ReMine, El Último Movimiento Obrero
ReMine, the Last Working Class Movement
Was wäre, wenn die Arbeiterbewegung der industriellen Revolution aufgeweckt
würde, um gegen die heutige Wirtschaftskrise anzukämpfen? In Spanien legen 4.000 Minenarbeiter ihre Arbeit auf unbestimmte
Zeit nieder, um so gegen die von der spanischen Regierung exekutierten Budgetkürzungen zu streiken. Die Regierung ignoriert
Straßenblockaden, Demonstrationen und Sitzstreiks – ja selbst die Arbeiter, die fünfhundert Kilometer gen Madrid ziehen. Doch
nichts ist mehr, wie es einmal war: nicht einmal die Repräsentantinnen und Repräsentanten der Arbeiterbewegung selbst …
What if the labor movement emerged during the industrial revolution was still alive and awakened to fight the worst economic
crisis? 4.000 miners go on an indefinite strike against the historic cuts imposed by Spanish government. Protest to call the
government's attention begin: dozens of roadblocks, stay-downs, pitched battles in pit villages, rallies, demonstrations,
“The Black March on Madrid” (five hundred kilometers). Protests are ignored by the government but attract the support of the
“Women of the Coal”, neighbors, and millions of workers in Spain, fuelling class mobilizations in a country battered and worn
down by policies of public austerity. But nothing is as before, not even the representatives of the last working class movement.
