In May 30, the Interpol and the Uruguayan and Argentinian police arrested the PSTU leader.<\/em>
\nBy: Executive Committee \u2013 PSTU Argentina<\/strong>
\n29 months have passed since December 18, 2017, when the Cambiemos government, with Macri and Bullrich, tried, upon requests by the IMF and the big companies, to change even more the structure of the country, with a series of reforms such as the Pension, Labour, State and Tributary ones.
\nThe workers\u2019 response was massive, as well as the repression. Nevertheless, the establishment was damaged, and Cambiemos weakened.
\nOnly the Pension Reform was approved, and partially. The corrupt Congress managed to cut the pensions, but was unable to increase the retirement age, the Labour Reform was not approved, and only a tributary deal was signed with the provinces.
\nThose were many defeats for a government. Little was achieved with so much repression, so his judges, the big media and their business sponsors did not hesitate in condemning the social struggle and, in the figure of Sebasti\u00e1n, tried to exemplify the persecution and punishment against any who stood up to fight.
\nArbitrarily, manipulating the law, they pursued our leader to exhaustion.
\nNo guarantee in the federal courts of Comodoro Py<\/strong>
\nThe PSTU is not the only one that questions the actions of federal judges and prosecutors. There are many complaints against them for setting up causes.
\nWhat happened with Daniel Ruiz, who was arrested unjustly for 13 months, and the denunciations of the UN, among others, show that Sebasti\u00e1n did the right thing in avoiding this justice, because now, 29 months later, this shows how rotten these courts in service of the rich and the governments are.
\nA world that rises up, like on December 18<\/strong>
\nHunger, harassment, oppression, and the violence of the state and the capitalists kindled rebellions around the world against such misery, authoritarianism and sentencing of the poor people. We are the first to die, be it due to unemployment, sexist violence, low wages, and constant genocide of the retired and the elderly. Not to mention an entire generation of the young which is castigated by precariousness and left without a future.
\nHowever, the marginalized of the world rebel in the same way as the Argentinians did on December 2017. Those who have nothing stand in the front, overcoming their fears; it is they, among hundreds of thousands, who unite to resist against the repression of the governments, and that is why there are frontlines and the new political prisoners.
\nToday, faced with this rebellion of the marginalized, the demand for Sebasti\u00e1n\u2019s liberation is strengthened, and with it, it is once more demonstrated that justice is a mere legal annex of the rich.
\nChile, Europe and Hong Kong show us the path. Black lives matter, and that is why the American people also rises, making it clear that we can no longer abide by such misery and oppression.
\nAn ample, unified campaign<\/strong>
\nThe liberation of Sebasti\u00e1n must become a rallying flag along all workers\u2019 and popular demands.
\nEvery organization must join.
\nIn a few days, every human rights organization in Argentina released statements demanding his liberation, including the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, the Center of Legal and Social Studies (CELS), the Permanent Assembly for Human Rights (APDH), the Human Rights League, the group of organizations that composes the Meeting for Memory, Truth and Justice, Nora Corti\u00f1as, and an extensive list of others.
\nSectors of fighters and workers such as the Subway Workers Union (AGTSyP), the Internal Committee of Bed Time, the workers of Penta, of La Nirva, the textiles, the educations unions such as Mendoza\u2019s SUTE, the SUTEBA oppositions, leaders of the ATEN (Neuqu\u00e9n), social movements, national councilmen of the ruling party such as Juan Carlos Alderete of the PTP, councilmen and legislators of the FITU, social leaders such as Luis D\u2019elia, among others, have already announced their participation.
\nOn the international level, there are uncountable answers from Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Italy, Portugal, and many others.
\nThis is just a demonstration that the campaign can and must be assumed by everybody, that it can become concrete in the worker and popular strugglers, because Sebasti\u00e1n is supported by the fighters, the workers and the poor people.
\nEverybody who agrees that Justice in the Macri era was manipulated must sign the petition and join the demand for his immediate release, be it in Uruguay, in Argentina, or anywhere.
\nWe are many who want Sebasti\u00e1n free. We will give this campaign form and express this solidarity in concrete actions such as demonstrations at court doors, at embassies, and wherever necessary.
\nA popular, worker path<\/strong>
\nCapitalism and its powers are burning, and the peoples\u2019 insurrection tell us that we need a socialist workers\u2019 way out.
\nThe profile of the struggle in which Sebasti\u00e1n is involved, as a GM industrial worker, social leader and a revolutionary, tells us that we must keep on building a new leadership against so many evils. One that synthetizes the struggle for a better world, a socialist world with exploitation and oppression which will come through a social revolution, in an united struggle for socialism, to eradicate the capitalists who brought us to this situation of global collapse.
\nThe PSTU and the IWL-FI are in service of this task, and we fight with all strength we have until we liberate Sebasti\u00e1n and all political prisoners.
\nJune 05, 2020.
