Dinner afterwards. Last week Paco Ruíz offered us an academic talk with a historical focus on how CNT was formed. He then touched on his dissertation proposal which studies the impact of the Russian Revolution on Spanish worker organizations and specifically on CNT. The next day the book La traición de la hoz y el martillo [The Betrayal of the Hammer and Sickle] was presented and received well, selling a few copies. More materials also arrived from the Grillo Libertario distribution association.

On Saturday we debated the Labor Reform and proposed ways to fight the economic crisis that's being shoved down our throats. We closed with an act accompanied by dinner in the union among comrades. A very pleasant, welcoming and enriching week.
