Active Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito from Joaquín García
Without needing to idealize him, it is inevitable to feel a deep admiration and respect for Alfredo Cospito, who has been able to sustain an extensive hunger strike, using his body as a battlefield, and an unwavering decision in his struggle to end his isolation in the nefarious 41 bis regime in which he has been for many months. For many people, it can be difficult to have a concrete notion of what this means, I think that perhaps our individual experiences bring us a little closer to such a crude reality.
Even so, it is impossible to feel what those who throw themselves into this battle feel, the physical and mental exhaustion, the sleepless nights, every gesture costing the greatest effort. We are left with the anguish, the nausea, and the eternal frustration of feeling that we still have to do a lot to balance the scales on which our defeats and victories are measured, if only a little.
Anarchist, nihilistic, informal and international solidarity with Alfredo!
Let the cry of his body at war resound in every action!
