The government knows that when it cultivates winds it will reap storms. With energy poverty, poverty, inflation taking away what is left of the people’s income, with the destruction of workers’ rights and people’s freedoms, it is a given that reactions, struggles and demands will grow. That is why the forces of repression are being reinforced in every way. That is why they are encouraged to beat, shoot and … whoever dies. We will not tolerate it! We demand that all those responsible be held accountable and punished.

NO TOLERANCE

We strengthen the mass organized struggle, against the causes of these phenomena, against poverty and injustice, is the most dynamic and effective response. Let indignation become claim and struggle! All in the rallies of students’ associations, unions and mass organizations.
