- The security forces of the Spanish State, that is, the police of the most
progressive government in history, which once again relied on the Gag Law,
proceeded to sanction several of these people, including was Santiago de la
Iglesia, currently Secretary of Social Action of CGT MCLMEx.

The anarcho-syndicalist organization has expressed, through this statement, its
rejection of these sanctions because it understands that the Gag Law is being
used again to criminalize and persecute the right to protest of organized
citizens. In this sense, from CGT they indicate that the Gag Law, far from being
repealed as promised by the formations of the current Spanish Government, is
still in force, limiting the rights and fundamentals of people and granting
immense power to the bodies and forces of repression.

CGT considers that civil disobedience and non-violent direct action, by which the
anti-militarist movement is characterized, continues to be effective when
pointing out and denouncing the subordination of this "left" government to the
interests of NATO and industry military. CGT has also recalled in this statement
that this year's General State Budget (PGE) contemplates higher economic items to
spend on the military industry.

The anarcho-syndicalists will continue to demand the end of economic investments
in weapons, and likewise, they will continue to denounce the repressive drift of
the State through the support of whatever actions are carried out against the
criminalization of protest and social action.
