Words by Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar at the beginning of the trial.
July 16, 2023
In the next few days will begin the culminating phase of this long judicial process that has kept us in prison for the last 3 years. This oral trial should not take very long insofar as Francisco assumed responsibility for the actions, politically vindicating each one of the attacks. However, everything indicates that the prosecution will spare no effort and resources to achieve all possible aggravations, making this instance the precise moment in which Power will come down with all its brutality.
These 3 years have meant the strengthening of ties of affinity and solidarity with various anarchist spaces of this territory and other distant ones, as well as being part of the coordination of anarchist and subversive prisoners raising multiple initiatives of struggle together with a clear anti-prison perspective. In short, these years have meant facing life in prison with dignity, never ceasing for a moment to be an active part of the informal anarchist galaxy, constantly trying to break with the exclusive role of “prisoner” to which Power tries to delimit us.
The actions that will be judged are undoubtedly part of the long anarchist tradition of responding to, of avenging, the permanent blows of repressors and the powerful. They constitute a clear attempt to put an end to the impunity of those in authority, demonstrating that it is possible, through informality, to provoke upheavals to the established order and to make vengeance present.
These actions also represent a contribution to the anarchist urban guerrilla that refuses to disappear despite the constant repressive blows.
In this sense, we think that it is essential to emphasize the actions for which we are locked up when carrying out solidarity initiatives, encouraging that such actions be strengthened, multiplied and extended.
We want to send a complicit embrace to all the spaces, environments and individualities that make solidarity a permanent practice that allows us to, among other things, continue to participate actively in the broad anarchist undertaking, and through this to give life to the concrete development of a solidarity with revolutionary character.
A fraternal embrace to our anarchist and subversive brothers imprisoned in the Rancagua Prison with whom we have undoubtedly strengthened ourselves on this path of struggle inside the prison and for whom it is essential to redouble our efforts to achieve their release to the streets.
A special greeting also to our fellow anarchist prisoners of the gendarmerie case, to the anti-speciesist prisoners and to Tomás González.
Solidarity and complicity with those who attack repressors and the powerful!
To grow and multiply the attacks against every expression of domination!
Freedom for anarchist and subversive prisoners!
Long live anarchy!
