El Salvador. Commemoration of 55th Anniversary of the Popular Liberation Forces (FPL)

EL SALVADOR: IN “RADIOLA”, ON THE BANKS OF THE QUEZALAPA RIVER, A GUERRILLA ZONE DURING OUR UNFINISHED REVOLUTION IN THE EIGHTIES OF THE LAST CENTURY, WE CELEBRATED THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FARABUNDO MARTÍ FPL POPULAR LIBERATION FORCES.

And we celebrate it as the heroines and heroes of the twelve years of our armed popular uprising against the landlords and oligarchs in the service of the Yankee Empire deserve:

Remembering so many heroic gestures of peasants, workers, students and people in general, whose revolutionary thrust for the construction of an El Salvador and a world of socialist brotherhood and fraternity was unstoppable,…… until in the nineties the disastrous turn of the world situation led our leadership to sign some illusory “Peace Agreement” at the price of the dismantling and disarmament of the strongest guerrilla army on the Latin American continent.

And we express our internationalist solidarity with the peoples in resistance against the criminal imperialist aggression, with the peoples of Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Iran and so many peoples of Africa.

We express our solidarity with the heroic Cuban people in resistance against the criminal Yankee blockade against the socialist island.

We combatively reject the attempt of the current dictatorial and fascist regime of the Bukele Clan to reintroduce Metal Mining in El Salvador and we demand the immediate release of Venezuelan migrants captured without having committed crimes and without trials in the United States, mistreated and imprisoned in the scandalous and inhumane CECOT Anti-Terrorist Prison in El Salvador.

During our commemoration and revolutionary gathering we were able to read the letter sent to us by the Palestinian Union of Latin America UPAL on the current situation in their Palestinian Homeland:

UPAL Strongly Rejects President Donald Trump’s Proposal on the Gaza Strip.

“We, members of the Union of Palestinians in Latin America, originally from Palestine and Gaza, express our absolute rejection of the statements of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, in which he proposes that the United States “possess” the Gaza Strip, demolish it and rebuild it as the so-called “Riviera of the Middle East”, destined to be inhabited by “people from other countries of the world”.

Gaza is not for sale. We are not a wasteland or an investment project to satisfy colonial ambitions disguised as progress. This land is home to generations of Palestinians who have lived, resisted and dreamed here long before these words were spoken. Our history, our culture and our dignity cannot be demolished or replaced by luxury buildings or visions alien to our reality.

We firmly reject the idea that a foreign power can “own” Gaza. No one has the right to decide on our destiny except ourselves. Gaza does not need to be destroyed to be reborn; it needs an end to the siege, to the occupation, and for our fundamental rights to be respected: the right to live in freedom, peace and justice.

Our people have endured years of blockade, bombings and deprivation. What we need are not empty promises of reconstruction under imposed conditions, but an end to oppression, the recognition of our sovereignty and the restoration of our dignity.

Gaza is Palestine. Gaza is us: its inhabitants, its living history, its children, its elderly, its fertile land, its streets full of memory and resistance. No plan that ignores our humanity will have a place here.”

ONLY THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD UNITED WILL BE ABLE TO DEFEAT THE NAZI-FASCIST AGGRESSION OF THE EMPIRES AND BUILD A WORLD OF FRATERNITY AND SOLIDARITY AMONG THE POOR AND AMONG THE PEOPLES!
