The CNT-CIT Barcelona session held a transphobic event. Now LGBTQIA+ syndicalists are demanding that the session be defederated from CNT-CIT

Does anyone have some more info on this?

The details I do know, based on Instagram posts from both CNT Barcelona and their opposition, is that:

• CNT Barcelona hosted an event discussing trans healthcare in Spain, with four prominent TERFs as guests. One claims to be a detransitioner.
• A protest was made by anarchists against the event.
• CNT Barcelona supposedly called the police against the protesters. There’s even footage of a supposed secretary from CNT-CIT being friendly with cops.

Holy crap. This is awful. Totally against the ethos and culture of the entire organisation as I know it.

Oh shit, that’s horrible. Do you happen to know how the CNT became so transphobic and started collaborating with police? Up until now I thought they were pretty cool (mostly because of the role they played in the spanish revolution).

They have been like that for at least a decade. As with every anarchist movement, if the ones trying to impose hierarchy within it aren’t kept in check, it becomes reactionary.

IIRC a few years ago a branch of the CNT (can’t remember if it was the same one) did a fucking eviction of their own comrades with the help of cops. Nasty bunch.
