"Hokoke, hokoke"
- Hokoke, hokoke. Regret fi oroke. Lan Hansaha to four adamons. It means that “my rights are my blood in the veins. I will not forget them even if they kill me.” This Arabic shout is not being heard in the greenhouses of El Ejido, in Almería, but in the heart of Euskal Herria, in Navarra. It does not seem that he is on the way to solve the problem and for the fourth week the workers of Huerta de Peralta de Peralta, all Moroccan immigrants, except those responsible for the company, are on strike. It is a team of about 150 people who in the greenhouses receive lettuce and vegetables, as the locals no longer want to work that way. They call for the readmission of four members of the works council who were dismissed and for the repayment of the EUR 440,000 owed to them by the company for breach of the agreement.
This struggle is important, as it is the immigrants who defend their rights and can serve as an example for thousands of other immigrants living in false slavery in the greenhouses business. The evolution of this strike has been a great step – demonstrations by strikers and expressions of solidarity with them – to curb abuses by large landowners against the most demanding workers and not to extend injustice and precariousness to other greenhouses. The solidarity that is emerging between the immigrant and the indigenous population should also be highlighted: We have heard shouts like “here or outside, working-class” and have organized a resistance box to maintain the struggle.
The Government of Navarre should not respond to the repression of the foral police, but should mediate, since the company that produces salads' covers, Huerta de Peralta, receives significant public aid. Hokoke, hokoke!
