The miners of Peru and other progressive forces have informed us about the interference in the internal affairs of Peru by the German Friedrich Naumann Foundation. The miners and progressive forces protest against this political interference and complicity and demand expulsion from Peru. The Friedrich Naumann Foundation held an event in Peru with reactionary oppositional and right-wing forces to discuss a strategy of impeachment of Peru's democratically elected president Pedro Castillo.

dear friends, I am Andreas Tadysiak, a former miner who worked underground in the German coal industry for 35 years and the elected main coordinator of the International Miners' Coordination. We can learn a lot from each other's and your experiences. Your struggle has shown once again how important militant and class-struggling trade unions are.

I would like to express my sorrow and sympathy for the death of the three miners and the injured miners from the mining accident on 28.11.2021. I sincerely wish that they will quickly recover completely. My name is Andreas Tadysiak and I worked underground in a German coal mine for almost 35 years. I am dismayed that such an accident with such consequences has happened at this time with the technical possibilities and the experience in mining.

I wish all miners and their families and friends around the world a Merry Christmas,

You have all my solidarity in your underground strike and your blockades to enforce your interests. I hereby also protest against the actions of the mine operators in the Almansnaya mine, who did not keep their promise to pay the outstanding wages after the end of your strike. Their promise was dishonest as it was immediately and directly broken! I myself worked 35 years underground in the German hard coal mining industry and I can understand your situation.

The International Coordination of Mine Workers strongly protests against any restrictions on the right of the union and its members to strike. We also protest against the repression of the strikers - be it by the court, police violence or the mine contractor. The district court's decision stands against the miners' democratic rights and protects those who deny the workers their rightful claims.

The International Coordination of Mineworkers hereby protests against the massive repression of the peaceful protest of the miners of Kozani through violence, beatings and chemicals. The area where Prime Minister Mitsotakis met with representatives of the mines was cordoned off like a G7 meeting, 5 km around the meeting place everything was surrounded by police and the miners were attacked with violence, police batons and chemicals.

To the protesting and striking miners As a former miner in the German coal industry and as the main coordinator of the International Miners' Coordination, you have my support and solidarity. The experience in Germany with the closure of the German coal industry has shown that waiting for negotiations has mostly brought nothing. Experience has shown that it is never too late to fight! Only those who fight can lose, but they can also win!
