Celebrating with Left Independent from San Sebastian of the Kings (Madrid)

The partners of Left Independent from San Sebastian of the Kings (Madrid) had the amiability to invite me to the act of celebration of 10 years of this political party. I had liked going but I could not help last Saturday because of "force majeure". I want to send my congratulations from Nonentities to the partners of Independent Left and my congratulations for having filled the assembly room of the young center of my city (Sanse) at once politically for his X anniversary. Clicking in the image you will see a presentation with some photos of the above mentioned act:

and here the linkage to the video X anniversary of Independent Left that they have done and that seems very interesting to me.
To continue...

10 years ago...
... I was already serving in the assembly of IU of Hortaleza (Madrid) and I can remember all the "damages" that we had in that time. An implosion of the organization motivated by many factors but in which to my judgment, the Democratic Party of the New one Left and Initiatory per Catalunya they had a lot to do. There were hard times in which there were accused in the assemblies the partners of PDNI of "submarines of the Spanish socialist party". I remember my resistance and incredulity before such accusations, and memory like those accusations they became true finally when the PDNI went out of IU doing an enormous political damage and mediático. ICV "got divorced" of IU, there was born Alternative Esquerra Unida i (EUiA) as modality of IU in Catalonia. Also there lost part of the organization in Gallicia, Castile The Spot, Extremadura, Andalusia. . In my opinion, all that obeyed a strategy of the Spanish socialist party directed to deactivate a political force that in that moment, was constituting a small but real threat to the hegemony of the Spanish socialist party in the Spanish electoral left. We were worrying and it was necessary to stop us. Since it always happens in this type of self-destructive dynamics, the political damages were very superior to the mere inventory of lost militants: big political damages and mediáticos for a very small number of militants who left.
One of the numerous "local fronts" of that "war" was San Sebastian of the Kings, where the mayor of that time of IU Angel Requena supported the PDNI and later it created the party 'Independent Left' leaving of IU. I was not in San Sebastian of the Kings then, neither I have any concrete memory of that one, but I am sure that in that moment I should have thought that "Angel Requena and the rest of partners of IU who left were something similar to a few traitors".
We are in 2009...
... and the political forces to the left of the Spanish socialist party we are in the hours very low in all the ambiences. The question has now another approach, and probably in the past things were done badly from one and another side. Today IU collaborates again with ICV in Catalonia, in Spain and in Europe (not without any friction). Today some partners ex-PDNI are again in IU. Today IU is in a process of Refoundation that wants to re-constitute a political force to my essential judgment in Spain. To my today me there is not doubt that the partners of Left Independent from Sanse are indispensable for this city and that Izquierda Unida of Sanse has to work very closely, more that it could, with Independent Left. I to today cannot see to Independent Left any more than like what they are: my partners with whom I would like going of the hand to achieve that the left governs again in my city in 2011. The rest remains me. A hug and forward with the work partners of Independent Left.
