Let us struggle for bread, work and housing The current period of uncertainty, of long queues in the electoral offices, of long queues to register our children at school, of long queues to buy cheap in the local market, of long queues to take a bus, of long queues to get a decent job, of long queues to be received by the “authorities”, of long queues with our wife and kids to fill up the form for social housing that we may never get, of queuing up to reach Heaven… because there seems to be no other possible way to see our dreams come true, those dreams we had during our battles in the streets and roads, in those long years that we have lived and died. The YES to the new constitution won, as it was expected, but we don’t believe that this last referendum will sort all problems out, like if it was in the ballot box where the answers to our sufferings lay and where the key to our well being is. The YES has to be interpreted as a possibility to keep reflecting, thinking, fighting, hoping… believing… living, so as to create, by our own actions, the life we want to live, the life we have desired so badly those times when we marched down to La Paz, or from San Sebastián, or when we took over the factories and we felt as masters of our own during a strike. |
