A-Infos (en) Uruguay, fAu: The convulsed below... The Resistance lives on in Latin America and the world! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Published in: Featured, International, Anarchist Opinion ---- Solidarity 
with the peoples in struggle! ---- In recent weeks, we have seen a 
growing wave of popular mobilizations in Latin America and beyond, 
demonstrating the strength of organized peoples in the face of policies 
of austerity, repression, and inequality. ---- In Peru, social movements 
have taken to the streets to protest the pension system, as well as to 
express their rejection of the policies and authoritarianism of Dina 
Boluarte; while in Ecuador, protests by indigenous and social movements 
against rising fuel prices are multiplying. Mexico has also been the 
scene of massive demonstrations, either to demand the release of 
political prisoners or to denounce the government's lack of response 11 
years after the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students. In 
Paraguay, peasants, students, and workers have organized days of protest 
against the lack of public services and the corruption of President 
Santiago Peña Nieto's government. In Brazil, popular mobilizations 
prevented the passage of a constitutional amendment intended to protect 
professional politicians from prosecution without legislative approval. 
In Argentina, mobilizations against the reactionary liberal Milei have 
intensified, successfully preventing his political party from holding 
rallies in Tierra del Fuego, Rosario, Corrientes, and various towns in 
the Province of Buenos Aires. In Uruguay, mobilizations are taking place 
amid the vote on the national budget, which allocates a large portion to 
repression and minimal funds to social policies. At the same time, 
demonstrations against the Palestinian genocide and repudiating the 
government's lukewarm stance continue one after another. In Chile, on 
the eve of the presidential election, where most programs aim to deepen 
neoliberal policies, an authoritarian and repressive democracy continues 
to be strengthened, with the popular movement incapable of raising an 
alternative that would strengthen popular power. Added to this is the 
news that Julia Chuñil, missing since December of last year, was burned 
to death by landowners on the land she so fiercely defended, according 
to leaks from the prosecutor's office, which the state and the justice 
system have ignored.

Unsurprisingly, we saw that in several countries the state response has 
included arrests, threats, use of force, judicial persecution, and even 
military intervention, as in the case of Ecuador. And if we talk about 
the state's disproportionate responses to legitimate popular 
mobilizations, it is important to denounce the hijacking of the Global 
Samud Flotilla by the State of Israel. This action adds to the genocidal 
stance of Israel and its war machine against Palestine and, at the same 
time, constituted a direct attack on internationalist solidarity and the 
defense of the rights of the Palestinian people.

The spirit of resistance is spreading to other regions of the world: a 
few days ago, demonstrations in Indonesia and Nepal took to the streets 
of Manila, demonstrating against policies of precarious employment, 
demonstrating in the spirit of social unrest. In the Philippines, as 
people survived the September floods, large demonstrations took place in 
the streets of Manila to denounce government corruption in the use of 
resources that should have been allocated to flood control. In France, 
Spain, and Italy, thousands of people took to the streets to show 
solidarity with Palestine and demand an end to the occupation and 
genocide. In Morocco, the demonstrations, mostly made up of young 
people, demand better education and healthcare and denounce corruption, 
following the death of eight pregnant women in a public hospital, which 
exposed the system's shortcomings. In Madagascar, the imprisonment of 
people protesting against water and electricity cuts in the country's 
capital worsened the political and social crisis, bringing young people 
to the streets, vowing not to stop until the current government falls.

These mobilizations show us the people's determination to organize and 
demand their rights. They are evidence that popular struggle in the 
streets remains a fundamental tool for protests and gains by those from 
below.

We anarchists stand in solidarity with these struggles and, through our 
organizations, we urge people to take to the streets and build 
organizations from neighborhoods, unions, student centers, and 
grassroots organizations, as a means of building popular power.

The people from below are moving. In some places, they have managed to 
unnerve the ruling class. Every march, every assembly, every strike 
strengthens the bonds of solidarity and reinforces the conviction that a 
new, just, and free world is not only necessary but also possible.

For the construction of popular power

Long live the resistance of the people!

Long live those who fight!
