Leon Trotsky Speech in Mexico

Trotsky is holding a copy of his book ’Behind The Moscow Trial’. He stands in front of a brick wall. He apologises for his poor English and gives thanks to the Mexican people and their leader President Cardenas. He thanks Cardenas for allowing him to go from being held ’under lock and key’ in Norway to being able to talk freely in Mexico. He says that Stalin’s trial against him is based on false evidence. This is based on Stalinism - ’the irresponsible despotism of the bureaucracy over the people.“
