Report (with Photos and Videos) from a Rally in Vienna on 19 March 2023, Austrian Section of the RCIT, www.rkob.net and www.thecommunists.net

About 1.000 people – mostly Syrian migrants but also Palestinians, Chechens and Ukrainians – demonstrated on 19 January in the centre of Vienna to commemorate the 12^th anniversary of the Syrian Revolution. The rally was extraordinary lively and larger than similar events in the last years. It reflects that despite all the setbacks and defeats, the heroic Syrian people has not given up to resist the Assad tyranny and its Russian masters.

Comrade Michael Pröbsting, International Secretary of the RCIT, was asked to address the rally. In his speech, he denounced the brutal dictatorship of Assad as well as the merciless bombardment of the Russian Air Force. He stated the unconditional solidarity of the RCIT with the Syrian Revolution and emphasised the necessity to link it with the Palestinian Intifada as well as the resistance of the Ukrainian people against Putin’s invasion. As the video shows, his speech was enthusiastically received.

Etwa 1.000 Menschen – hauptsächlich syrische Migrantinnen und Migranten sowie Palästinenser, Tschetschenen, Ukrainer – demonstrierten am 19 März in der Wiener Innenstadt anlässlich des zwölften Jahrestags der syrischen Revolution. Die Kundgebung war außergewöhnlich lebendig und größer als ähnliche Veranstaltungen in den letzten Jahren. Dies unterstreicht, dass das heldenhafte syrische Volk – trotz aller Rückschläge und Niederlagen – weiterhin Widerstand leistet gegen die blutigen Angriffe des tyrannischen Assad-Regimes und seiner russischen Herren.

Genosse Michael Pröbsting, Internationaler Sekretär der RCIT, wurde ersucht, eine Rede zu halten. In dieser verurteilte er die brutale Diktatur von Assad sowie das rücksichtslose Bombardement der russischen Luftwaffe. Er bekundete die bedingungslose Solidarität der RCIT mit der syrischen Revolution und betonte die Notwendigkeit, diese mit der palästinensischen Intifada sowie dem Widerstand des ukrainischen Volkes gegen Putins Invasion zu verbinden. Wie das Video zeigt, wurde seine Rede enthusiastisch aufgenommen.

On February 24, an important act of the left that supports Ukraine against the invasion of Russian imperialism was held. The rally was organised by Izquierda Socialista, MST, Opinión Socialista, Comuna Socialista, PSTu and Convergencia Socialista (Argentinian Section of the RCIT).

Juan Giglio, representing Convergencia Socialista and the Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT), spoke at the event. welcoming the initiative, he proposed that the parties that called for it continue promoting unitary actions, since it is a matter of principle to be located in the trenches of Ukraine.

Our comrade compared the invasion of Ukraine with the invasion of the Malvinas Islands, by British imperialism, in 1982. There, the revolutionaries defended Argentina's right to expel the pirates from the islands, despite the dictatorial government that ruled at that time. He was at the forefront of the war at the time. A similar situation, since the semi-colonial Ukraine, like Argentina, has been attacked by an imperialist power.

This position does not mean that we defend the Zelenzky government, quite the contrary, since we tell the masses that to defeat Russia the best thing is to get rid of the bourgeois government and build their own militias and their own government – a workers' and socialist government.

In the assembly convened by the teachers trade union SUTEBA Lanús, with the purpose of voting on CTERA's report and balance, the provincial leadership defended the need to sign a salary agreement that will not recover what we have lost during these years due to inflation.

In addition, from the table, La Celeste vindicated the policy of destruction of the public school and the teaching statute, which is being carried out by the provincial government, through the Educational Reform, which lowers the budget, makes teaching work precarious, liquidates subjects and lower the content.

Gabriela Capurro, a member of the Green List and grassroots delegate from secondary school 56, strongly questioned the reform. (To learn more about the reform, see and read [in Spanish language]: an explanatory article and video by Gabriela)
