Following the management of the former secretariat based in Compostela, CNT has chosen the partner Enrique Hoz, metal worker, as its next Secretary General, with the headquarters of the Permanent Secretariat in the city of Bilbao. The new Secretariat will take office at the plenary meeting on July 8, 2017.
The new Permanent Secretariat faces a period in which mobilizations against government cutback policies and the constant repression of dissent and the movements that face the system have become everyday. In a scenario of increasing deregulation of work and constant precariousness, the CNT has become a valid trade union alternative thanks to the development of its unique model based on implementation and rejecting work committees. In this sense, the new Permanent Secretariat will continue to strengthen anarcho-syndicalism by developing the agreements and strategic framework approved at the XI Confederal Congress in order to continue the steps towards the management of the means of production directly by the working class and the implementation of A free society, without power or authority.
