Words of Mónica and Francisco in View of the Upcoming Trial
Justice is already fine-tuning all the details for his big party, he will choose his best outfit and meticulously sharpen his sword. Nothing can go wrong at the moment when he shows himself for what he is: the executioner of the powerful.
The sword of justice has been kept in storage waiting for the key moment to strike the right blow to our bodies. That moment translated into punitive punishment will find its climax in the oral trial, which is already set for May 19. This trial is expected to be a long process of several months.
During the month of March we were preparing for the oral trial – an instance prior to the trial – where the court, which until now had conducted our criminal proceedings, decided on the basis of what will be our next trial.
Basically, in the trial, the entire the legal process through which we were convicted for the placement of an explosive device in the Basilica del Pilar in Zaragoza will be used against us, as well as practically all the documented evidence of the prosecution, ranging from pamphlets to anarchist books found in our homes.
The recycling of the already closed case in Spain is part of the stubborn insistence of the prosecutor to validate all the antecedents that position us as repeat offenders of the same crimes.
We are approaching difficult days and the outlook ahead is complex. We will once again be sitting on the bench of the accused for the actions we are being charged for and for the propagation of the ideas and practices that are antagonistic to domination that we have always upheld, no matter how many years we risk being sentenced to.We have waited for this moment for almost 3 years, in which we have constantly tried to be coherent with our ideas and to establish the necessary harmony with like-minded environments of comrades in the street, avoiding falling into the recurring welfarism and giving way to a genuine revolutionary solidarity.
We are proud of the road we have chosen and traveled, without leaving aside the indispensable self-criticism that allows us to grow. May our mistakes serve others who are passionate and love the beautiful moments of confrontation against Power, which are where we feel most alive.
These are moments of life that the Italian State intends to take away from the anarchist comrade Alfredo Cóspito, condemning him to a gradual and brutal death. May the determination and will of the comrade be a nightmare for the powerful wherever they are.
Anarchist and subversive prisoners to the streets!
Long live anarchy!
