AUCPB-CLASS STRUGGLE June 21

ANOTHER UNLIMITED PROTEST MARCH HELD ON JUNE 12 IN NOVOSIBIRSK
14.06.2011 13:52
June 12 in Novosibirsk, another pensioners’ protest took place against the decision of the Governor Yurchenko to abolish unlimited free travel for pensioners on public transport.

We recall that the organizers of these actions had decided to hold them in the summer season once a month – on the 12th of each month.

This time there were about 200 people. Firstly a meeting was held at the residence of the governor, and then march on the sidewalk of Krasny Prospect, then a rally at Lenin Square. Participants of the rally - pensioners expressed their determination to fight to the end and again take to the streets in thousands, if the governor does not cancel his decision.
Participants of the rally expressed their attitude to the bogus "holiday" June 12 " Russia’s Day” of, branding it as a day of tragedy and betrayal when, in 1990 the Declaration of Independence of Russia was adopted (in reality - complete dependence on the U.S.) and began to liquidate the Soviet Union.

The rally and march were once again unsanctioned by the authorities, although the organizers are not obliged by law to seek their permission.

On Lenin Square, official authorities had organized a "holiday" concert. When the column of protesters approached Lenin Square and began to hold a rally at the monument to Lenin, from the "concert" stage, was enclosed in a hurry from the statue of Lenin by a metal armature (which hosted the meeting), a deafening rumble was heard with bad taste in the guise of "folk music" in order not to give the pensioners their rally.

People's attitude towards this pseudo folk music and the "holiday" itself could be judged by the number of the 50 or so onlookers gathered at the concert, mostly vacationers, not taking any part in it.

The protesters themselves expressed their attitude to the official "holiday" with anti-United Russia Party chants and slogans along with the singing of Soviet songs - "Arise, great country, arise to the fight to the death!"

The next event is on July 12, then on August 12, same time, same place - at 12.00 am at the residence of the governor.
People are demanding:
- Cancel the unconstitutional decision of the Governor,
- Adopt a regional law guaranteeing the rights of pensioners and people on benefits, to include the right to unlimited travel.

The struggle continues! Down with the power of the bourgeoisie!

The protest action was a necessary measure after it developed as a result of negotiations between the representatives of trade unions and enterprise management over debt repayment schedule of wages broke down.

It was a noisy protest, and people's emotions can be understood. The company's management refused to come out to talk to the people, despite persistent appeals.
