From the cell I remember the smell of the barricade, the smoking tires, the springs after the mattress was consumed and the neighbors with their contributions to the bonfire. I remember the mask like yesterday, the gloves, the iron in the belly, the clean bullets, the heavy backpacks, the desire to see if one day, a 29th, they’d pay this time and not us. I remember gathering the materials, coordinating with comrades, leaving to the street, the neighbor who told me “take care, son”, or the neighbor who asked me if I was going to hunt ghosts, the whistle of the first shot, I remember the crying eyes after the first teargas, running up to the post, the parapet and the moment. Advancing dressed like the night, good moments, that I hope many can and want to live, because it’s necessary to return the blows, nothing can remain unpunished.

March 29th commemorates Mauricio Maigret, Paulina Aguirre, brothers Eduardo and Rafael Vergara who were heinously assassinated, in memory of their ideas, their consequence, and their valor for, in a context of dictatorship and death, daring to do something in the bloodiest moments of this country. Not letting fear immobilize them, motivated by inequality and love for their peers, neighbors, families and comrades, these desires of justice faced with so much abuse that remains present today as yesterday. As new generations we learn from the history of those who fought before, releasing ourselves from arrogance, we must learn from the successes and errors in order to be more prepared facing the repression of power. On the 29th the street is ours, on the corners of the neighborhoods the stage for combat is set.

Time has passed since I wrote my last communique, concerning my situation as a prisoner as well as expressing my perspective and general reflections that I’ve gained in this process. Summarizing these six months that have passed, since I was detained and put in preventative prison by the state  I can only say that I remain equally convinced by the path that I’ve decided to take, even if I walk it alone or alongside other individuals. I’ve decided that my life will be eternal war, carrying this responsibility to the end of the consequences that it carries with it, always sustaining that ideas without actions that back them up aren’t worth anything.

This said, I was to speak about a point that’s been present with me for a while but which has been defined with clarity after half a year in preventative prison. This is about the supossed individuals who label themselves anarchists and anticarceral. These labels that they’ve decided to put on stagger at the first expression on the part of power or when these positions take an active role in the various situations that come up in this adverse and uncertain path. I can’t avoid pointing out that these “comrades” who consider themselves in solidarity but who, as I mentioned before, when it’s moment to do something concrete that requires leaving their comfort for the cause which they say they’re a part of or for the situation of another  comrade, they vanish.
