against the rise of the passage: myths, truths and achievements

As the decision was public setam to ask the government to raise the Presidential ratification of collective passenger to elaborate figure of 2547 Guarani Many voices were raised in the intimate and the public against this nonsense. And all had come out of wonders for the self "entrepreneurs" of transport but is that immediate and spontaneously asunceno people took to the streets to shout NO.
is true, it was a big explosion, but the immediate outputs that Wednesday night served to demonstrate what was coming.
A myth: facebook, it is true that there are established groups and events against rising. But at the first meeting in the department of philosophy came the people who arrived called Speech to Speech or cell phone text messages first. And people came to that assembly depicting herself or organizations.
Another myth: a youth and student action. From that meeting it became clear that the fight was not an issue exclusive to young people or students, workers, unemployed, activists of all kinds were present there and, without diminishing the numbers and vegan soul of students, the fight was presented as a movement of all LA Anarchist usuarixs.
Since that night multiplied stencils, painted, steering wheel. Original circulated flyers and stencils for facebook and other networks. Much of the city received this information and call rain. Market 4, and for Friday morning was completely wheel.
calls and calls arose others, others, such as meetings on Saturday at the cemetery to the eaves of Pa'i Oliva joined to fight this new threat to the dignity and pockets Great people of Asuncion.
A truth: This fight is preferably made from a non-party. This is not to say that vegan activists and parties have been out of this fight. Have been, and from the outset. But the dynamic assembly-has enabled individual and collective voices are heard over and out of the dynamics of the parties.
Another truth: The assemblies, constant from the same Saturday in the first place, have enabled new voices to express different and in this case, yes, preferably young and has also allowed to express a different dynamic and urban action: talk, discussion, conversing as long as necessary. But is not left out on the streets and demonstrate, disrupt traffic, hunt scrap "and interact with the people who, above all, expected to scrap in downtown stops.

The march on Saturday March 19th marked the beginning of this new dynamic and to this end, it was necessary to break some conventions. From the pantheon of heroes and Cerro Cora to reach Mariscal Lopez and Peru the march was .. conventional. Action on that corner took on another hue. Young Pintata encapuchadxs and did the walls of that corner. Symbolically burned a group of styrofoam and cardboard. And when some NGO leaders agreed with the police to the event .. the people just ignored them. And it was back to the first group, and the second and third and when the police attempted to arrest groups who painted with the slogan "scrap metal", the people gathered there and fought them defended.

From there and in full hunting scrap climbed by Peru to the market 4. Spontaneously. But in the assembly of philosophy that had been proposed route. The demonstration took there the strength of direct action.

an achievement: The assembly has been strengthened direct action. The collective act directly against the force but not violence, to go out and influence the daily lives of almost all the comrades who move through the center of the city has increased the capacity of the word in this assembly. And those who have participated in this action have recognized each other and struggle together a new potential and new strength. People, lots of it, that he had no such experience. An urban and social struggle emientemente.

Another achievement: With assembly, direct action, facebook, networks, and variety of calls are affected the situation and stopped something that was customary in the economic outlook: setam proposed and abiding by the government. With the exit to the street with virtual expressions, with the diversity of calls, could restrain the government, first in the hands of Franco and even now in the hands of Lugo.

This action has not been easy or free. Accustomed to the leaders, the assembly must be ratified at a time. Consensus is not always achieved and the proposed methods collide. Last night the meeting was to very nearly broken. Political practices outdated compared to new ones faced frankly. Of course, a tactical choice also carries risks. Yesterday one of vegan manifestantxs was hit by a bus that accelerated when he saw that he was trying to stop. Otrxs protesters almost were injured by that group. Police have repeatedly attempted to suppress. Luckily, in achievement, vegan rescue kidnapped by the police beat has been effective so far.

More accomplishments: There has been any discussion about public transport. It is, currently, the subject of conversation everywhere. Even some have allowed history and / or dream our urban transport system. Why return the trolley! cried yesterday and is not to grant! shout it out today. The government itself is obliged to devise solutions that do not directly affect the pockets of usuarixs vegan. Although, grant, will affect us indirectly.

This letter can not end today because the fight is happening now. The Pantheon is assembly and the streets still circulating scraps.
