25 years for an organization is not too much. United Left is a young organization and has yet to give the best ... but if you look the way they looked Gerardo and Julio Iglesias Anguita at that time we realize that 25 years, our life, do not go in vain. This is also the value of belonging to an organization based on shared ideals enough: that despite the many times when we are wrong in some way or another, and in many others in the personnel it has a prefix to the collective , every wrinkle and every gray hair appeared in these 25 years would reaffirm the need for an organization that maintains the left, claimed and continue the red thread of history without which the citizens and workers struggles may seem mere accidents protest, outside the grand narrative of emancipation.
Given the unprecedented offensive capital that has accompanied this latest crisis is defending citizens, organizing and autoconvocados, a thousand and one ways. Has been outgrown the scope of organizations that until now has been largely occupied the stage of the claim and there are new initiatives and proposals. In a sense, that is tambiénDempeus per Public Health Service, an organization to which I am especially proud to belong. But any activity can be exclusionary, and men and women of the United Left are also present in everything that is built from the rights and lefts, providing their own arguments and experience. Paraphrasing licensed Karl Marx Engels yFriedrich could say that people only differ Izquierda Unida - if any - of other people who are moving and fighting for their dedication and perseverance, and because "always kept the interests of the movement in a whole. " May be appropriate in this regard to remember why - beyond the contingency election - was created Izquierda Unida.
According to remind us at this website of the Communist Youth of El Ejido their aim was "to provide citizens with an alternative of freedom, justice, progress, efficiency and welfare", to "the centrist attitude of the PSOE government in economic and rightward in all matters relating to politics foreign and defense ", and its founding commitments was the" departure from Spain of NATO "," full demilitarization of the security forces and state security bodies, "peaceful cooperation with all peoples of the earth and solidarity with the Third World (...) also called for "maintaining guaranteed pensions" and advocated a "politics of conservation and environmental improvement to stop worrying ecological degradation in many areas of Spain."
I think the founding program remains very topical ... and I am pleased that over time those sepia photos of the day, so full of men (and only men), displayed on the other, and so obviously, the expiration of a machismo that raged transmitting the left and other values \u200b\u200bnot positive, that should be banished for ever (although it costs do it and recognize it ... go if it costs!). But the truth is queIzquierda United in the last 25 years has managed to incorporate feminist values, as has struggled to defend fundamental social principles.
If anything the English Parliament I felt especially proud in these last two years has been the defense that Gaspar Llamazares has made public health. In the presentation of the book "The Left towards privatization of health "Llamazares complained how difficult it was, with the few parliamentary forces, able to cope on all fronts (and referred only to health ...!). As of tod @ s WE ARE s (and therefore also of the United Left) depends on things start to change ...
Congratulations then to the United Left in its 25 years. From Esquerra Unida i Alternativa Izquierda Unida claim me (and I will not tell now orange segments and in another context could explain Gregorio López Raimundo) but good, here goes.
An important task now is also to courageously recognize the plurality of the left in the United Left and beyond, and manage to reach this turning point in democracy in the corner that starts this bipartisanship impoverishing outdated and above all, as a faithful servant of the interests of Wall Street and lobbyists in Brussels .... It's time to show that there is another way of understanding politics, economics, social relations between people and the planet ... and there is another way of being in the world better, much better, with life and work for the homeless in the markets, with less social inequality and a more fraternal coexistence.
And for people who are this weekend in Madrid, a sample of what I say may already have the next Saturday in the Plaza de las Vistillas:
