On Saturday July 3, about 1000 militants and sympathizers of the CNT
took to the streets to protest against labour reform and cutbacks which
the working class has had to endure over the last few months.
The demonstration started punctually down Atocha St. at 12:00 with
comrades from Valencia, Granada, Córdoba, Salamanca, etc. The
demonstration at times turned into a combative march, with its
participants shouting «workers, if you don’t fight, nobody listens»
«union, action, self-management»,»workers, wake up, unemployment is at
your doorstep» and other slogans criticizing labour reform.
The demonstration went without notable incidents until the Puerta del
Sol. There, Carmen, secretary of the Regional Confederation Centre,
took the microphone and clearly and directly denounced the new blow to
the working class that represented by labour reform, where the workers
themselves must pay contributions to a fund which pays for their own
dismissals. She denounced the situation where the workers had to pay for
the crisis while the government reinforces its capital and spoke of the
necessity to fight harder than ever against the enemies of the working
class.
