Dear comrades:
As you probably know, the repression of the political freedoms in Spain has become wider in the last decade. In the last years, we have suffered arrests, trials and banning of demonstrations and many political events.
The youth is suffering specially the repression.
The territory where the repression is bigger is the Basque country, where the youth and the people have suffered banning of political events, newspapers, arrests, closing of gaztetxes (places owned by the revolutionary youth to organise all kind of political and social events) and banning of youth organizations.
The independentist youth is suffering the biggest repression: under the period of government of Aznar it was oficially accused of being "terrorist" and during the last year, massive arrestments happened, including the joint arrestment of 34 young independentists.
CJC is a communist organization and for us it is a internationalist duty to support the struggle of the Basque youth for democracy and socialism. This is why we ask our fraternal international friends and comrades to sign the following manifesto, supporting the political freedoms in the Basque country.
You can sign the manifesto here:
