Second Latin American Meeting of Worker-Recovered Factories

In Latin America resistance against the destruction of industry and the defense of jobs took on different forms. The criticism and questioning of these are part of the discussion within the labor movement and they were debated at the First Latin American Meeting of Worker-Recovered Factories, which was held in Venezuela on October 29, 2005.

At that time we said: "They close factories, we open them. They steal the land and we occupy it. They wage wars and destroy nations; we defend peace and the sovereign integration of the peoples. They divide and we unite. Because we are the working class. Because we are the present and the future of the humanity".

Today, even more than in 2005, the situation of the people of Latin America strengthens our resolve to continue building and deepening this unity. The current situation on our continent did not come to us as a free gift. It has taken many years of uprisings, resistance, projects and a lot of hard work on the part of workers to build this historical opportunity.

Our movement is anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist. It is a call and an organized movement of the working class against the regime of private property of the means of production, which can only survive by waging wars, exploiting and oppressing the people. We are aware that the struggle is at different stages in our American continent, and that many of today's governments do not represent our interests; however, we are witnessing a situation which is favorable for the making of concrete proposals, to debate and to put the stamp of the workers on the matters that concern us.

Clearly, this will not be easy. In Bolivia we saw how the ruling class reacted to the nationalization of natural resources, faced with the putting into practice of genuine sovereignty. Or in Venezuela, which with its revolutionary steps forward in the fields of education, healthcare, the land question, continues to be a thorn in the side of those who have always lived on the backs of the people and its resources. And so, they continue to produce lies through their media, using fear and hunger. Despite this, the Venezuelan and Bolivian people were not deceived and reelected Chavez and Evo Morales. The same was the case in Ecuador with Correa and, recently, in Paraguay, with the election of Lugo by the people.

We are making an appeal to all the factories recovered by the workers and to the social organizations in struggle to participate in the "Second Latin American Meeting of Worker-Recovered Factories", and unite the struggle of our sector with that of the rest of the working class and support the struggle for socialism that is being carried out by the Bolivian and Venezuelan people with the support of the workers of the whole of Latin America.

We appeal to all of you to join our efforts and to meet in Caracas, Venezuela on June 25, 26 and 27, 2009.

Long live the struggle of the workers in the recovered factories!

Long live the struggle of the working class!

Long live the Venezuelan revolution!

Long live the Bolivian revolution!

We will win! Venceremos!

 2º Encuentro Latinoamericano de Empresas Recuperadas por Trabajadores

En América Latina la resistencia contra la destrucción de la industria y la defensa de los empleos asumió diferentes formas. La critica y sus cuestionamientos forman parte de la discusión del movimiento obrero y fueron objeto del debate del Primer Encuentro Latinoamericano de Em­presas Recuperadas realizado en Ve­nezuela el 29 de octubre del 2005. De­cíamos "Ellos cierran y criminalizan a los trabajadores, nosotros abrimos las fabricas, ellos roban las tierras y noso­tros la tomamos. Ellos hacen guerras y destrozan las naciones, nosotros de­fendemos la paz y la integración so­berana de los pueblos. Ellos dividen y nosotros unimos. Porque nosotros somos la clase trabajadora. Porque somos el presente y el futuro de la hu­manidad.

Hoy, más aún que en el 2005, la situación de los pueblos de Latino­américa, nos imprime con más fuerza la necesidad de seguir construyendo y profundizando esa unidad. No es un regalo la coyuntura política actual en nuestro continente. Son años de le­vantamientos, resistencias, proyectos y de mucho trabajo que pusimos los trabajadores para construir esta opor­tunidad histórica.

Nuestro movimiento es anti-impe­rialista, anti-capitalista. Es un grito y un movimiento organizado de la clase trabajadora contra el régimen de pro­piedad privada de los grandes medios de producción que solamente puede sobrevivir haciendo guerra, explotan­do y oprimiendo los pueblos.

Sabemos que como siempre en nuestra América hay matices, y mu­chos gobiernos actuales no son los representantes de nuestros intereses, pero se presenta una coyuntura favo­rable para construir propuestas, deba­tir y poner letra en los temas que nos interesan como trabajadores.

Claro que no será fácil. Miremos en Bolivia como reaccionaron las cla­ses dominantes ante la nacionalización de los recursos, ante el ejercicio de la soberanía. En Venezuela, que con su avance revolucionario en la educa­ción, la salud, el territorio no deja de incomodar a quienes siempre vivieron del pueblo y sus recursos. Y entonces siguen produciendo mentiras a través de sus medios, miedo, hambre. Pero a pesar de eso ni el pueblo venezolano ni el boliviano se equivocaron y reafir­maron a Chávez a Evo. Así como a Correa en Ecuador, y, recientemente, en Paraguay con la elección de Lugo por el pueblo paraguayo.

Llamamos a todas las empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores y a las organizaciones sociales en lucha al "II Encuentro Latinoamericano de Empresas Recuperadas por Trabajadores", encolumnando las lu­chas de nuestro sector con el resto de la clase trabajadora y en apoyo a la lucha por el socialismo que vie­nen realizando el pueblo boliviano y venezolano apoyados por los tra­bajadores de toda América Latina a sumarse a nuestros esfuerzos e re­unimos en 25, 26 y 27 de Junio de 2009, en Caracas, Venezuela.

Viva la lucha de los trabajadores de las empresas recuperadas!

Viva la lucha de la clase trabajadora!

Viva a revolución venezolana!

Viva la revolución boliviana!

Venceremos!

2º Encontro Latino-Americano de Empresas Recuperadas pelos Trabalhadores

Na América Latina a resistência contra a destruição da indústria e em defesa dos empregos assumiu diferentes formas. A crítica e seus questionamentos formam parte da discussão do movimento operário e foram os objetos do debate do 1º Encontro Latino-Americano de Empresas Recuperadas, realizado na Venezuela no dia 29 de outubro de 2005. Dizíamos: “Eles fecham, nós abrimos as fábricas. Eles roubam as terras e nós ocupamos. Eles fazem guerras e destroem nações, nós defendemos a paz e a integração soberana dos povos. Eles dividem e nós unimos. Porque somos a classe trabalhadora. Porque somos o presente e o futuro da humanidade”.

Hoje, mais ainda do que em 2005, a situação dos povos da América Latina nos impõe com mais força a necessidade de seguir construindo e aprofundando essa unidade. Não é nenhum presente a conjuntura política atual em nosso continente. São anos de levantes, resistências, projetos e de muito trabalho por parte dos trabalhadores para construir esta oportunidade histórica.

Nosso movimento é anti-imperialista, anti-capitalista. É um grito e um movimento organizado da classe trabalhadora contra o regime de propriedade privada dos grandes meios de produção, que somente pode sobreviver fazendo guerras, explorando e oprimindo os povos.

Sabemos que sempre existiram matizes na nossa América, e muitos governos atuais não são representantes de nossos interesses, mas se apresenta uma conjuntura favorável para construir propostas, debater e colocar a marca dos trabalhadores nos assuntos que nos dizem respeito.

Claro que não será fácil. Vimos, na Bolívia, como reagiram as classes dominantes ante a nacionalização dos recursos, ante o exercício da soberania. Na Venezuela, que com seu avanço revolucionário na educação, na saúde, no campo, não deixa de incomodar a quem sempre viveu a custa do povo e de seus recursos. E assim, seguem produzindo mentiras através de seus meios, medo, fome. Mas apesar disso nem o povo venezuelano nem o povo boliviano se enganaram, e reelegeram Chávez e Evo. Assim como Correa no Equador, e, recentemente, no Paraguai, com a eleição de Lugo pelo povo.

Convocamos todas as empresas recuperadas por seus trabalhadores e as organizações sociais em luta para o “2º Encontro Latino Americano de Empresas Recuperadas pelos Trabalhadores”, unindo as lutas de nosso setor com o restante da classe trabalhadora e em apoio à luta pelo socialismo que vem sendo realizada pelo povo boliviano e venezuelano apoiados pelos trabalhadores de toda a América Latina.

Convocamos todos a se somarem aos nossos esforços e nos reunirmos nos dias 25, 26 e 27 de Junho de 2009, em Caracas, Venezuela.

Viva a luta dos trabalhadores das empresas recuperadas!
Viva a luta da classe trabalhadora!
Viva a revolução venezuelana!
Viva a revolução boliviana!
Venceremos!

Türkçe

Latin Amerika 2. İşgal Fabrikaları Toplantısı Çağrısı

Latin Amerika’da sanayinin yıkımına karşı direniş ve işlerin savunulması farklı şekiller alıyor.İşçi hareketi tartışmalarının bir kısmını eleştiriler ve şüpheler oluşturuyor ve bunlar 29 Ekim 2005’te Venezüella’da düzenlenen 1. Latin Amerika İşgal Fabrikaları Toplantısı’nın da gündemiydiler.

 Şunu söylüyoruz: “Onlar fabrikaları kapatıyorlar, bizlerse açıyoruz.Onlar toprağı çalıyorlar, bizse işliyoruz.Onlar savaş çıkarıyor ve halkları katlediyorlar; bizlerse barışı ve halkların bağımsız birliğini savunuyoruz.Onlar bölüyorlar, biz birleştiriyoruz.Çünkü biz, işçi sınıfıyız.Çünkü biz, insanlığın bugünü ve geleceğiyiz.”

Bugün Latin Amerika halklarının durumu, 2005’te olduğundan daha fazla, bu birliği inşa etmek ve derinleştirmek gerekliliğinin önemini gösteriyor bize.Kıtamızda halklar arasındaki ilişkilerin mevcut siyasi durumu, henüz bunu karşılamaktan uzak.Bu tarihsel fırsatı inşa etmek üzere işçiler yıllardır direniyor, proje üretiyor ve çalışıyorlar.Hareketimiz antiemperyalist ve antikapitalisttir.Büyük üretim araçları mülkiyeti rejimine karşı, savaşları ve halkların ezilmesini engelleyebilecek tek yol olan, işçi sınıfının çığlığı ve örgütlü bir hareketidir.Biliyoruz ki Amerika’mızda her zaman gölgeler oldu ve mevcut birçok hükümet çıkarlarımızı temsil etmiyor, ancak öneriler geliştirmek, tartışmak ve sorunlara işçi sınıfının çözümünü getirmek için olumlu bir durum söz konusu.Bunun kolay olmadığı açık.

Bolivya’da, kaynakların kamulaştırılmasına ve halk egemenliğin kullanılmasına karşı çıkan hâkim sınıflardan bunu görebiliyoruz.Venezüella’da eğitimde, sağlıkta, tarlada süren devrimci ilerleme, yıllardır halka rağmen ve onun kaynakları pahasına yaşamış olanları rahatsız etmeyi sürdürüyor.Korku ve açlık üzerinden yalanlar üretmeye devam ediyorlar.Tüm bunlara rağmen Venezüella halkı Bolivya halkını aldatmadı ve Chavez’i ve Ebediyeti yeniden seçti.Ekvador’da Correa’da ve yakın zamanda Paraguay’da halk için Lugo’nun seçilmesinde olduğu gibi.

İşçileri tarafından kurtarılan tüm fabrikaları ve sosyal örgütleri “2. Latin Amerika İşgal Fabrikaları Toplantısı” için mücadeleye, işçi sınıfı adına sektörümüzün mücadelesine katılmaya ve tüm Latin Amerika işçileri tarafından desteklenen Bolivya ve Venezüella halkı tarafından gerçekleştirilen sosyalizm için mücadeleye çağırıyoruz.

Çabalarımıza el vermek üzere Venezüella Caracas’ta 25, 26 ve 27 Haziran 2009 tarihinde gerçekleştirilecek toplantıya çağırıyoruz.

Yaşasın işgal fabrikaları işçilerinin mücadelesi!

Yaşasın işçi sınıfı mücadelesi!

Yaşasın Venezüella devrimi!

Yaşasın Bolivya devrimi!

Biz kazanacağız!
