It has been 10 months since the forced disappearance of our comrade, the Doctor in Law Ernesto Sernas García. Ten terrible months in which the Attorney General's Office has not given due attention to the issue, ignoring its work of defending political prisoners and resisting peoples among the investigation lines.

It is not surprising that the State Attorney General's Office does not follow the procedures established in the General Law of Forced Disappearance and the Approved Search Protocol. It is clear that, in Oaxaca, the rights of the people do not exist or are a dead word when they clash with the interests of the big bourgeoisie.

At the same time, the situation in the Ombudsman for Human Rights of the People of Oaxaca (DDHPO ) is identical, which has become an instrument of simulation under the remote ownership of the false defender Arturo de Jesús Peimbert Calvo, where the files of the victims are administered and do not have the follow-up that the law mandates, nor the attention that victims demand.

Example of this: the file of the displaced Triquis families of San Miguel Copala, who until now continue waiting for the formal response to the legal resources promoted before the Ombudsman of the Human Rights of the People of Oaxaca, who, in its turn make delaying practices hand in hand with the Coordination for the Attention of Human Rights of the executive branch of the state. This re-victimizes those who, based on violence, uprisings and assassinations, were displaced from their community.

The same is with the case of the communities of Puente Madera, Rancho Llano and Loma Bonita, of the municipality of San Blas Atempa, who, in defending their land and territory, have been subject to arbitrary arrests, firearms attacks, burning of pastures , criminalization and political persecution, all within the framework of the imposition of the military electrical sub-station at the service of SEDENA as part of the megaprojects of imperialism, and the creation of the National Guard, which implies the militarization of the country and the deepening of war against the people and state terrorism, to protect imperialist investment. Here the Ombudsman of the Human Rights of the People of Oaxaca does not say or do anything, here also their work is contemplative despite the fact that municipal and state authorities are involved in crimes against the people, in addition to the federal authorities to whom the CNDH does not investigate, sanction or demand reports.

Even with this, we uphold the defense of active workers affiliated with Section 9-Oaxaca of the National Independent Union of Health Workers (SINTS), of Complementary Programs of the State Social Protection in Health Regime of the State of Oaxaca (REPSSEO), currently with the uncertainty of the labor continuity after March 31, 2019, which depended on "Complementary Programs" that will disappear to give way to the "Benito Juárez" Welfare Grants, announced by the new federal government, which makes vulnerable the 167 families that depend on these contracts. We do not agree with the unjustified mass dismissal!

Even with this, we demand that the authorities of the State and Federal Health Services not to violate again the labor and human rights of thousands of workers who were affected in the processes of turning public, regularization and formalization of employment in previous years, we demand the current government to be vigilant of the announced new process of turning the employment public, likewise to make the processes of the Adjustment and Escalafon Secretariat to work and in this way not to violate the rights of the workers.

In addition to these issues, our organization raises the defense of the rights of the people, among them the right to self-determination of the people, the right to land for the poor peasants, the freedom of association and the workers right to strike, and principally: the right to power.

Precisely in that position we emphasize: we do not believe in bourgeois legality that the regime itself violates at will, we do not practice class collaboration to reconcile positions between oppressors and oppressed, we do not assume the liquidationist practice of " pacification agreements " as ours, which only serve for the demobilization and ideological disarmament of the proletariat and the peoples.

In that sense, and after having concluded the internal processes indicated in our statutes and our last State Assembly, held on January 20, we declared:

• That starting on March 11, we, the SolRojistas contingents from the various regions of the state, will arrive in the City of Oaxaca to develop new Struggles for Justice and in Defense of the Rights of the People.

• That this Struggles has the Presentation with life of our comrade Ernesto Sernas García, the fulfillment of the Precautionary Measures for the displaced Triquis families of San Miguel Copala, the Cancellation of the military-electric sub-station in San Blas Atempa, the defense of employment and the freedom of association of Section 9 of the SINTS, among other demands for justice as main axes.

• That such Struggles will be developed indefinitely.

To the consequent part of the popular movement, we express our gratitude and camaraderie for their accompaniment and solidarity. Let us continue to build unity in action with all the forces of the toiling people!

To the SolRojistas bases we make the call to enlist and comply with our agreements, based on our statutes, and the purposes and customs of our organization. Every militant must be prepared to win! Nothing is impossible, winning is possible!

To the old landlord-bureaucratic state we say: Our flags do not fall, our demands are not exchanged, you will not stop our struggle with tanks or shrapnel!

Stop the war against the people and state terrorism!

Down with the National Guard and the militarization of the country!

Down with the megaprojects of dispossession and death!

No to the imperialist intervention in Venezuela!

COMBATIVELY

May the workers govern the homeland!

With the Red Sun, the people will win!

The Brazilian Center for Solidarity with the Peoples - CEBRASPO - stands in solidarity with the Venezuelan people for the aggressions it is suffering from US imperialism.

We repudiate the escalation of conflicts that culminated last Saturday, February 23 – under the pretext of humanitarian aid – in violation of international conventions on the subject, which highlight the impartiality and agreement between the parties in this type of aid, it is so that even the International Red Cross and UNESCO refused to participate because they identified it as a political farce.

On Wednesday the 20th of Feabraur, workers demonstrated with the support of students and officials against the planned pension reform of fascist President Bolsonaros in several parts of Brazil. This reform, which aims to bring about drastic cuts and increase the retirement age, was submitted to the National Congress on Wednesday.

Since the seizure of power by the fascist Bolsonaro the murders of children and adolescents have become more frequent due to the state police forces in Brazil. Just as repression grows, so does the protest and resistance of the people.

 

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered last Sunday, February 24, in front of the Vale Minas Gerais Memorial, in Praça da Liberdade [Freedom Square], in Belo Horizonte, a month after the crime of Vale in Brumadinho, which occurred on January 25, 2019.

With slogans written on banners and posters, those present demanded justice for the victims of the crime in dam 1, at Córrego do Feijão Mine. Crosses were drawn on the ground and a mock-up of a dam that drained blood instead of mud was made. In addition to harshly criticizing the murderer Vale, the protesters have clearly shown the fear that more dam ruptures will occur again in the state.

In the past couple of weeks, comrades in Colombia have developed their campaign to support the struggle of the Venezuelan people against the imperialist intervention in their country. For this, the comrades made a series of wall paintings in the University of Antioquia (UdeA) in Medellin, where also previous campaigns had already resounding success.

On January 25 this year, a huge environmental crime occurred in the city of Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Such a crime also happened just over three years ago in the municipality of Mariana, also in Minas Gerais, and with the same involved company - the notorious Vale.

 

These cases, however, are only "the tip of the iceberg". Mining activity in Brazil has been developed over the centuries by latifundium oligarchies, by the big bourgeoisie and by colonialism and imperialism, as a form of domination and subjugation of the Brazilian people. The deaths due to the inhuman condition that mineral extractivism imposes are not infrequently.

Juan Guaidó said he did not rule out the possibility of a military intervention by Yankee imperialism in Venezuela. The intervention is a possibility, according to him, "if it is necessary to take Nicolas Maduro out of power," said the Yankee puppet in a statement given to the France Press agency on February 8.
