GALIZA: Report on the November 24 campaign (CGAGPI (Galician Committee of Support to the People's War in India)

The information we are receiving indicates that the International Day of Support for the People's War in India on November 24 was a great success of proletarian internationalism and a great advance in the propagation of this heroic mass war and its party, the CPI (Maoist) in India.

From Italy to Tunisia, from Ecuador to Canada, from the United States to Germany, from Brazil to Denmark, from Colombia to Norway, from Spain to Switzerland, from Ireland to Mexico, from the Philippines to Afghanistan, from Turkey to France and Austria, thousands of posters, banners, graffiti and other acts of propaganda have shown the sympathy and support of the masses all over the world for the revolutionary people's war in India.

In Galicia, our committee launched an intense campaign calling on other political and social forces to support the campaign, but incomprehensibly only the comrades of Red Galicia took a public position in favour of the 24 November.

With our forces, we carried out an extensive graffiti campaign and put-up posters in the towns of Vigo, A Coruña, Ourense, Compostela and Lugo, as well as propaganda events at the Congress of the CIG-SERVICES union and the pro-independence mobilisation in Lugo of the "Estreleira Project". The campaign culminated on 24 November with a Modi doll hanging from a bridge in Vigo. This campaign in Galicia allowed us to open support for the People's War in India to other sectors and to receive more support and even the possibility of holding conferences in various social centres.

But, of course, it was not all support. We did not expect it from revisionists and reactionaries, but we did expect a different attitude from some ML organisations, from progressive sectors and even from some Maoist organisations. There are inexplicable and inexcusable silences, incompatible with proletarian internationalism.

We must not forget that the triumph or defeat of the People's War in India is our triumph or defeat.

We also want to be self-critical and given that, although the campaign was successful in terms of propaganda and agitation, we were not able to hit the fascist and genocidal Modi government hard, except for the action at the embassy in Milan where the officials got nervous and tried to stop the protests.

For future days of support, we must be more forceful in our actions and have more impact. We call for the formation of Support Committees in all parts of the world and to prepare future action’s days with more strength and forcefulness. We have to be, we must be a real front of the People's War abroad.

Long Live the People's War in India!

Long Live Proletarian Internationalism!
