Endorsement to the International Committee in support to Syrian masses of ACES

July 30th, 2012

From ACES (High School Students Coordinator Assembly), we endorse to the International Committee to support to Syrian masses, massacred by butcher Al-Assad on behalf of imperialism. We cannot waste any more time, because blood is running from our class brothers and sisters of Syria. This is why we call all the student and worker militant organizations to join this campaign, especially to the Zengakuren youth in Japan, with whom we fought side by side last year for free education, funded with copper renationalization and for the freedom to all of our imprisoned comrades in regime’s jails. Now we look forward doing it again, this time for the triumph of socialist revolution in Syria to take there as much help as possible collecting medicines, clothes, money and volunteers to fight together as Tunisian, Libyan and Palestine workers are doing now from their organizations.

With respect to the "Declaration of the Committee in support to the Syrian masses of Argentina (dated July 5^th, 2012)

From the Liceo (High School, NT) A-112 of La Cisterna neighborhood, revolutionary students grouped in the Collective “A-112 Standing up in the fight”, we remark our full support and adherence to the call for setting up an International Committee in support to the Syrian masses.

Therefore, we declare:

The fight waged by our brothers and sisters in the Middle East and North Africa, is felt by us as part of our own fight; so it is our duty to say “present!” -showing the internationalism that has characterized us in the forefront, in our trenches.
We watch in anger those who claim to be for and within the working class, but wherever the latter explodes in revolution, they do everything at their reach for subduing it, because they are the main supporters of imperialism as well as of the massacre of Al - Assad, of these Chávez, Castros, Morales. To them we have both faced in the assemblies and the barricades.We will not allow that they go on staining the name of all the martyrs and revolutionaries that confront imperialism.
The heroic Syrian resistance cannot be bent down, even with the silent accomplice of the reformists; they know that there is shown the way for the world proletariat, putting in the fore that revolution is the only solution. Here in the Aces (High School students Union, NT) we have many Al - Assads to defeat, who at any time prevent our general strike from taking place, leaving us without possibilities for opening our revolution, showing their true counterrevolutionary role and why they deserve to finish in the same way as Gaddafi
Currently for the masses who resist it becomes urgent the setting up of an international centre of support, thus we endorse it, and will do everything possible to help in whatever we can; and we won’t allow here anyone in any combative space to be slandering them.

NEVER MORE A SINGLE REVOLUTIONARY LEFT ON HIS/HER OWN! 

Let’s rise in Latino America internationalist brigades to fight against Al - Assad! 
AL – ASSAD: GONNA END LIKE MUAMMAR!

We salute the Argentine colleagues who have bravely arisen with the Committee; here we will raise up our more ancient and combative flags, the
Proletarian Internationalism! 
Revolutionary greetings.
Collective A-112 Standing up in the fight.

ONE SOLUTION, REVOLUTION

STRIKE COMMITTEE

SCHOOL A-119 TALAGATE UNIFY WITH THE INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN FOR THE SYRIANS FIGHTING

Our new way of organization come from the exerience of many days of demosntrations in 2011, and as direct consequence of the wide way of convencional organizations. They all work in the way to favor the pro-civil methods for the bureaucratization of the organizations.  We decide to organize with all the education community choosing removing delegates voted in the sovereign Assembly. This allows us to give our first concrete steps in the environment of the so needed and urgent unity between workers and students, overpassing the typical speech without doing it.

Therefore, we declare:

Our total support to the workers, peasants, students and rank and file soldiers fighting agaisnt the tyranny of Al Assad and his murderous machinery assisted by Putin (Russia) and Hu Jintao (China) who also have with the imperialist handed media and its lackeys, they are all engaged to grieve the Syrian revolution.
Only the class struggle will allow to keep showing the traitors disguised as “leftist”, who are without any doubt defending the current model, and therefore they could not avoid their final fate, the garbage of the history.
We call to develop in all their possible ways the solidarity (with urgent medicins, supplies, doctors, food)

LONG LIVE THE SYRIAN REVOLUTION!

LONG LIVE THE SOLIDARITY MILITIAS FROM LIBYA, TUNISIA AND THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST!!

LONG LIVE THE WORLD REVOLUTION!

DECLARATION OF THE CSR – EL TOPO OBRERO IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE SYRIAN PEOPLE

 More than a year after the starting of the uprising of the Syrian people, the struggle continues and deepens for thel overthrow of Bashar Assad and the end of tyranny. Dozens of thousand Martyrs of a dictatorship sustained by Russian and Chinese weapons and by Venezuelan oil are counted as casualties..

American imperialism learned his lesson in Libya, and has accelerated the training of a puppet army which it called Liberation Syrian Army, as opposed to the militias which have been formed with workers, students, neighbors and rank-and-file defectors of the murderous army. Meanwhile imperialism convenes a team of former assadistas and representatives of the powerful Syrian ruling classes so that they form a Government in exile, ready to assume control of the country and prevent that from happening in Libya, where militias and organized workers resist the imposition of a “Qadafist-without-Qaddafi” Government. They try to avoid militias and the coordination committees to take even a piece of power, which would make it impossible the restoration of a stable Government that allowed the  US MNCs complete their goal of grabbing the Syrian economy, displacing their Russian, Chinese, etc., competitors.

The military offensive launched by Bashar al - Assad on cities like Homs and Deraa, massacring civilians, is not already obtaining the desired results. The masses are still joining, first the resistance and now the offensive against the tyrant. The own Damascus, capital of Syria is already involved in fierce fighting. Al - Assad has had to bring to the capital loyal troops located on the borders with Turkey and Iraq which has weakened their control of these border areas where hundreds of internationalists of Egypt, Tunisia and especially Libya, infiltrate joining Syrian militias that have begun to establish their own organizations of power. These committees should coordinate with the coordinating committees of the districts and lay the foundations for genuine bodies of dual power, "SOVIETS" of soldiers and workers, which should coordinate at the same time at the national level, preventing imperialist interference and other countries as Russia and china from becoming in a brake to the revolutionary process that was born in Tunisia and spread all through Syrian land.

The Syrian revolution is being gripped by the forces of the capital. While the Governments of the murderers of their own people, Putin and Hun Ji Tao are arming Al - Assad that murders the Syrian people, massacre the social vanguard wing represented in Homs and Deraa residents and of other cities, who are experiencing a wear out, US imperialism intervenes to ensure a decisive influence on the structuring of the Syrian Army of Liberation, placing former officers of the Assad regime, and faithful to the imperialism, under the command of the same.  As a complement, the Syrian people see that a great campaign of silence is built around their struggle, funded by the forces of capital and executed mainly by the forces of Stalinism and social democracy and what is left of them, those who do not move a finger to develop the required international solidarity that it would have avoided the bleeding of the Syrian people.

This part of the war that is the isolation of the Syrian revolutionary people is unfortunately supplemented by organizations claiming of revolutionary Marxism, which although they have no influence or lead major mass organizations on a global scale, if they had devoted their forces to break the siege of silence imposed by the imperialist forces, sending consistent help, medicines, militant solidarity, food and militant cadres to incorporate to the Syrian revolutionary militias, along with a coordinated campaign of propaganda, they would have helped defeat the policy of silence and thereby to weaken not only the bloody regime of al - Assad, but imperialist forces themselves. There are few organizations, counted with the fingers of one hand, who until now have understood that today the revolutionary, proletarian internationalism, consists in the militant solidarity with the Syrian and the Libyan people; those who have understand it have been sending from some weeks or months ago their own men as militia to help combat in Syria, against the puppet government of imperialism, the TNC.

The struggle of the Syrian people is the same struggle against the crisis of capitalism in Greece, Spain, and throughout Europe. It is the same struggle of the indigenous people of Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru; of the Argentinean, Brazilian, Paraguayan, Panamanian, Venezuelan, Chinese, Hindus, and Russian workers; of the indignant of Spain and the 1% of the United States, the Canadian, Chilean, Colombian students... It is the fight of the peoples of the world against the imperialist offensive to make us pay for their crisis. It the exloiters succeed we would be sent to the definite economic and social barbarism. Socialism or barbarism is our dilemma. We will OVERCOME! is our flag.

From the Revolutionary Socialist current, we say

NO TO THE IMPERIALIST INTERVENTION IN SYRIA!
NO TO THE INTERVENTION OF THE ARAB COUNTRIES, ALL OF THEM ALLIED AND COMPLICIT IN THE DICTATORSHIP OF AL - ASSAD!
OUT WITH THE UNO, AN ACCOMPLICE OF THE TYRANTS AND OF IMPERIALISM IN ITS WARS AGAINST THE PEOPLES OF THE PLANET! NOT A DROP OF OIL FROM VENEZUELA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF TYRANT AL - ASSAD!

Endorsment to the International Committee to support the Syrian masses

Caracas, July 24^th, 2012

Statement of the Liga Comunista de los Trabajadores – Fracción Leninista Trotskista Internacional in solidarirty and support side by side the Syrian worker people against the murderous regime of Al Assad and the imperialist agents

The political situation of Syria currently is characterized by an internal civil conflict staged by the Syrian people determinedly above all to overtrhow the hatred genocidal dictatorship of the Al-Assads loyal allies of the world imperialism. This war is in the context of the anti-imperialist revolutions of the North of Africa and Middle East emerged due to the awful conditions the exploited masses of that region who don’t even have right to demand a piece of bread. This struggle is for bread, political freedoms, and job! It is what the comunists called Revolutionary Situation when “ neither those below can keep living  as now nor those at the top can continue governing in the old way”

Despite the offensive of Al Assad who make the dirty work on behalf of imperialism with the unconditional military support of the Chinese bourgeoisie (Hu Jintao) and Russian one (Vladímir Putin) on one side and for the other the Syrian National Council backed by the Arab League, the Muslism Brothers, the caste of the ex assadists military-men servants of the hegemonic desires of US imperialism where the other imperialisms like France, Belgium, and Britain want to enter to dispute part of the share.

Imperialism Facuss all their forces to smash this revolution in Syria since a defeat of the bourgeois regime means: loss of the hegemony of the region questioning their most precious thing, their zionist military enclave of Israel, at the same time, it opens the door for the expansion of the revolution of Lebanon, Jordania strenghtening the resistence of the heroic peoples of Iraq and Palestine and the Palestinian people can recover their territory and capital Jerusalem burning again the struggles of Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.

In addition to this policy it is the acomplice silence of the pseudo-left collaborationist of the bourgeoisie (stalinist, social-democracy and specially the renegades of trotskyism) lead by the counterrevolutionary Fifth International of Castro-Chavez and the WSF. Despite the material support they gave to Al Assad, the Syrian people today fighting in the capital Damascus will topple down the oil bussiness of the bolibourgeoisies grouped in the ALBA, as Hugo Chavez declared in 2010: “ with the oil refinery in Syria, Venezuela will be able to have clients without the need of paying transport from the Caribbean. These are some of the benefits caused by the build of the refinery.”

“Venezuela will be always with Syria and the brother peoples that need that wealth (oil) put by the god’s hand and Nature”

“The estimated total I have till now for the creation of the oil refinery is 4 thousand 700 millions of dollars”.

Hugo Chavez proposed his Syrian counterpart that “he incorporates as a observer member of the Bolivian Alliance with the Peoples of Our America, going towards the establishment of an agreement of all the ALBA countries with Syria.”

This is why this conflict uncovers the deep boli-bourgeoisie interests between ALBA, UNASUR and MERCOSUR reinforced with the reinstitution of commercial treaties of FTA from the murderer Santos and Al-Assad regime business, whose bridge is Chavez` bourgeois government in Venezuela and Castro`s restoration bureaucracy in Cuba. They have been doing the dirty job since the 70’s recomposing and consolidating Syrian repressive forces as part of the Yalta and Postdam agreement to fence in the people’s revolutionary struggle. They sent troops, military and intelligence counselor and military equipment since 1973. In this way they supported and financed Al-Assad’s new puppet government which. In 1983, smashed the rebellions that had started for the same claims the Syrian people are fighting for today.  

Latin America working class terrified the bourgeoisie with its anti imperialist and revolutionary struggle during the first part of the 21th century. In spite of having been asleep for a while letting the “bolivarian” bourgeoisie governments and regimes attack, now the working class is coming out to fight. The demagogic “anti imperialistic” speeches were left behind. In the last “Cumbre de las Americas” we saw all the bourgeoisies kneel to Obama’s feet and quarrel among themselves to see who was more servile.  

Doubtlessly, former Sandinist “general” Ortega who has become bourgeois president of Nicaragua was one of the kneeling party, along with Chavez, the so called anti imperialist and mentor of this sham called “Bolivarian Revolution”, who told Obama he wanted to be his “friend”. He even gave a book to Obama as present: Galeano’s “Latin América open veins” as if this dark Bush was not to continue with the plundering bleeding policies of the Northern Lords.

Meanwhile, in Venezuela, Chavez suppresses every single working struggle, letting the bosses free to hire gunmen “paracos” (like the AUC in Colombia) to kill working leaders as they did May 5^th 2009 when they murdered comrade Argenis Vasquez, Toyota union leader in Cumaná. Chavist goverment also murdered 3 workers when suppressing Mitsubishi workers in Anzoategui in February 2009. By the end of 2008, in Aragua, 3 UNT leaders were shot dead by gunmen. This is the true face of the “Bolivarian revolution”, friends of Al-Assad in Syria, Santos in Colombia and the Castros in Cuba.

Today, Chavez regime prepares a new offensive against workers with layouts, a new Organic Work Law that wipes away union independency weakening work stability aiming the municiplities with jlegal atributions. This is the strategic alliance between the State and the bosses united to strike against workers seeking more profit for the Boli bourgeoisies and imperialism.

FOR THE STRENGTHENING OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE IN SUPPORT OF THE SYRIAN REVOLUTION!
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTIONARY RISE OF THE SYRIA MASSES AND THE DUAL POWER!
NO TRUST IN THE CNS! FOR A MILITIA GOVERNMENT LED BY THE COMMITTEES OF FACTORIES, NEIGHBORHOODS, PEASANTS AND RANK AND FILE SOLDIERS!
DOWN WITH THE “BOLIVARIAN” TYRANNY OF SYRIAN AL-ASSAD! NO IMPERIALISM INTERVENTION!
FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION O F A UNION BLOCK INDEPENDENT AND CLASSIST TO CONFRONT THE BOURGEOISIE INCLUDED THE “RED” ONE AND IMPERIALISM!
LET`S CUT THE OIL FLUX THAT FEEDS AL-ASSAD REGIME!
DOWN WITH THE BUILDING AGREEMENT OF THE SYRIAN-VENEZUELAN REFINERY WHICH ONLY ENRICHES THE BOLI BOURGEOISIE AND IMPERIALISM IMPOVERISHING THE PROLETARIAT FROM BOTH COUNTRIES!
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A WORLD REVOLUTIONARY LEADERSHIP LED BY THE BEST OF THE VANGUARD OF THE PROLETARIAT  THAT GUIDES THE MASSES TO TAKE POWER  BASED ON 1938 TRANSITION PROGRAM FOR THE SOCIALIST REVOLUTION!

From the Committee for Syria in Argentina 07/05/2012

To the workers and the fighting workers and students’ organization of the world, and to everyone that fight and are in favor of the Syrian revolution:

For an International Committee in Support to the Syrian Masses
Over a year passed since the working class, the exploited and Syrian people have started their revolution against the murderous regime of Al Assad. More than six months have passed of massacres and genocides carried on by the army of Al Assad, on behalf of imperialism and NATO, together with the ruling powers and Zionism, the support of the regional governments (as Iran) and the complicity of the Arab League. All of them have focused their strengths in Syria to stop the chain of revolutions for bread and freedom opened in the North of Africa and Middle East. This chain of revolutions had its spark in Tunisia, and immediately spread to Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria itself.

This genocide against the oppressed people has cost over 70.000 lives in full view of everyone. A proof of this are the bombings in workers districts of Homs, Deraa, the massacre of Hula, Alepo and Homs, the murders house by house; families slaughtered by the Al Assad mercenaries. This massacre has the political and material support of the so-called Bolivarian governments in Latin America, like Kirchner in Argentina, Morales in Bolivia, Castro brothers in Cuba and Chavez in Venezuela, who keeps sending him oil barrels. Despite this, and the huge silence of a great strip of the world left, which keeps shooting in the back of the Syrian exploited, freeing the hands to Al-Assad to keep slaughtering; the workers and the Syrian people don’t surrender, and keep resisting heroically with whatever they can use, and in this moment they are fighting against the troops in the outskirts of Damascus, keeping in suspense all the powerful ones of the world.

 

As well as Al Assad can’t break the heroic people resistance, the accomplice silence of those who call themselves “socialist”, didn’t prevent, and won’t prevent that from different sides of the planet, the masses and the revolutionaries who embrace and make as our own the fight of the Syrian people, will organize to break the fence imposed over the revolution, and to fight for the triumph of the revolution: like the masses of Lebanon are rebelling against Hezbollah (that sent mercenaries to Syria to slaughter the resistance, and in Lebanon pursue and kill the activists that cross the borders), as the masses of Tunisia (who organize by thousands to go to fight in Syria) as well as the revolutionary militias of Libya do. Like in the province of Hatay southern Turkey, where thousands people, despite obstacles and controls of the Turkey army, manage to supply the resistance. And as the German anti-imperialist youth, who with their campaign of “adopt a revolution”, have collected around 200 thousand Euros delivered by them in hands of the resistance organizations.

 From the “Committee in support to the Syrian masses” in Argentina, we consider ourselves part of these actions that have the aim of breaking the fence imposed to the Syrian masses. We are a committee formed by students, workers, shop steward commissions, unemployed workers organizations, workers currents and left currents, that in March, before the call of the Libyan revolutionary militias to make all kind of actions in solidarity with the Syrian working class and the people slaughtered by the Al-Assad regime. After this call we held these actions: on March 24th, (when we commemorate the anniversary of the military coup in Argentina), we marched with banners denouncing the massacre and the complicity of Kirchner’s government with the murderer Al-Assad; we also held a debate talk where, by Skype we could communicate with the Libyan militiamen that told us how was their fight against Khadafy and now against the TNC. Then we organized a rally to the Syrian embassy in Buenos Aires (where tens of workers, students, and left organizations concurred), which was held on June 7th with a great militant effort amongst the fighting workers and students organizations, making that such rally was voted in the rank and file students assemblies and in the last Congress of the University Federation of Buenos Aires (FUBA) against those that didn’t lift a finger in defense of the Syrian masses. We know very well that, in face of the difficulties that today the Syrian people is affronting, the tasks that we’ve made were a great step forward, but aren’t enough.


The conditions in which the resistance of the Syrian masses is in this moment are extremely thought. The workers and the Syrian people have to sell all their goods to be able of getting supplies (weapons, medicines, food, etc.), that scarce everywhere. Doctors can’t cope with all the work attending thousands and thousands of wounded, improvising attention centers wherever they can, in inappropriate places, since hospitals and schools work as torture and extermination centers. Today more than ever, the Syrian people need the solidarity from workers and revolutionaries from all over the world, and also they need a centralization and international coordination of all those actions that are being held in their help to be able to make efficient the help to the resistance.

 Because of this, is that we make an urgent call to all the workers and militant students organizations (unions, shop stewards commissions, student centers and militant students federations) of Argentina, Latin America and the entire world, and those that show solidarity and fight in favor of the Syrian revolution, to set up an International Committee in support of the Syrian masses in order to centralize all the help possible; where we can collect all kind of goods for the Syrian resistance: from medicine, food, cloth, money and volunteers to go to fight with them as they already do the Tunisian, Libyan and Palestine workers from their organizations, seeking the best channel so the help get in hands of those who risk their lives in the battlefield fighting against the regime and the army of Al Assad. We summon specially to those organizations that have already pronounced in this way, and already are doing so: the Revolutionary Fighters of the Libyan Militias, the Movements of Factories and Rank and File Assemblies of the Libyan workers, and the Volunteers Committee of internationalist workers of that country; the Movement 6th of April in Egypt that week after week mobilize alongside with thousands of youths to the Syrian and Zionist embassy against the slaughter against the Syrian people; the UGTT of Regueb (Tunisia) and the thousands of young Tunisians that organize themselves to got to fight in Syria; the ACES of the fighting Chilean students; the Japanese students Zengakuren; the Post Union of Porto Alegre (Brazil), who are now discussing to send a day’s wage to supply the Syrian resistance, as also happens in tens of Venezuelan unions, where there is also a proposal of preventing any ship of oil to Al Assad; to those that mobilized in United States before the White House, denouncing the responsibility of Obama in this genocide; we call all of you to make together this campaign in concrete and effective solidarity with the Syrian Revolution, and against Al-Assad’s massacre, commanded by Obama and the imperialists, and that together we fight to extend it to all the workers and students organizations, and fight to arise this International Committee of support to the Syrian Masses, and for the triumph of their revolution to centralize this fight! We must recover the best traditions of the internationalist solidarity, as in the Civil War in Spain, where the unions and workers organizations of the world sent medicines, weapons and volunteers to fight against fascism.
 Comrades, there is no time to lose. Each minute that passes, without advancing it this way, it means hundreds and hundreds of lives and it gives time for the imposition of traps that the imperialism prepare to expropriate the heroic fight of the Syrian people; like they want to do with the so-called Syrian National Council and the Free Syrian Army, discussing with the UN a supposed “transition government”; or preparing a military intervention, as they have already pronounced France and Belgium, to stop Al Assad be overthrown by the revolutionary masses. We, the workers, the fighting youth, all of those who fight against the massacre and for the triumph of the revolution, and all the exploited ones must be the ones that from our organizations of fight aid our Syrian comrades before it is too late.

July 1 Libya: the electoral trap

"THE DEMONSTRATION WENT INTO THE CITY AND BURNT ALL THE PAPERS"

Today was the mobilization we talked about in the previous mail. The organizers said and clarified all the time that they were not federalist, but stood against that 102 seats were for Tripoli, 60 for Benghazy and 38 for the South and called for allotting 20 (or 60, or whatever) for each one. They went even further and confronted the Government, because they said that all they managed to accomplish with the revolution was beheading the regime of Muhammar, but the rest (of his followers) stayed and today are in the Government and settled in the West, so going to a National Congress with absolute majority of the West above the other two regions together amounted to the total domination of the Qadafistas.

That’s why their program is bordering federaliyah, although they clarify all the time that they are not the Feds. In fact the Federal movement is different and they do not have political agreement. We will tell you the facts and the characterizations we could draw (try to distinguish between each other, as in the characterizations we could be mistaken). The march began at the roundabout of Majouri district in Benghazy, where during a couple of days protests were made to give back the vote card if one was opposed to the National Congress. There was a concentration where about 300 people gathered who cut off the street with posters and slogans, and then came the march.

Now, all demonstrations here come out of the place in front of the Tibesty hotel (one of the two best hotels of Benghazy, which is hosting the CNT when it is here) and go to the Liberation Square. Therefore it was believed that the march was going to start from the Tibesty, but no! It went to the center of the Electoral Commission (which was quite far away), which is the building where the information of the elections is, voter registration lists, organization, etc. On the way more and more people joined, until it reached 1000 people (remember that Benghazy is a city of 1 million inhabitants, and women and children are not involved). Everytime the march passed by next to posters of candidates to the National Congress in the present elections, they were plucked out by the demonstrators.

The march came to the polling place and set fire to all the papers and destroyed the computers that had been in place. The objective: preventing the elections from taking place. We noticed many slogans that were sung against the Government and elections, but there were also many in favor of the the federaliyah. And saw many federalists in the march (remember that the Feds do not have a direct link to the bourgeoisie, although they have almost all of its program based on the fair feeling that having them made the revolution, they do not want that Tripoli dominates them again).

The march then returned to the same place from where they had started, always unpinning every election poster that was at sight. But to leave the place it was not known if we had to return to the roundabout or go to the Tibesty. Now, in front of the Tibesty is the tent of the Feds, and that place is the typical place of the protests. The vast majority returned to the roundabout, and they clarified that they will be there all day with the protest that they were doing in that place, and the day that the polls are held, ranging to boycott them and prevent them from happening at all, at all costs (remember that almost all people here are armed; even, unlike other mobilizations, this many attended with their weapons.) (On the other hand the bourgeoisie does not count yet with a force of repression that could play to suppress them). Meanwhile in the Tibesty some federalists made a small blockade of streets, also in protest.
We believe that a sector of the masses ran through the bourgeois gaps attacking the Government and the elections (which is the bourgeois plan to strengthen the counter-revolution and its power), including considering a program of representatives elected by each neighborhood with mandate, with no majority for anybody. This sector -not the federalist bourgeoisie- was the promoter of the boycott of today and plan to move forward. But what is crystal clear is that the federalist bourgeoisie sent part of its people to infiltrate the mobilization and they themselves were placed at the head to try to stop it or contain it or divert it and use it, because they tried to paint the march as if it were a federalist action. There is even a candidate who withdrew his candidacy facing the events of today. But for us, the action was not encouraged by the bourgeoisie from its inception or controlled completely, because no bourgeois sector is opposed to elections or risks going to civil war actions, as the masses could break again.
 So far, the newly elected Local Council in Benghazy condemned the actions and called for tomorrow in the Tibesty a protest against what happened today, considering that they agree with the federality, that it is all wrong about the inequality of seats, that they are against the Government, but “it is necessary to go into the elections to allow the country going forward”. The whole of the Benghazis see this as a betrayal, because all of them support the events of  today and condemn the local Council for opposing them.
