Campaign Statement before the new announcement of sending more troops to Afghanistan

We think it entirely unacceptable that the English State further increase their participation in the occupation and the war in Afghanistan. We demand the complete withdrawal of troops, and that the money currently being devoted to war are diverted to social ends.

not being rebuilt Afghanistan, investments end up in the hands of multinationals or the corrupt local leaders, imposed by the occupation. Democracy in the country is a farce, the recent elections were universally recognized as fraudulent, but continues as President Karzai. Has not been released to Afghan women, Karzai has even passed a law by which men can rape their wives, some of which have less than 10 years. So is Afghanistan after 8 years of occupation. The military presence will only bring more suffering and deaths, both among the Afghan population and among the occupying troops.

To make matters worse, the current strategy of U.S. and NATO is expanding the war, increasingly, into Pakistan. This implies a serious risk of destabilizing a country that, with the support of Western powers, has nuclear weapons.

For all this, we find it unacceptable that the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero wants to maintain and increase their participation in this war. In 2003, Zapatero said, against Aznar supported the war in Iraq, that " views of citizens in a democracy, can not be marginalized "(El País, 17/02/2003). Repeated surveys have shown that the vast majority of the population of the English State rejects sending more troops to Afghanistan. According to recent data, the Elcano Royal Institute Barometer November 2009, only 5% of the people support this measure (it is clear that the expensive advertising campaigns of the Ministry of Defense last fall have not had much effect.) 41% requires complete withdrawal and a 14% partial withdrawal of troops.

serves not argue that the war in Afghanistan, unlike Iraq, is justified by the UN backing to it. The leaders of the U.S. and Britain, the UN voted in favor of their own war, they also act against the opinion of their own populations.

We urge the government to cancel the sending of troops and to start the withdrawal of troops currently engaged in the war in Afghanistan. Until they do, the demonstrations will continue, and will increase.
