Carlos has given us a completely
subjective view of the situation.

Carlos has given us a completely
subjective view of the situation.
1:08:22
He exaggerates the consequences
of the arrests currently being made.
1:08:25
Indeed, he seems to have lost
all political perspective.
1:08:34
What is the situation
that has led to these arrests?
1:08:37
A political offensive
by the working class...
1:08:40
by students and peasants.
1:08:42
A situation where the dictatorship
is desperate and on its last legs.
1:08:47
Even the current arrests reflect...
1:08:49
the regime's fear in the face
of resistance by the masses.
1:08:54
Under these conditions,
they cannot halt...
1:08:55
the movement's advance,
its spread, its progress.
1:09:00
We are on the eve
of a general strike.
1:09:04
That is why we decided
to send Juan to Madrid...
1:09:07
with precise orders
and instructions.
1:09:10
The mass movement must be organized
and given a single goal.
1:09:15
That goal is the general strike.
1:09:18
The requisite conditions exist
and we must act now.
1:09:22
A date had to be set
and we have set it.
1:09:25
The strike is called for April 30th...
1:09:27
with nationwide demonstrations
on May 1st.
1:09:32
Carlos disagrees with the decision
to call a general strike.
1:09:35
He says we must bear in mind
the realities of the situation.
1:09:38
But what does "realities
of the situation" really mean?
1:09:42
That we should allow the political
situation to come to a head on its own?
1:09:45
That's mere opportunism,
pure and simple!
1:09:48
I never said we should just let things
develop spontaneously.
1:09:51
You never said we should just let things
develop spontaneously.
1:09:55
You merely question certain forms
of action under certain conditions.
1:09:59
A general strike is not
the sole form of struggle...
