One more year the CGT opens its Libertarian Summer School, a space for meeting and debate, for learning and recreation, in which we can all contribute our experiences and knowledge to enrich each other.
This year we will meet again in Ruesta under the motto «All borders: Migrant workers
This year the Libertarian School will debate the current society in which we live with a high tolerance for discrimination and non-compliance with Human Rights towards migrants, especially non-European ones.
In the year that commemorates the first anniversary of the inhuman Melilla massacre, in which we have also learned that people who try to leave in boats are shot from the coasts of Morocco and the Sahara within this savage necropolitics of government cooperation. of these our territories with those countries, we will learn about the experience of those who try to enter Europe without papers, and without recognition, many times, of their right to asylum.
In the year when Regularization Now has managed to deliver more than 700,000 signatures to obtain papers for the more than 500,000 workers who carry out their jobs irregularly in our territories, and “without papers” means “without rights”, we will know those other borders that those who arrive here cross. : health, education, housing, registration, work, language, obtaining documents. How do they organize themselves to survive?
Does getting papers eliminate these boundaries? Many of them don’t. We know that migrants “with papers” earn up to 30% less than natives. We still have the borders of racism and xenophobia, labor exploitation, harassment, bullying, etc., aggravated when you are a woman or/and a sex-gender dissident. They will tell us their experiences.
The CGT is committed to the feminist and anarcho-syndicalist principles of intersectional equality where no one is left behind. Without a doubt, our fellow migrants are among the most precarious groups, even expelled from the enjoyment of fundamental rights if they have not been able to obtain papers. This is very serious. CGT has participated in the collection of signatures of Regularization now, and we defend the right of every person to free movement on the planet and that no human being is illegal. But, What else do or can we do from the CGT? How could we organize to put an end to so much injustice, to the suffering of seeing another human being treated as if they were not? We will discuss it at our closing assembly.

Ruesta is a town transferred in 1988 to the CGT by the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation. It is located next to the Yesa reservoir. The Camino de Santiago (ancient Romanesque route) passes through there. By car, you can get there from Chaca/Jaca, Iruña/Pamplona or Sos del Rey Católico. Public transport is scarce: a Jaca-Iruña line leaves you about 12 km from Ruesta (we can organize your pick-up).
Accommodation and meals will be in the Hostel, with a dining room and living spaces. There are 61 hostel places available and 20 on mats that will be used if all the hostel places in the La Cultura house are occupied. There are all kinds of options and with time we can adapt. Reservations will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.
These are the prices for room and board for the libertarian school:
