RCIT Activities in 2024 (April-July)

Today, at 5 pm, we gathered in front of the House of Corrientes, where we held a rally. This meeting was addressed with speeches by representatives of the Socialist Network for Human Rights, Coordinator for Rights and Justice of Corrientes, together with Mariela Aguirre (daughter of Don Aguirre, disappeared in 2023 in Monte Caseros), a delegation of the Workers' Party (on behalf of the deputy Vanina Biasi), Mónica Schlotthauer (deputy of the Socialist Left, in the FITU), Insurgent Retirees, Convergencia Socialista and Defensorías de Géneros.

Our organization believes that it is necessary to intensify and extend solidarity actions throughout the country with the people of Corrientes, who are engaged in an enormous struggle for justice against the entire "caste" of politicians, judges and police who exercise power with methods similar to those used by the feudal lords of other times.

This is a real rebellion, of a democratic nature, and an example for the entire working class that is preparing to confront the chainsaw of Milei, the IMF and company. Later we will publish a video with all the speeches.

Hoy, a las 17 horas, concentramos frente a la Casa de Corrientes, donde realizamos una radio abierta, en la que hicieron uso de la palabra representantes de la Red Socialista por los Derechos Humanos, Coordinadora por los Derechos y Justicia de Corrientes, junto a Mariela Aguirre (hija de Don Aguirre, desaparecido en 2023 en Monte Caseros), una delegación del Partido Obrero (en nombre de la diputada Vanina Biasi) Mónica Schlotthauer (diputada de Izquierda Socialista, en el FITU) Jubilados Insurgentes, Convergencia Socialista y Defensorías de Géneros.

Desde nuestra organización consideramos que es necesario intensificar y extender acciones de solidaridad en todo el país para con el pueblo de Corrientes, que en su enorme lucha por justicia cuestiona a toda la "casta" de políticos, jueces y policías que ejercen el poder con métodos parecidos a los que utilizaban los señores feudales de otras épocas. Esta verdadera rebelión, de carácter democrático, es un ejemplo para toda la clase trabajadora que se prepara para enfrentar a la motosierra de Milei, el FMI y compañía. Más tarde publicaremos un video con todos los discursos.

London: Pro-Palestine Demonstration Calling for an End of the Genocide

By Laurence Humphries, RCIT Britain, 6^th July 2024

The 16^th national march in solidarity with Palestine took place in London on 6^th July. Like the previous marches, it was organised by Stop the War, Friends of Al Asqa and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

More than 100,000 people participated in the march many of them migrants from Arab and Middle Eastern countries and from the South. Despite continual downpour of rain, it was still very much full of lively with people singing for a Free Palestine. They also demanded from the new Labour government of Starmer that it demands a ceasefire and an end of the genocide. Furthermore, demonstrators called for a democratic Palestine from the river to the sea End and end of the Apartheid settler state.

There were very few trade union banners but the placards denouncing Arch-Zionist Starmer were evident. Pressure on Starmer and his government is immense showing the strength of the pro-Palestinian masses and the fervour which has definitely affected the oppressed masses in Britain.

The RCIT intervened in the March selling our latest magazines and handling out leaflets in support of the Palestine resistance.

Israel: Anti-War Protest in Haifa

By Yossi Schwartz, Internationalist Socialist League (RCIT Section in Israel/Occupied Palestine), 28.6.2024

Yesterday, I participated in a rally against the war organized by “Left Haifa”. Around 22-25 people participated mostly Jews but also some Palestinians. The main slogans were “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free“, “For a permanent ceasefire“, and “Free all for all“.

The government is a war criminal, and they cannot stop us from demonstrating. The police were there to intimidate and after one hour they broke the rally and arrested three people that were released later on.
