Never Forget, Never Forgive: Demonstration for Carlos 12.09.2009

The coming 11th of September will mark one year and 10 months since the fascist soldier Josue Estebanez de la Hija murdered our friend and comrade Carlos, as well as attempted to murder a second comrade of ours. Following a long time of struggle on the part of his antifascist comrades, not only in Madrid but also in the entire Spanish state as well as across the world, and a long time of waiting on the part of his mother and relatives, the week of the 14th to the 18th of September will see the start of the trial at the „Audiencia Provincial,“ located on Santiago de Compostela Street Nr. 98.

We respect this procedure, and wish that for Mavi and the rest of the family and friends this can mark the end of a process for them. For us, nothing will change because we dont believe in this bourgeois justice, nor in its fascist tribunals. Our trial was held the very same day in which Carlos was murdered simply for being an antifascist. It was a trial held in every neighborhood and in every home, and which emitted its verdict long ago. Josue is guilty of taking the life of a youth who struggled for all of us against racism, fascism, and capitalism. He is guilty of a political murder, simply one more of the thousands which fascists have committed against the people, and it is all of these thousands which we also remember when we remember Carlos. We make with this a call to give the solidarity movement a strong push. Let the walls speak what the bourgeois press silences, let each act as he/she sees fit. The truth must be known on the streets.

We need to point out all the guilty parties. From the principal one, Josue who murdered Carlos, to the „Delegacion de Gobierno“ which allows the fascists to take to the streets thus making themselves accomplices of these when they parade themselves through working class neighborhoods in an attempt to sell their racist, homophobic, sexist, and fascist garbage, and the army for being the same fascist army which crushed (with the aid of Hitler and Mussolini) the people in 1939 and suffered no „purges,“ even during the so-called „transition.“ Today, the army remains a refuge of fascists, and a place where they are trained to kill for a supposed democratic state. We need to expose the bourgeois media for trying to disguise this as a „gang war,“ and thus deny this conflict of its political and class significance. And finally, the bourgeois fascist and capitalist state which remains, regardless of who currently rules, the direct legacy of the Franquist regime. It is this state which provides the groundwork for all this, and which is the real enemy of the people and the working class.

For all these reasons, we call for a demonstration on the 12th of September at 18:00 at Plaza Eliptica to which we invite all who wish to honor the memory of Carlos, as well as of all those who have been murdered by fascists for seeking a new and better world in which to live.

CARLOS, NI OLVIDO NI PERDON
EL MEJOR HOMENAJE, CONTINUAR LA LUCHA
MADRID SERA LA TUMBA DEL FASCISMO

Friends and Comrades of Carlos
