antander,
last Biscay port of the Loyalists, was surrendered on August 26 [1937] by
the Basque general staff without the slighetst attempt to defend it.
Santander fell into the hands of Franco intact, its port and factories ready
for use by the Fascists. The same thing had happened in Reinosa, manufacturing
town and key to Santander’s defenses, a few days earlier. Instead of war to
death against fascism, the Negrin goverment’s appointees miserably capitulated.
Not even the military supllies were destroyed. Even before the fascist troops
arrived in Santander, yesterday’s “loyal republican police”, the National
Republican Guards, as well as armed fascist civilians, were patroling the
streets and disarming Asturian militiamen.
A revealing light is thrown on the
conduct of the Basque Government by a Times dispatch of August 25 [1937]:
“At the time of the fall of Bilbao [Bilbo] the Basques freed all their hostages except
seventeen. Now these are considered to be in the gravest peril as the Basques
admit that it is no longer possible to protect them from extremist elements
(the Asturian miners) in Santander.
“When the British Embassy agreed to take off the
hostages it would also evacuate the Basques who have been guarding them as well
as any remaining members of the Basque Government...
“It is hoped that the whole maneuver will be carried
out before the more violent elements in Santander are aware of what is
happening.”
Play Fascist Game
The next day the British battleship “Keith”,
with Basque and Fascist representatives aboard “rescued” the Basque officials
and the seventeen fascists! Instead of going to the Asturian port, Gijon, to
which the real fighters against fascism were sailing for the last stand against
Franco, the Basque President Aguirre [Agirre], a his cohorts, prefered to leave
Spain, paying for the voyage by releasing seventeen important Fascist
prisoners! Such is the quality of the “antifascism” of the liberal bourgeoisie.
That
the Basque bourgeoisie would not fight to the death against Franco was apparent
as early as September, 1936, when they
abandoned the factories of San Sebastian [Donostia] intact to the enemy. The
same thing has happened in the case of every city in the Biscay provinces.
Rather than conduct an intransigeant struggle involving demolition of bourgeois
factories and buildings, the bourgeoisie preferred to abandon the cities, one
by one. Property was more sacred to them than the struggle against fascism. If
the property were destroyed, it would be irretrievably lost. But if they
surrendered it intact and Franco was victorious, Franco, believing in private
property, would certainly want to conciliate the property-owners when the war
was over, even if they had been on the wrong side for a time..... Apart from
this certain prospect, there may even have been an understanding on this point
with Franco; the absolute uniformity of the Basque policy of
surredering all industrial cities intact has no counterpart in any modern
war, not to speak of civil wars! [...]

[...] the
absolute uniformity of the Basque policy of surredering all industrial cities intact has no
counterpart in any modern war, not to speak of civil wars!
Double
Treachery
The "iron
ring" defending Bilbao had been built months previously under the
direction of an engineer who had shortly escaped to fascist territory. The fascists,
then, had the plans of the fortifications and could skirt and flank them, as
they actually did. But the treachery of the engineer was only made public after
fascists had broken through the fortifications; it was then adduced as the
alibi of Basque goverment. But months had intervened since his flight. Why was
nothing done to construct a new system of fortifications in the interim?
Furthermore, no
offensive was begun on the central front to force Franco to divert troops from
the Basque front. Nor were airplanes sent from Madrid, then quiet, to defend
Bilbao. Why? Had the Negrin goverment information which made it certain that
Bilbao would surrender? Was it, perhaps, a party to the decision? Certainly no
other hypothesis explains the passivity of the Negrin Goverment during the
march on Bilbao during June. The
Stalinist alibi that the Negrin cabinet (established May 27) had not had time to organize a campaign on the
Madrid or Aragon fronts is absurd on the face of it; no military man worth his
salt would deny that three weeks —not to speak of preparations by the Caballero
cabinet in which the Prieto-bourgeois-Stalinist forces had the commanding
voice— was enough to organize a large-scale offensive.
Our suspicions
are completely justified by the manner in which Bilbao
surrendered. No attempt was made to defend the city. Not a single factory or
wharf was damaged by fascist shells before its fall. The Asturian miners
managed to dynamite some of the bridges; but when sought to destroy supplies
which were being left behind, and factories manufacturing war-materials, they
were driven out of the city at gun-point, or, worse, disarmed by National
Republican Guards and Basque soldiers of the regular army and held so that thet
might fall into hands of the fascists! The Guards “maintained order” until
Franco’s forces arrived; patrolled the streets while the fascists troops
marched in; then most of them donned Carlist red berets and went to work for
Franco!
These
unquestioned facts do not come from any private source. Most of them were
reported by regular news-correspondets, including the London Times’ G. L.
Steer, a Loyalist sympathizer. Neither here nor abroad did the Stalinists deny
these facts. They “ingnored” them as did the Negrin goverment. With the result
that the Basque Goverment has consumated its treachery by similarly
surrendering Santander and fleeing the country. This outcome was inevitable: for
the "liberal" bourgeoisie has no basic stake in fighting fascism. As agents and
partners of British and French capital in Spain, the Basque bourgeoisie had no
enthusiasm for joining Franco, with his German and Italian commitments. But
more than they hated Franco, they hated the masses of the UGT and CNT. They
supported Prieto and the Stalinists in reconstructing the bourgeois state, in
depriving the workers of the conquests they had won in crushing the fascists in
the chief cities. But despite all repressions, the bourgeoisie had no
guarantees that a victory over Franco would nor galvanize the working class
into taking complete power. Against this eventuality only Franco could
guarantee them.
Nothing learned
Neither the
treachery of the Basque bougeoisie, nor the continued blockade of Franco and
English imperialism, serve to convince the bourgeois-Prieto-Stalinist bloc that
their course is false. Nothing can convince the Peoples Front coalition of
this. They are determined to win, if at all —and not a few of the goverment leaders
prefer a compromise with Franco to the possible dangers of proletarian power
after victory— on the basis of so thoroughly consolidating a bourgeois regime
that Anglo-French imperialism, reassured, will come to their aid. [...]

Carta desde prisión:
David
Garaboa Bonillo
C.P. Villena, 14 de septiembre de 2014
Queridas compañeras y compañeros
solidarios, os escribo para informaros de que a mi compañera sentimental, la
presa política del PCE(r) Arantza Díaz Villar, ya le están aplicando el
tratamiento de quimioterapia que le indicaron tras operarla del cáncer de
colon.
La semana pasada la llevaron al
hospital para aplicarle el segundo ciclo de quimio (de un total de 8 sesiones
en 6 meses), y de momento está soportando bien los efectos secundarios de la
quimio, aunque obviamente sufre muchas molestias. Sin duda estos 6 meses van a
ser muy duros, pues las condiciones de vida en la cárcel distan mucho de ser
las apropiadas para soportar un tratamiento tan agresivo como éste, ni son las
más adecuadas para curarse de una enfermedad tan grave como el cáncer. A pesar
de ello, quiero destacar que Arantza está afrontando la enfermedad con mucha
fuerza y mucho ánimo. ¡Es una luchadora!
Por su parte, nuestro abogado ya ha
solicitado su inmediata puesta en libertad en virtud del artículo 104.4 del
R.P., que prevé la excarcelación de los presos que padezcan alguna enfermedad
grave e incurable. La Junta de Tratamiento de esta cárcel ha denegado su
liberación, y ahora estamos pendientes del recurso ante el Juzgado de
Vigilancia Penitenciaria. Arantza cuenta con informes médicos favorables a su
excarcelación, no obstante, es una presa política, y en el caso de los presos
políticos poco cuentan las razones médicas frente a las anteriores políticas y
represivas. Hay que librar la batalla jurídica, porque si cumplieran su propia
leGALidad (esa misma leGALidad a la que apelaron en su día para poner en la
calle a responsables del terrorismo de Estado como Rafael Vera o Galindo),
deberían ponerla en libertad hoy mismo. Aunque tenemos claro que no la van a
liberar debido a su condición de presa política comunista.
El Estado fascista español viene
aplicando una política represiva planificada para aniquilar lentamente a las
presas y presos políticos gravemente enfermos, y solo la solidaridad, la
denuncia y la movilización en la calle pueden evitar que logren sus macabros y
criminales objetivos. Por eso me ha reconfortado mucho saber que en la calle se
están llevando a cabo diferentes campañas para reclamar la puesta en libertad
de mis camaradas que padecen alguna enfermedad grave.
Por último, os animo a seguir
levantando con fuerza la bandera de la Amnistía, para que podamos volver cuanto
antes con vosotros, a las filas de la clase obrera. Además, reivindicar la
Amnistía para las presas y presos políticos es denunciar que en España no
existen verdaderas libertades políticas, que no hay democracia, y es decirle a
los fascistas que ellos son los verdaderos terroristas.
Un
fuerte abrazo de Arantza y mío para todas y todos vosotros. ¡Venceremos!
