Letter of condolence of the Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD) to the
death of the Filipino working class leader “Ka Wilson” Baldonaza
Dear relatives, dear friends, dear comrades,
with deep grief and sympathy we have received the news that the general
secretary of “Kilusang Mayo Uno” (KMU) and the president of the “Alliance of
Nationalist and Genuine Organization” (ANGLO-KMU) has died on 30 June,
2009 at the age of 55.
On behalf of the Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD), its youth league
REBELL and the children’s organization Rotfüchse (Red Foxes) we convey our
sincere condolences to his family, his friends and comrades, the Filipino
people and the working class movement in the Philippines.
We had the opportunity to get to know him on the occasion of his travel to
Europe in 2007 and we have pleasant memories of him as a modest,
courageous and optimistic trade unionist, comrade and friend.
Since 2007 he was general secretary of the militant trade union umbrella
association of the KMU.
As internationalist he supported among other things the propagation of the
International Automobile Workers’ Counsel and promoted the connections of
automobile workers in the South Asian region.
With Wilson Baldonaza (Ka Wilson) not only the Filipino workers’ and people’s
movement, but also the international proletariat has lost a significant
representative.
We are sure that it is in his sense to transform the grief over this great loss into
force in order to continue his revolutionary concern.
With deep sympathy and in sincere solidarity. #
