Organizers have paid tribute to the struggle, “then and now,” recalling that in 1976 thousands of people took part in a struggle to demand “a worthy gift that would ensure a fair future.” They demanded improvements in salaries and working conditions. jobs that would make their lives dignified.”
That struggle, they have recalled, “was brutally suppressed and obscured by a fraudulent transition, without truth, justice and reparation for the victims, which supported a political, social and economic system that guaranteed the exploitation of the working class.”
According to the organizers, “from that dust, this sludge: today we live in turbulent times with the rise of xenophobia, the growth of the extreme right, the increase in wars, the genocide of the Palestinian people or the development of capitalism, sometimes disguised as green but in any case wild, which destroys life and the planet”
For this reason, they have defended that an “ecosocial transition that leads us to a just future” is urgently needed, and that will be the motto of Sunday’s march.
