Mexico: act of solidarity with the Philippine revolution
We hereby publish an unofficial translation of a report published by Sol Rojista Mexico:
On this August 26, following the call of the Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle (FFPS) dozens of organizations around the world have fulfilled this by making today a Day of Global Action to support the Philippine revolution.
In Mexico an act of solidarity was carried out at the main square of Oaxaca, where dozens of activists from various generated organisms came to set up an information table, reading the call of the FFPS and the statement of CP-Red Sun for this day; hundreds of Mural Newspaper supplements were distributed and a dazibao of three meters was placed in the city’s main square.
In this event the comrades of the People’s Women’s Movement spoke, highlighting the role of women in the national liberation struggle of the Filipino people… “thousands of women in that country have taken a great decision that has changed their life and that also changes the lives of their people. These women have taken up arms, serving as combatants and commanders in the Maoist guerrilla of the New People’s Army… without women there is no revolution!“
Also the comrades from the Independent Artisans Movement highlighted that… “the poor people in the Philippines has reason to strugglewith arms against a tyrant government; there are also artisans there who, like us, are persecuted and criminalized for being poor and for being indigenous people.”
The comrades of the Cultural and Scientific Studies Center for the Proletarian Revolution have said that… “just as in Palestine the entire people rise up in exemplary national liberation struggle against the Zionist entity and its occupation army; just as in India the Adivasi peoples rise under the leadership of the proletariat wagingPeople’s War, challenging and defeating “Operation Kagaar”; so also in Philippines the deepest masses of the countryside and the city wage a great revolutionary struggle against puppet governments imposed by Yankee imperialism … The People’s War in the Philippines has now turned 55 years old and its only possible destiny is to win.”
Many people received the revolutionary propaganda pleased, making questions on the Philippine revolution and displaying great interest on the ongoing People’s War. This has to do with the fact that the Philippines and Mexico have a common past, being part of the damned “Viceroyalty of New Spain” and there are cultural ties and feelings of liberation which unite us. The peoples of Mexico want sincerely the triumph of the national liberation struggle of our brother Philippine people.
Moreover Periódico Mural has published a supplement on the occasion of the Global Day of Action in solidarity with the Philippine people and its struggle. We hereby share it:
