A-Infos (en) Spaine, CNT, Ccolmenar Viejo: THE WAR SPEECH (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

These days our heads are pounding with the drums of war being sung by 
politicians and the powerful of the world. Our hearts shrink with the 
news that comes from Palestine and we are engulfed by rage when we 
observe the usual victims in Gaza or Ukraine, the only ones on 
television, while an unbearable warmongering discourse is installed. 
There are 56 active wars in the world at this time. And I am not going 
to include Palestine, because that is not a war, it is a GENOCIDE. ---- 
Metaphors flood the language in the mass media through politicians, 
analysts and other species, building a warlike framework that results in 
persuasion and manipulation, leaving the suffering, pain and death of 
people in the background. thousands and thousands of people.

Their wars, their businesses, are our dead and the figures are diluted 
in daily reality as if it were almost normal in the course of history.

The word is constructed with verbs such as "overcome", "fight", "fight", 
"defeat", appellations such as "security", "defence", "enemies", etc., 
and the discursive universe surrounds us with a rhetoric that only It 
aims to guarantee the economic and political interests of the powerful.

On April 10 and 11, the International Security and Defense Fair 
(Feindef), that is, the International Arms Fair, will be held in 
Córdoba. Our colleagues from CNT Córdoba have joined other groups on the 
"Better without weapons" platform and have launched a complaint campaign 
demanding the stoppage of the event sponsored by the Ministry of 
Defense, supported by the City Council of Córdoba and the Junta de 
Andalucía, opposing this infamous business that systematically violates 
human rights and is one of the major sources of environmental pollution.

They also denounce the links of the Spanish company Escribano M&E 
Systems, leader of arms companies at the national level, and the 
genocide in Gaza through its agreement with the Israeli company ELBIT 
Systems, with which they are developing a new rocket launcher, tested in 
Gaza , whose implementation and manufacturing will be carried out in 
Córdoba, with which the Spanish Army will be equipped and in which it is 
intended to invest no more and no less than 273 million euros of public 
money.

This being the case and with the new political framework derived from 
Putin's victory and the possible electoral victory of Donald Trump, NATO 
is raising its bellicose discourse and fattening its budgets by arguing 
that we must be prepared for war.

According to the latest data published by the Stockholm International 
Peace Research Institute in April 2023, global spending rose by 3.7% in 
2022, to $2.24 trillion, equivalent to 2.2% of the Global GDP, the 
largest year-on-year increase in at least 30 years.

We join our colleagues from Córdoba and Andalusia. We denounce all these 
merchants of death and their political accomplices.

NO TO WEAPONS

NO TO THEIR WARS

NOT IN OUR NAME
