MANIFESTO THE
PLATFORM "no to imperialist war" MADRID
In response to military aggression against Libya by several northwestern states, including English, formally under resolution 1973 Security Council UN authorizes use of force "to protect civilian populations" by creating a "space-flight, consider it urgent to point out:
1 .- The military intervention that is taking place in Libya, consisting of the bombing run by the U.S., France, Britain and other NATO countries, constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and an act of imperialist war which deserves the absolute rejection by the people of the world and the realization of all potential mobilizations to stop this new war. The direct involvement of NATO, which in these days and has taken command of operations, far from alleviating the severity of the attack, increases the more perverse side effects, as is seeing at the moment and it has been demonstrated in the war Kosovo in Iraq and Afghanistan recently.
2 .- The attack on Libya serves a dual purpose: first, the plundering of their natural resources, especially oil and gas, and secondly, the control direct political processes underway in both North Africa (Tunisia, Egypt, Libya ...) and in the Persian Gulf oil kingdoms, privileged allies U.S., EU and Israel, so that both sides are subjected to Western interests and designs. Bahrain's occupation troops from Saudi Arabia, at the request of its government, with U.S. acquiescence and without any country except Iran, has expressed rejection of any, is sufficiently significant.
3 .- Even now, with the same cynicism that in previous wars, we use from the mainstream media, the discourse of "human rights." But anyone with a minimum level of information may already believe that in many cases governments have led to massacres of millions of people and deposed rulers who did not meekly bowing to the interests of its multinationals. The terrible suffering that are causing in Iraq and Afghanistan - in the name of the burka or weapons of mass destruction - We must remember that whenever you speak of "humanitarian intervention" are preparing a massive theft "at gunpoint."
4 .- The development of the attacks on Libya is highlighting, as so often, that this war can not be legal, because although granted some legitimacy to the UN, "manipulated by a few countries, is not respecting the resolution 1973, which only authorized to intervene "to protect civilian populations." And, as in many other cases, the opposite is happening. Much less is a just war because their goals are not humanitarian, has been unleashed without attempting to advance a peaceful resolution of the alleged conflict, and, evidently, will cause far more damage than intended to avoid. This war is not fair or legal.
5 .- The Zapatero government, which participates in this aggression, to send ships, planes and soldiers, should be considered an accomplice to a war crime, and responsible for the victims who are producing result of the bombing. Now, Zapatero's government has extended its participation for two months in this criminal war for the sole vote against Gaspar Llamazares. The English military participation, accountability PSOE government and the parliamentary groups that have supported, is the nth sample of the English subjugation of a Euro-American imperialism and the private interests of English majors and REPSOL, SACIR, ABENGOA, NATURAL GAS ... etc.
6 .- At times, when millions of workers and workers experiencing dramatic situations of survival, are cut everywhere, and welfare rights, employment is destroyed day by day, increased unemployment and denied a future hope of so many young people, the financial outlay of a new war is even more intolerable. According to conservative estimates the cost of this war will reach 43 million Euros. It is possible that in a situation in which the government says the state is in a serious serious trouble, in which increasing numbers of teachers are missing and no competitions are held to fill vacancies in schools, in which school infrastructure deteriorate without any remedy. While the government tells us there is no money in the coffers of the state and that's why they have to privatize the public health, to cut unemployment benefits and pensions, increase military spending and wasting millions of Euros to fight an unjust war to dominate and control further north Africa and exploit its natural resources. Today more than ever, you need to shout loudly: Not one euro for war! Military spending for social rights!
7 º. - On the other hand, we denounce the manipulation and misinformation that is being carried out from the media of the English State, silencing the killings of civilians by NATO bombing, clearly taking sides with one side conflict, hiding their crimes against the civilian population, presenting them as "freedom fighters", without imposing a contrast upon the information received. Particularly to prevent the formation of a broad movement against imperialist war and for self-determination of peoples, promoting instead the values \u200b\u200bof imperialism and capitalist globalization.
Therefore, requires the Government for the immediate withdrawal of troops and military equipment sent; affirm as essential democratic value of peace, and called on all citizens to strengthen the anti-war movement and public denunciation of this new imperialist aggression, shouting
NO A LA GUERRA Imperialist!
PERÓLEO NO MORE BLOOD!
BY THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE!
IMMEDIATE RETURN OF SPANISH TROOPS!
NATO NO, NOT BASES!
