1
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:08,500
In November 2005 a demonstration in memoriam of
the last 5 executed in Franco's regime,

2
00:00:08,701 --> 00:00:14,001
was reported to the National Court
for terrorism exaltation.

3
00:00:17,002 --> 00:00:24,602
Thanks for being here. We are going to read
the communiqué of the Coordinadora antifascista.

4
00:00:25,803 --> 00:00:30,603
We want to manifest that these will be
the only declaration we will do,

5
00:00:30,704 --> 00:00:33,204
thus there won't be questions admitted.

6
00:00:34,405 --> 00:00:36,205
Here my colleague will start

7
00:00:40,606 --> 00:00:44,306
Anti-fascist demonstration: Memory, Dignity and Struggle

8
00:00:45,907 --> 00:00:52,307
On July 18th of 1936, General Francisco Franco leads
the coup d'état against the government of the Second Republic . . .

9
00:00:53,308 --> 00:00:57,308
. . . provoking the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.

10
00:01:41,009 --> 00:01:45,209
A totalitarian state will harmonize in Spain.

11
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:49,410
The functioning of all capacities and energies of the country,

12
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:57,411
in which, within national unity,
work, reckon as the most unavoidable duty,

13
00:01:58,912 --> 00:02:01,812
will be the only exponent of popular will.

14
00:02:02,313 --> 00:02:06,513
Supported by Hitler and Mussolini,
Franco manages to win the Republicans Anarchists

15
00:02:06,514 --> 00:02:10,514
who where fighting against the establishment
of a totalitarian and fascist regime,

16
00:02:11,015 --> 00:02:15,515
. . . which in the end was imposed by means of blood and fire.

17
00:02:31,716 --> 00:02:36,616
500.000 refugees

18
00:02:40,107 --> 00:02:43,917
40.000 disappear

19
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:52,918
1 million political prisoners

20
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,919
111 concentration camps between 1936 and 1972

21
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:08,120
320.000 assassinated by Franco's repression

22
00:03:14,501 --> 00:03:17,621
30.000 executed

23
00:03:22,322 --> 00:03:26,122
Prohibition of all political association

24
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:34,523
Spain... ONE!!

25
00:03:34,524 --> 00:03:36,124
Spain... GREAT!!

26
00:03:36,125 --> 00:03:37,425
Spain... FREE!!

27
00:03:59,426 --> 00:04:06,326
And valuing with all objectivity the conditions gathered in the person
of prince don Juan Carlos de Borbón y Borbón,

28
00:04:06,627 --> 00:04:10,427
who belonging to the dynasty which reign Spain
during several centuries,

29
00:04:10,728 --> 00:04:15,028
has clearly shown loyalty to the regime's
principles and institutions,

30
00:04:15,529 --> 00:04:21,200
he is tightly linked to the land, sea and air army,
where he forged his character,

31
00:04:22,001 --> 00:04:28,201
and in the last 20 years he's been perfectly prepared
for the high mission he could be called for.

32
00:04:28,882 --> 00:04:35,202
On the other hand, in gathering all the conditions determined
by the Article 11 of the succession law of the State Authority,

33
00:04:36,503 --> 00:04:40,503
I have decided to propose him to our mother country as mi successor.

34
00:04:46,804 --> 00:04:51,804
Well, having been in the former regime,
and I don't mind to say so at all…

35
00:04:53,605 --> 00:05:03,105
In 1969, Franco, along with the most ultra sector of the bourgeoisie
and the army,designates Juan Carlos as his successor
leading the State Authority.

36
00:05:03,206 --> 00:05:13,206
The king, who - according to the dictator - forged his character in
Franco's armed forces, starts participating in politics helping the head
of the government, Carrero Blanco.

37
00:05:13,207 --> 00:05:18,207
Besides, he became provisional Head of State while the dictator was ill.

38
00:05:19,308 --> 00:05:24,608
In July of 1969, Franco communicates don Juan Carlos
he will be his successor.

39
00:05:25,509 --> 00:05:27,609
He accepts… He accepts.

40
00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:32,210
In July 22nd, he tells the Parliament

41
00:05:38,411 --> 00:05:42,011
Since don Juan Carlos was designated prince of Spain,

42
00:05:42,212 --> 00:05:46,012
admiral Carrero settled matters periodically with him.

43
00:05:47,813 --> 00:05:50,713
And when he took on presidency,

44
00:05:50,714 --> 00:05:54,614
he consulted with don Juan Carlos the list of his new government.

45
00:05:54,715 --> 00:05:55,915
New Government

46
00:05:57,716 --> 00:06:01,616
I am totally identified with the political work of the Caudillo (leader).

47
00:06:01,717 --> 00:06:06,417
My loyalty to his person and his work is total, clear and clean.

48
00:06:07,618 --> 00:06:11,718
I equally declare my loyalty with same clarity and cleanness (purity)

49
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:15,219
to the prince of Spain, his successor…

50
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,920
Franco left the king as heir. While still alive, Franco appointed his heir,
his natural successor, the king,

51
00:06:30,021 --> 00:06:37,321
in year 69 -I think it was…- when the king, pledging allegiance to
the fundamental principles of the national movement

52
00:06:37,622 --> 00:06:44,502
and Franco's laws, he assumed such inheritance of the State Authority.

53
00:06:44,703 --> 00:06:50,203
And… as a matter of fact, he practiced during some time
while Franco was at the hospital before his death.

54
00:06:50,604 --> 00:06:56,204
He practiced as Head of State in a moment when
the executions of September 27th….

55
00:06:56,505 --> 00:07:00,205
So that's that, he is absolute responsible of the dictatorship

56
00:07:00,706 --> 00:07:03,706
Franco said it crystal clear: Everything remains tied up and well tied up.

57
00:07:10,207 --> 00:07:18,207
In 1975, the rise of popular movements joins the strong international 
criticism
in protest for the 5 last executions of the Regime in September 27th

58
00:07:18,708 --> 00:07:25,708
In the midst of such tense atmosphere,
Francisco Franco dies the 20th of November.

59
00:07:25,709 --> 00:07:34,709
After claiming the fascist regime, the King assumes its continuity
pledging allegiance to its laws as the successor of the dictator
at the Head of the State.

60
00:07:35,210 --> 00:07:37,110
TV news, 1st edition.

61
00:07:40,911 --> 00:07:44,911
Franco is dead.

62
00:07:49,712 --> 00:07:52,512
The Government informs

63
00:07:52,713 --> 00:07:56,813
Attention, Spanish, president of government
don Carlos Arias Navarro speaking.

64
00:07:57,214 --> 00:08:03,214
Spanish, Franco has died.

65
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:50,915
Occurring the vacancy in the State Authority,
prince don Juan Carlos de Borbón y Borbón

66
00:08:51,716 --> 00:08:56,716
will take the oath and will be proclaimed king
by the Spanish Parliament.

67
00:08:59,550 --> 00:09:03,817
An exceptional figure enters History.

68
00:09:05,418 --> 00:09:09,818
The name of Francisco Franco will already be a stage
of the Spanish happening

69
00:09:11,019 --> 00:09:15,019
and a milestone to which it will be impossible not to refer

70
00:09:15,220 --> 00:09:20,220
to in order to understand the key of
our contemporary political life.

71
00:09:20,521 --> 00:09:24,321
With respect and gratitude I want to remember the figure

72
00:09:24,322 --> 00:09:28,322
of whom during so many years assumed the heavy duty

73
00:09:28,323 --> 00:09:31,223
of guiding the government of the State.

74
00:09:31,424 --> 00:09:35,124
If we all stay united, we will have gained the future.

75
00:09:35,225 --> 00:09:36,125
Hurrah for Spain!

76
00:09:36,126 --> 00:09:37,226
Hurrah!

77
00:09:37,427 --> 00:09:38,227
Hurrah for Spain!

78
00:09:38,528 --> 00:09:39,928
Hurrah for Spain!

79
00:09:40,029 --> 00:09:41,129
Hurrah for Spain!

80
00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:42,030
Hurrah for Spain!

81
00:09:42,231 --> 00:09:44,231
Always hurrah for Spain!
Always hurrah for Spain!

82
00:09:45,732 --> 00:09:46,732
Long live Franco!

83
00:09:46,733 --> 00:09:47,733
Long live!

84
00:09:52,234 --> 00:09:59,234
I swear to God and the Holy Gospel to obey and make obey
the fundamental laws of the Reign

85
00:09:59,535 --> 00:10:03,735
and to be loyal to the principles that shape the national movement.

86
00:10:04,036 --> 00:10:07,036
Monarchy, either we take it or not, is an anachronism;

87
00:10:07,137 --> 00:10:11,637
it is a medieval institution that does not agree with any democratic system.

88
00:10:11,838 --> 00:10:16,838
Monarchy was imposed to us, the people of the East of Spain.
A monarchy chosen by Fanco.

89
00:10:17,139 --> 00:10:22,439
A king who had been educated,
formed and elected by the dictator Francisco Franco.

90
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:30,140
Lets imagine what would be said, what would happen if Italy
had a Head of State appointed by Mussolini,

91
00:10:30,341 --> 00:10:32,941
or Germany had a head of state designated by Hitler.

92
00:10:33,042 --> 00:10:38,742
Well, there you have. Although it sounds hard and demagogic/pamphletistic
that's what we actually have here, it's the truth.

93
00:10:40,343 --> 00:10:46,743
Dear attorneys, dear councillors, from the emotion in the memory of Franco…

94
00:10:48,604 --> 00:10:52,744
Long live the King!
Hurrah for Spain!

95
00:11:12,245 --> 00:11:18,545
After the strong pressure inside and outside the
regime,

96
00:11:19,246 --> 00:11:25,546
the upper bourgeoisie promoted the so called Transition towards democracy
in order to dismantle the popular agitation,

97
00:11:25,947 --> 00:11:31,847
to keep political control and to drive the system
to more capitalist politics with higher benefits.


98
00:11:33,205 --> 00:11:38,145
The process of Transition was an agreement amongst
the oligarchies and parties self called left;

99
00:11:38,146 --> 00:11:39,846
and it meant treason to the working class.

100
00:11:39,947 --> 00:11:43,147
It was created through the Constitution and
the Moncloa Agreements, and thus,

101
00:11:43,248 --> 00:11:46,348
it was not a democratic process, no, it was not such thing at all…

102
00:11:46,549 --> 00:11:49,849
The Transition was precisely that, wasn't it?
To agree a silence law,

103
00:11:50,050 --> 00:11:56,450
to agree a full stop law with the responsible
for the assassinations and the dictatorship

104
00:11:56,751 --> 00:12:03,151
in order to maintain the economical, political, and so on structure;
that is: the structure of power.

105
00:12:06,052 --> 00:12:15,152
The elected by the former regime, Juan Carlos I, appointed the first 
president of the "democracy",
the pro-Franco ex-governor Adolfo Suarez. .

106
00:12:18,203 --> 00:12:24,153
The royal house has make the following
public announcement: Under the organic law

107
00:12:24,154 --> 00:12:28,154
of the state before the provisional proposal
of the Reign Council,

108
00:12:28,255 --> 00:12:33,755
your majesty the king, has designated Don Adolfo Suárez González
as the head of the government,

109
00:12:34,756 --> 00:12:38,656
who has already been general director of television
and civil governor of Segovia.

110
00:12:43,057 --> 00:12:47,657
Suárez lacks of the popular legitimacy given by votes
in democratic elections.

111
00:12:48,258 --> 00:12:52,558
I swear I will hold the duty of president of government
with  absolute loyalty to the King

112
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:57,759
and strict fidelity to the principles of the National movement
and the fundamental laws of the Reign

113
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:08,760
In spite of the political "change", pro-Franco people (Franco followers)
continued established in power.

114
00:13:09,961 --> 00:13:16,361
Outstanding elements of Franco's fascism are today
in the direction board of public and private companies;

115
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:21,362
are in the high judicature; are in the Police; are in the army…

116
00:13:21,763 --> 00:13:27,363
And this can be hided during some time and can be silenced with the threat 
of
a military rise (coup d'état) as it was done during the 80's,

117
00:13:28,064 --> 00:13:33,164
but it is so evident and clear now that people is realizing it.

118
00:13:33,365 --> 00:13:34,565
House of Commons

119
00:13:34,566 --> 00:13:37,266
At this moment… at this moment… a shot has been heard,

120
00:13:37,667 --> 00:13:44,467
a very hard knock in the camera, the Civil Guard comes in,
at this moment in the House of Commons.

121
00:13:45,468 --> 00:13:51,168
There is a lieutenant colonel and carrying a gun goes up stairs
to the tribune… In this moment is aiming…

122
00:13:51,169 --> 00:13:52,569
Everybody keep still!!

123
00:13:52,570 --> 00:13:53,970
He is a Civil Guard…

124
00:13:54,071 --> 00:14:00,271
lieutenant colonel Antonio Tejero from the Civil Guard leads
the armed assault to the House of Commons

125
00:14:01,372 --> 00:14:04,972
And we are seeing how… Careful! The police, the police

126
00:14:05,173 --> 00:14:07,973
To the ground! To the ground everybody! To the ground!

127
00:14:09,274 --> 00:14:12,674
We can not broadcast anymore becaus is aiming to me with...

128
00:14:14,275 --> 00:14:15,475
To the ground!

129
00:14:21,776 --> 00:14:24,476
February 23rd, 1981

130
00:14:27,477 --> 00:14:28,777
Still!

131
00:14:30,278 --> 00:14:38,778
All presidents after Suarez have pledged allegiance
to the king imposed by Franco.

132
00:14:39,779 --> 00:14:47,279
One after the other has been imposing different fascist and repressive 
policies.

133
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:01,780
(I swear) I will loyally carry out the obligations
of president of government.

134
00:15:02,281 --> 00:15:05,781
Entry/Become a member of in the
terrorist organization NATO

135
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:12,782
I will faithfully carry out the obligations of president
of government with loyalty to the king.

136
00:15:14,083 --> 00:15:19,783
-Creation of paramilitary groups (GAL).
Creation of Temporary Work Agencies. Gulf War.

137
00:15:22,884 --> 00:15:28,484
I swear I will faithfully carry out the obligations of president
of government with loyalty to the king.

138
00:15:30,685 --> 00:15:35,485
Political parties banning. Yugoslavia War.
Newspaper shutdowns. Iraq War

139
00:15:38,986 --> 00:15:43,786
I will faithfully carry out the obligations of president
of government with loyalty to the king.

140
00:15:44,287 --> 00:15:47,787
Immigrants repression. Military occupation of Afghanistan
and Haiti. Labour reform.

141
00:15:47,988 --> 00:15:50,288
Spanish troops in Haiti

142
00:16:18,089 --> 00:16:24,289
In these "democracy" days, capitalism proclaims the defense
of human values and condemns "any expression" of violence,

143
00:16:24,590 --> 00:16:29,190
using mass media and collectives such as the AVT.

144
00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:34,591
Power, which claims to condemn violence… practices it constantly…

145
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,257
To Protect everybody's rights and liberties.

146
00:16:46,128 --> 00:16:48,508
Policemen hitting citizens who were doing nothing.

147
00:16:48,509 --> 00:16:51,109
Police Repression

148
00:16:55,900 --> 00:17:00,810
International Amnesty denounces 320 cases of torture
between 1995 and 2002

149
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:07,211
The detention of 155 squatters who were
moved out by the police

150
00:17:13,212 --> 00:17:17,412
Control and mass media manipulation

151
00:17:20,413 --> 00:17:22,713
Censorship

152
00:17:25,714 --> 00:17:30,414
Participation in terrorist invasions

153
00:17:30,815 --> 00:17:32,215
Gentlemen of UN

154
00:17:35,016 --> 00:17:39,016
Causing victims in the invaded countries

155
00:17:40,417 --> 00:17:44,017
March 11th, 2004, Madrid

156
00:17:45,218 --> 00:17:49,618
… and in the invading countries.

157
00:17:52,319 --> 00:18:01,819
Such it is, comrades, fascists are not like fungus
growing just overnight, no.

158
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:06,620
Employers have set up fascist, have love them, have paid them,

159
00:18:08,121 --> 00:18:12,821
and with fascist, the employers have earned more and more,
till they didn't know where to put the money.

160
00:18:13,422 --> 00:18:21,222
And thus they invented war and they sent us to Africa,
to Russia, to Greece, to Albany, to Spain…

161
00:18:22,123 --> 00:18:26,623
But we always pay, who pays? The proletarians,
farmers, workers… the poor.

162
00:18:28,924 --> 00:18:37,624
After the change of regime, antifascist groups demonstrate every
20th of November rejecting Franco's regime

163
00:18:37,725 --> 00:18:41,425
and its continuity in the form of a capitalist democracy.

164
00:18:41,526 --> 00:18:48,626
In 2005, the Antifascist Coordinating Committee of Madrid decides to call 
for
the 20N mobilization in memory of the last 5 executed of the dictatorship,

165
00:18:48,827 --> 00:18:54,427
combining thus yesterday's anti-Franco's fight with today's
anti-capitalist and anti-fascist struggle

166
00:18:57,628 --> 00:19:04,428
In this 20N mobilization, we remember those who left their illusions,
their health or their lives fighting fascism;

167
00:19:05,229 --> 00:19:11,229
we strongly remember with love those five fighters for
freedom that Franco-system murdered 30 years ago.

168
00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:19,130
Surely they, the rich and powerful do not understand,
but those who died in the name of freedom have not died completely.

169
00:19:20,131 --> 00:19:29,201
They could not defeat them, and today, they've walked with us,
behind each hood and in each shout/yell/cry, lifted up with each fist.

170
00:19:29,202 --> 00:19:31,899
José Luis Sánchez Bravo Sollas, 22 years old.

171
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,500
José Humberto Francisco Baena Alonso, 24 years old.

172
00:19:36,001 --> 00:19:38,401
Ramón García Sanz, 27 years old.

173
00:19:38,602 --> 00:19:41,000
Juan Paredes Manot (Txiqui), 21 years old.

174
00:19:41,401 --> 00:19:44,401
Ángel Otaegui  Etxebarria, 33 years old.

175
00:19:44,602 --> 00:19:51,402
In the night of the 19N of 2005, the verses that Txiqui
wrote before being killed will sound:

176
00:19:52,203 --> 00:19:59,203
Tomorrow when I die, don't you come to cry,
I will never be underground, I am wind of freedom.

177
00:20:04,204 --> 00:20:06,604
León Herrera Esteban
Ministry of Information and Tourism.

178
00:20:06,704 --> 00:20:11,804
The government, in relation to 4 causes instructed by military jurisdiction

179
00:20:13,205 --> 00:20:17,205
with charges of terrorism and aggression to army forces,

180
00:20:18,706 --> 00:20:26,206
has acknowledged the correspondent sentences and knows about
the death (capital) penalty imposed to

181
00:20:32,207 --> 00:20:43,207
Ángel Otaegui Etxebarria, José Humberto Francisco Baena Alonso, Ramón García 
Sanz,
José Luis Sánchez Bravo Sollas and Juan Paredes Manotas.

182
00:20:48,308 --> 00:20:50,608
News advance

183
00:20:51,009 --> 00:20:57,409
Multiple indult petitions from foreign and Spanish famous people
and institutions are arriving to El Pardo Palace.

184
00:20:58,910 --> 00:21:04,410
It is the third time in few weeks that the Pope
implores mercy to the condemned to Franco.

185
00:21:08,011 --> 00:21:15,411
That same night and without waiting for the tragic final of the penalties,
violent demonstrations take place in London, Paris, Rome

186
00:21:15,612 --> 00:21:23,412
and other European cities against the Spanish diplomatic representatives,
tourism offices and Iberia`s delegations.

187
00:21:25,413 --> 00:21:33,613
Everything is useless; the old General is completely convinced of the
imperative need to apply exemplary punishments.

188
00:21:35,414 --> 00:21:46,014
Before down in Madrid, a retinue carrying José Baena, Luis Sánchez Bravo and
Ramón García Sanz starts its way from Carabanchel prision to the execution 
squad.

189
00:21:48,415 --> 00:21:53,415
An hour before 08:30 am, Ángel Otaegui has been executed in Burgos;

190
00:21:54,316 --> 00:21:59,216
at 08:35 am, Juan Paredes Manot in Barcelona.

191
00:22:01,117 --> 00:22:02,217
Squad!

192
00:22:05,718 --> 00:22:07,218
Aim!

193
00:22:09,419 --> 00:22:10,519
FIRE!

194
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:19,520
Spain is kept silent, but during all that weekend the entire Europe becomes
a huge anti-Franco demonstration.

195
00:22:22,621 --> 00:22:24,521
You fascist, assassins!

196
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:34,422
Resides, Mexico's President, Echeverría, demands before UN to
expel Spain from this organism,

197
00:22:34,723 --> 00:22:39,223
and to all of its members to break diplomatic relationships
with Spain, and even more,

198
00:22:39,624 --> 00:22:43,524
to keep our country under business and communication isolation.

199
00:22:44,525 --> 00:22:48,025
The isolation ghost flies over Spain once again.

200
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:57,226
In spite of international pressure in 1975, the ultra-right defends, 30 
years later,
Franco's thesis through the Terrorism Victims Association (AVT).

201
00:22:57,427 --> 00:23:05,027
AVT criminalizes the demonstration called by the Antifascist Coordinator of 
Madrid
in memoriam of the last 5 executed of the dictatorship,

202
00:23:05,228 --> 00:23:10,228
legitimising thus Franco's crimes and ignoring the international
rejection to death penalty.

203
00:23:10,429 --> 00:23:15,753
Numerous media don't doubt in giving coverage and repercussion
to the AVT condemnation.

204
00:23:16,354 --> 00:23:20,754
…of General Franco, five of them where members of ETA and
two of them members of FRAP.

205
00:23:21,055 --> 00:23:24,655
The Victims Association considers an outrage the fact
that the Anti-Fascist Coordinator,

206
00:23:24,956 --> 00:23:30,156
organizer of the event, goes through the same way than
the terrorism victims in their demonstration.

207
00:23:30,557 --> 00:23:35,657
The strategy that is being used in this demonstration is
the same strategy used in the Basque Country

208
00:23:35,958 --> 00:23:39,058
Permanent alert towards the enemies of the country!

209
00:23:39,259 --> 00:23:44,459
An anonymous person calls with a completely different slogan than
that of the demonstration, as the posters show.

210
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:51,560
The posters with 5 terrorists and the slogan of the demonstration have 
nothing
to do with the petition made to the government delegate.

211
00:23:51,861 --> 00:23:57,361
To stand up, it must be said… to the great enemies of Spain,
which are: Marxism and Separatism.

212
00:24:01,962 --> 00:24:08,362
Therefore, once the government delegate has evidence of this fraud,
that it is a demonstration to exalt terrorism,

213
00:24:08,863 --> 00:24:12,963
he has the obligation, and all responsibility, to prevent
this event from taking place.

214
00:24:13,264 --> 00:24:19,464
… to squash any attempt of subvert or alter this country's life.

215
00:24:22,765 --> 00:24:29,765
Differences of opinion must be tolerated, but not when they
are too different; then they become subversive.

216
00:24:31,266 --> 00:24:37,266
AVT is an organization that acts as the social front of Popular Party (PP)
and pretends "derechizar" the public opinion

217
00:24:37,767 --> 00:24:43,707
with postulates that advocate censorship, police like solution
and dialog rejection in political conflicts.

218
00:24:45,308 --> 00:24:51,400
The Association for the Victims of Terrorism was initially a group set up 
for those affected
by the victims of attacks perpetrated by the Basque organisation ETA.

219
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:57,709
But soon the far-right Franco movement would show its face, making itself
visible through street demonstrations against the dialogue

220
00:24:57,910 --> 00:25:01,910
to put an end over the political conflict in the Basque country,
and criminalising musical groups such as:

221
00:25:01,911 --> 00:25:04,911
-Fermín Muguruza
"AVT emits a press communiqué against the celebration of Fermín Muguruza's 
concerts."

222
00:25:05,112 --> 00:25:07,912
-Soziedad Alcohólica
"AVT regrets the Town Hall of Vitoria can not manage to stop the performance
of "Sociedad Alkoholica""

223
00:25:07,913 --> 00:25:10,513
-Berri Txarrak
"Suspension of the musical concert of the group Berri Txarrak in Madrid"

224
00:25:10,514 --> 00:25:12,714
-Manu Chao
"Manu Chao's show is cancelled in Málaga after the AVT critics.
Manu Chao rejects playing without Muguruza"

225
00:25:15,855 --> 00:25:21,367
Thank you friends. I would like to mention…
and also to speak about some important themes…

226
00:25:22,768 --> 00:25:25,868
strong issues, big things…
Yes, yes, yes…

227
00:25:25,869 --> 00:25:28,869
No jokes or silly stuff like that,

228
00:25:32,770 --> 00:25:36,370
Also, for once one has the opportunity to speak out;
one can not loose time with such silly things…

229
00:25:36,471 --> 00:25:41,871
Its better to pick an up to date theme, an issue that worries,
grab it, and pim, pam, pim, pam…

230
00:25:41,872 --> 00:25:44,272
On and on, whatever happens

231
00:25:44,472 --> 00:25:49,055
We have to make good use of the freedom we have
nowadays to be able to… (speak) Don't we?

232
00:25:50,356 --> 00:25:52,256
Well, nothing happens, ha!

233
00:25:52,657 --> 00:25:58,257
Come on, I don't think…
I don't believe thatfor saying a few silly things I will be…

234
00:25:59,958 --> 00:26:06,258
I don't think so!
Everything's cool, man!
This has changed… wow! This has really changed…

235
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:10,459
The AVT has criminalized, traed to criminalized, this demonstration.

236
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:12,660
Do you honestly believe that they are going to get their own way?

237
00:26:12,772 --> 00:26:14,272
No, I don't think so.

238
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,972
Don't you think… Ho! What are you? A family of communists?

239
00:26:19,473 --> 00:26:24,273
I think it's somehow its role. It is an organization
that operates as en extreme right group

240
00:26:24,574 --> 00:26:29,174
and what tries to do is to get political profit of the victims,
which they are not even all represented.

241
00:26:29,375 --> 00:26:32,275
That's normal, coming from an organization
of those characteristics,

242
00:26:32,376 --> 00:26:37,676
which by the way doesn't represent any terrorism victim,
but defends some principles that are more related

243
00:26:37,777 --> 00:26:41,877
to the extreme right and that kind of traditions.

244
00:26:42,978 --> 00:26:46,278
It's proven they are representatives of capital

245
00:26:47,079 --> 00:26:49,479
Why do you think this demonstration has tried to be criminalized?

246
00:26:49,780 --> 00:26:59,200
Well, on the one hand, the AVT is, (in a way), the political arm of
the Popular Party and of quite a big part of the right of this country,

247
00:26:59,501 --> 00:27:09,201
especially in themes related to the Basque conflict, the AVT has panic
and terror for the conflict in Euskady to jump over the repressive dynamic

248
00:27:11,202 --> 00:27:21,002
Any kind of different strategy such as… (I don't know), a negotiated 
solution,
a truce process, a dialog, in which themes like self-determination

249
00:27:21,003 --> 00:27:30,203
are placed on the table, panics them.
And so, everything around Euskadi is going to be treated by them
in repressive key, sensationalistic key, criminalize key.

250
00:27:30,504 --> 00:27:33,204
We defend liberty of expression, we fight against censorship.

251
00:27:36,205 --> 00:27:42,305
We've created already a communiqué, we've sent it to the press,
it is on the webpage of the Antifascist Coordinator,

252
00:27:43,206 --> 00:27:50,006
and, well, we manifest that the AVT is an association
that does not represent all victims,

253
00:27:50,207 --> 00:27:54,107
and what it does is a political usage of victims.

254
00:27:54,108 --> 00:27:56,408
Ou, nou, nazis nou, nazis nou, nazis nou
Ou, nou, nazis nou, nazis nou, nazis nou

255
00:27:58,109 --> 00:28:00,209
Manipulators!

256
00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:28,110
AVT tries by all means to stop the demonstration,
making an official complaint

257
00:28:28,211 --> 00:28:32,711
to the National Audience and labelling with
"terrorism exaltation" a homage act

258
00:28:32,912 --> 00:28:37,712
to the executed of the dictatorship and the anti-Franco fighters.

259
00:28:37,850 --> 00:28:42,213
The Antifascist Coordinator of Madrid decides to call a press-conference
to respond the harassment of the AVT.

260
00:28:42,414 --> 00:28:43,714
Antifascist Coordinator

261
00:28:43,815 --> 00:28:48,315
And now I want to comment on the position
of the Antifascist Coordinator of Madrid,

262
00:28:48,516 --> 00:28:54,416
which is a coordinator that gathers different organizations and
collectives that have a neighbourhood (suburb),

263
00:28:54,717 --> 00:29:00,517
political and social work, and, who, about the charges presented
by the AVT, manifest the following.

264
00:29:00,718 --> 00:29:02,218
Historic memory

265
00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:06,519
First of all, the demonstration of Saturday
19th of November at 8 pm in Cibeles

266
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:13,520
is an homage to the hundred of thousands assassinated
and victims of reprisal of a terrorist and antidemocratic regime.

267
00:29:13,821 --> 00:29:20,321
That's why the intents, in the name of democracy,
of stopping an exercise of historical memory

268
00:29:20,422 --> 00:29:24,122
that pays tribute to all who fought against dictatorship,
seems especially suspicious.

269
00:29:24,223 --> 00:29:25,523
Massive mobilization

270
00:29:25,624 --> 00:29:31,024
To the accusations of terrorism exaltation
we democrats and antifascists from Madrid,

271
00:29:31,325 --> 00:29:36,725
must respond with a massive and pacific mobilization in
defense of political rights and liberties.

272
00:29:36,826 --> 00:29:37,926
Against fear

273
00:29:37,927 --> 00:29:41,927
Firms against the repressive and censoring tendency
of the most intransigent right

274
00:29:41,928 --> 00:29:44,928
and the neo-Franco ideas that are imposing in the Spanish state

275
00:29:44,929 --> 00:29:47,629
the invention of closing mouths and extending fear

276
00:29:47,730 --> 00:29:48,830
Solidarity

277
00:29:48,931 --> 00:29:54,331
To fear and silence we must respond with the solidarity
of all of us who are pro freedom,

278
00:29:54,532 --> 00:29:57,732
civil rights, and retrieval of the best of our historical memory.

279
00:29:57,633 --> 00:29:58,933
To win freedom back

280
00:29:59,034 --> 00:30:03,734
We confirm the antifascist demonstration still goes on,
stronger and with more motives than ever,

281
00:30:03,935 --> 00:30:08,205
and we invite you to make of it: a big act
of affirmation and liberties reconquest,

282
00:30:08,406 --> 00:30:11,306
of solidarity and compromise with social emancipation.

283
00:30:11,407 --> 00:30:12,807
They will not pass

284
00:30:13,008 --> 00:30:18,008
We call for tomorrow at 8 pm in Cibeles. They will not pass.

285
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:31,009
History hasn't finished. Capitalism is barbarism
and suffering for the most.

286
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:37,200
In the most is hope. Defend joy, organize anger.
They will not pass!

287
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:58,701
Follow your own impulses

288
00:31:06,402 --> 00:31:08,502
Experiment new things

289
00:31:11,003 --> 00:31:12,703
Immigrate isn't a crime

290
00:31:13,204 --> 00:31:14,704
Be different

291
00:31:22,105 --> 00:31:23,405
Don't vote, reed.

292
00:31:24,506 --> 00:31:25,506

294

NO
Evil enslaving racism

295
00:31:33,609 --> 00:31:34,709
No Aznar

296
00:31:41,010 --> 00:31:42,410
Get everything you have inside out

297
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,511
Let's join together to fight fascism today and never to let it back.

298
00:31:49,712 --> 00:31:52,712
Not a step back! Antifascist assembly of Sanse and Alcobendas.

299
00:31:53,113 --> 00:31:55,513
Antifascist groups of nowadays...

300
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:10,514
Let's punch back till we leave them K.O.

301
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:16,215
Can you hear people's voice?

302
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,816
30 years after Franco torture still exists.
Absolution for Sergio L.D.

303
00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:43,200
In the name of all victims of reprisal of Franco's regime

304
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:54,701
An applause for all them

305
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:06,100
Is it necessary to keep on fighting against fascism?

306
00:33:06,301 --> 00:33:09,401
Well, I have done it and I think we should all do it.

307
00:33:09,902 --> 00:33:12,102
Nowadays, why is it necessary to keep on fighting?

308
00:33:12,103 --> 00:33:14,903
I am glad to see young people, I am very glad,

309
00:33:15,504 --> 00:33:23,200
but I think there should be a continuum of antifascist culture,

310
00:33:23,401 --> 00:33:26,001
which I don't see anywhere, do you understand?

311
00:33:26,202 --> 00:33:27,502
And, do you see it here?

312
00:33:28,003 --> 00:33:33,200
Yes, indeed, why do you think I came here for?
To be satisfied and see it, and enjoy it, ok?

313
00:33:35,201 --> 00:33:36,501
Ok, thank you very much.

314
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:43,702
Despite the attempts of criminalization by the AVT,
the demonstration was a success.

315
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:50,203
It counted with the support of numerous organizations and
the participation of more than 5.000 people.

316
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:57,700
This demo is part of a rise of social movements,
which have managed to mobilize thousands of people

317
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,535
for the Auto-determination of nations, for socialism,
and for the anti-monarchy, anti-fascist and anti-capitalist struggle.

318
00:34:04,206 --> 00:34:08,700
During many years thousands of militants suffered
repression and gave up their lives,

319
00:34:08,901 --> 00:34:13,401
their time, their youth, for freedom.
And here we are to honour them.

320
00:34:13,802 --> 00:34:15,202
Tell us, why are you here today?

321
00:34:15,903 --> 00:34:19,703
To demonstrate against a constitution that we consider
illegitimate and a-monarchic,

322
00:34:20,204 --> 00:34:26,204
that means the maintenance in power of the oligarchic
power that ruled during Franco.

323
00:34:26,505 --> 00:34:30,405
And that's why we demonstrate;
for the auto-determination right of people,

324
00:34:30,406 --> 00:34:33,206
for a confederated republic and for socialism.

325
00:34:34,007 --> 00:34:35,207
What should be done?

326
00:34:35,208 --> 00:34:39,008
Spread as much as possible all press releases and
the discourse of social movements.

327
00:34:39,209 --> 00:34:43,209
To organize committees; the more, the best

328
00:34:43,910 --> 00:34:45,210
To fight against fascism

329
00:34:45,411 --> 00:34:49,211
To claim that there must be a memory and
continuity between the people

330
00:34:49,212 --> 00:34:53,412
who fought and the ones who keep on fighting,
so their deaths are not in vain.

331
00:34:53,413 --> 00:34:54,613
What should be done?

332
00:34:54,614 --> 00:34:56,414
A massive demonstration, combative

333
00:34:56,515 --> 00:34:58,515
To assert ourselves against Franco

334
00:34:59,516 --> 00:35:01,400
First of all, we would have to start a debate about what Spain is.

335
00:35:01,401 --> 00:35:03,601
Second of all, what's all that about two Spains?

336
00:35:04,602 --> 00:35:09,202
There are no two Spains here; what there is here is working people,
exploited and exploiters. Neither Spains nor Spouns.

337
00:35:09,603 --> 00:35:13,003
And there are misters who own palaces and others
who don't even have where to sleep.

338
00:35:14,204 --> 00:35:16,204
- Ok, thanks very much.
- You're welcome.

339
00:35:16,405 --> 00:35:17,705
-…they don't represent anybody, do they?

340
00:35:17,706 --> 00:35:20,406
well of course, nobody at all. They represent themselves.

341
00:35:20,707 --> 00:35:24,907
In fact, they earn money for themselves,
they keep money for their only objectives,

342
00:35:25,208 --> 00:35:27,108
I mean, no, they represent absolutely no body.

343
00:35:27,609 --> 00:35:32,800
And the sad thing is, really, there are no enough
mass media to spread all this.

344
00:35:33,901 --> 00:35:38,201
And the only enemy we people, proletarians, have is capital.

345
00:35:39,702 --> 00:35:43,602
And thus, in order to be against capital,
one has to be antifascist. I least I do.

346
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:48,303
I've been all my life fighting against fascism.

347
00:35:49,304 --> 00:35:52,604
Revolution is not made by one person; it is made by many people.

348
00:35:52,805 --> 00:35:54,005
To fight against fascism

349
00:35:54,206 --> 00:35:57,006
We are antifascist because we are anti-capitalists,

350
00:35:57,307 --> 00:36:00,907
because we understand fascism as
the most terrorist expression of capitalism.

351
00:36:40,508 --> 00:36:43,708
Breaking fences
Joining people

352
00:36:46,769 --> 00:36:48,709
Wherever power goes it will find resistance

353
00:36:51,310 --> 00:36:52,710
They are going to fight and these are their weapons

354
00:36:56,501 --> 00:36:58,011
Fascism and racism arguments of capitalism

355
00:36:59,712 --> 00:37:01,212
100% anti-fascist
BAF

356
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:25,200
Playing ball is forbidden

357
00:37:24,901 --> 00:37:26,501
Republic
Auto-determination
Socialism

358
00:37:26,602 --> 00:37:28,102
We are all ship-constructors

359
00:37:50,404 --> 00:37:52,604
This demonstration finishes here,
but the antifascist struggle continues.

360
00:37:53,705 --> 00:37:55,905
"Future is ours"
This demonstration finishes here, but the antifascist struggle continues.
