(Chile) Brotherly words from prison, before the trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernández

Words by Francisco Solar

To greet comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernandez in this difficult stage of the trial against them is, once again, to validate the insurrectional action. It is to support and understand the necessity of the forceful action for which Aldo is accused. An action that, by the way, shook the daily life inside this prison. An action that, like few others, made solidarity be felt in all its breadth.

The judicial spectacle is prepared, the anti-anarchist Prosecutor already has all his cards ready to return to condemn anarchists of action to harsh sentences, however, in the face of this adverse panorama, they will find themselves with dignified and whole comrades assumed in a life of combat as they have well demonstrated during these years of confinement. Aldo’s situation has been complicated by being classified and locked up, these last months, in a maximum security module where it is not clear when he will be able to get out.

All the strength for Aldo and Lucas with the certainty that no sentence is eternal and knowing that every action is worth it.

Aldo and Lucas to the streets!

Let the prisons explode!

Words by Joaquín García

Before the beginning of the trial against comrades Aldo and Lucas;

In the next few days a new theater of Power will begin: two comrades will begin the final stage of the judicial inquisition, the last media feast; after this, nothing is public….

I know, it is clear to me, that they will face this stage with all the solidity that characterizes them, firm in their convictions, as they have shown in and out of jail, in word and action.

In times when news, ideas and initiatives seem to have a superfluous, instantaneous and innocuous character, you have given a lesson of fortitude and antagonistic solidarity, you are and have been truly comrades to count on, who could doubt your commitment? How many others have put their will at the disposal of solidarity? Or of vengeance?

They are exceptional compañeros! And that is a treasure that will always accompany them.

15 years after the death of Mauricio Morales, it is always necessary to remember.

15 years ago, the media of the powerful were feasting on the news… the one that spoke of the death of a young man who was about to place an explosive device in the Gendarmerie School. This young man was one of the suspected anarchists that the police already had among those possibly responsible for the approximately 200 bombs that had been placed in the city of Santiago in recent years. That young anarchist was Mauricio Morales.

With the identification of one of the explosive planters, the lines of investigation of the police and prosecutors were reduced, and in turn the urgency to go hunting for seditious criminals grew. It did not take long after the death of Mauri for the Chilean state to let fall all its power and bring the first anarchists before a court, a matter that had not happened since about 1920.

So it was that 14 years ago I first set foot in the prison where I am currently held.

It can probably seem annoying and even unnecessary for some people who still exist to commemorate the death of a comrade who fell in action. But what would have happened if Mauri’s death had not been commemorated in these 15 years? Most likely, May 22 would be an important date only for those of us who knew and loved Mauri. In this way, your memory, your ideas and most importantly… Your practices would not have transcended.

Today, May 22, I remember and commemorate Mauricio Morales because doing so is part of my own history. Because I loved him and above all I do and will continue to do so because he was a like-minded comrade who until his last breath tried to put into practice his ideas that are also mine.

15 years ago, today and tomorrow. Long live anarchy.

¡Mauricio Morales pte.!

Words by Marcelo Villarroel for the Memory and Counterculture day

15 years after the death of Punki Mauri, an eternal call for offensive resistance with fist raised from confinement, maintaining the memory of the insurrection, as a living manifestation of an anti-authoritarian struggle that is neither extinguished nor stopped by the state, the prison and the capital.

The daily combat inside the prisons manifests itself in millimetres. Breaking apathy and silence, contributing to the transmission of experiences and stories so that our experiences are not submerged in oblivion and are also a real learning tool for all those who are exposed to confinement as a result of a life choice in struggle. It is about making a concrete contribution in all possible and imaginable initiatives that maintain the link between prisoners and active comrades in the street.

Along these lines, Mauricio Morales maintained a permanent exchange of ideas and actions, as prisoners and with those who had gone through confinement, thus evidencing a freely assumed commitment of active solidarity and insurrectionary complicity for the destruction of prison society, inherent in his anarchist position of offensive against domination.

Fifteen years ago, in this territory, the attacks sustained to the social peace of the rich also expressed a solid disposition of combat of different anti-authoritarian, subversive and anarchist tendencies. It is in this context that Punki Mauri took his flight to some place in the universe and the stars to continue pushing the combat from there, helping his brothers in struggle scattered around the world and thus renouncing us that he has never left the side of those who do not give up, for convenience or accomodations, to the inescapable path of the conflict.

Nothing is over, everything continues!!

Memory, Resistance, Subversion!!

Punk Mauri you live in the social/anti-social war!!

Until the last bastion of prison society is destroyed!!

As long as there is misery there will be rebellion!!
