We are very pleased to be able to congratulate you on the realisation of your First Congress as a specific anarchist political organisation. In light of the disbanding of the Federación Anarco-Comunista Argentina we believe that this is a very important step both for our shared especifista tendency as well as for the development of anarchism in general, both in Argentina and the region.

Dear comrades of Columna Libertaria Joaquín Penina,

We are very pleased to be able to congratulate you on the realisation of your First Congress as a specific anarchist political organisation. In light of the disbanding of the Federación Anarco-Comunista Argentina we believe that this is a very important step both for our shared especifista tendency as well as for the development of anarchism in general, both in Argentina and the region.

We wish you a productive and fruitful congress and hope that the discussions and debates will serve both to reaffirm your commitment to this lifelong struggle as well as to deepen your political analysis of and strategic orientation towards the conditions and struggles of the popular classes in Argentina – such that you can more effectively undertake meaningful action to increase the influence and resonance of anarchist ideas and practice.

We are aware of the work you do in the Federación de Organizaciones de Base (FOB) and the important part your small group of militants has played in building this libertarian alternative based on the same principles of direct action, direct democracy, self-management, autonomy and federalism that have inspired and oriented mass revolutionary working class movements, uprisings and revolutions globally at different points in time.

In the current context of crisis, repression and the crimilisation of protest and increased attacks on the working class, its rights and conditions the FOB stands out as a beacon of hope. We commend you on the tireless contributions and sacrifices comrades of Columna Libertaria Joaquín Penina have no doubt made in building this libertarian alternative, and assure you that your tireless militancy and hard work is not in vain; nourished by your hard work, sweat and selfless commitment the seeds of a new world are beginning to germinate. We are with you, marching shoulder-to-shoulder towards this new world and look forward to increased cooperation and building of relations between Columna LIbertaria Joaquín Penina and Anarkismo after your congress.

We wish you every success for the First Congress of Columna Libertaria Joaquín Penina and hope that this will be but many stepping stones towards our goal of libertarian socialism and social revolution, now still on the horizon.
