Chile: Pinera, the Covenant and human rights dialogue with murderers Is?
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, reports were released which showed the obvious, en Chile se violan sistemáticamente los DD.HH. Paralelamente conocimos la lamentable noticia de la perdida de visión de Gustavo Gatica producto del fuego asesino de los pacos, you adding another name to the mutilations caused by the repressive forces, facts that are accompanied by deaths, torture, persecution and violations from the 18 October.
Repressive scheme that the government is not giving results, because it got the opposite: strong social response that unnerved a historical revenge going around. Pinera policy that weakened him he and his repressive forces, Today sustained in power through a pact with the "functional opposition.
Nostalgic dictatorship: murder and agree.
More than one month of the outbreak, public spaces are dominated by the insurrectionary atmosphere of our people, creativity in the streets and self-organized defense faces the legacy of Pinochetism, its model and institutions. An economic framework, political and social imposed by blood and fire that was sealed with the transitional pact, process that not only kept neoliberal capitalism, but also it constituted the basis for impunity for all human rights violators of the dictatorship. Exemplifying is that Pinochet continued as head of the armed forces to 1998 and subsequently he served as Lifetime Senator. Standard to understand the actions of the armed forces and police today.
Thirty years later, that negotiated the coalition (ex-New Majority) the dictatorship, It is what is teetering. On the streets "injustice trembles when fighting against those who have nothing to lose" is read, among other slogans, gift of the revolution on the walls of our country, a record of fierce popular revenge against those who govern in the parameters of the Constitution of the 80 '. Flow impinging upon the social interests of minorities concentrated in power represented by their traditional parties, all of them willing to negotiate once a murderer government cooking a new covenant.
The PC and the FA at the rate of impunity.
The box adds other actors, not only the covenant was signed by former New Majority, He also adhered to the main references of those postulated as political renewal: the Frente Amplio. They conditioned by the current governance quickly became a variant of the old. A sector directly acting as spokesmen for the pact, While others, by omission, guarantee the stage for advancing the "kitchen". On this we mean that internal leaderships demanding from left, as the Equality Party, merely lukewarm pose as "freezing" of their participation in the FA, unresolved with a coherent policy that serves to advance the process.
The Communist Party, although not signed, at first he agreed to the deal that led to the pact with the DC and all opposition. Subsequently they raised to "positive", isolating their criticism shortly to endorse what was already underway. The declaration of the CC of the PC day 19 November exposes the forces ideas to occupy a space in the constitutional process to be built in the image and likeness of the current Constitution, invoking a storyline stirring fear, "…In other words, If the alternative to peace was a military intervention or a new state of emergency imposed by the government, including the State of Siege. In that case, It would be a serious constraint to the right to opinion, participation and an affront to democracy " [i]. That is to say, is justified in the frames to act are limited to the defense of the current democratic margins, therefore it is not raised the balance of power in favor of the streets.
The PC looks only part of reality, reasoning that an expression in politics "criticism" facing the covenant, is so arranged in the same document emanating from the CC that "the quorum 2/3 to approve the rules is very high. Therefore it is established 3/5, with blank "[ii]. A new makeup not change, again enhancing the pro proscriptive right.
If the PC adaptation justifies "a lesser evil" for fear militarization, should instead make room for that possibility, act with the tool that has curbed the government: the general strike. contradictorily, its demobilizing oxygenate policy has allowed the government maintaining political prisoners, persecutions and attempts to advance a decree approving the military guard strategic points.
Background are part of the old and preserved according to their own interests which are uprightly imbricated with the current model.
Social Dialogue unit ¿Right or continue the general strike?
These positions have a correlation in the dynamic operating the leadership of Social Unit (FA and PC), synthesized a union scale and social movements. One consequence is passivity to turn on the streets, but also in the anti-democratic dynamics of internal debates US. It is so desoyendo mobilization have removed the "out Piñera" of your requests, a slogan that gained strength in the last week product of human rights violations.
But not only they adapt their specifications, but prior to the day of the general strike 26 October, US union bloc accepted the invitation of the Minister of the Interior to meet him. Sit with Blumel is a criminal policy by US bureaucracies and the leaders of the PC and the FA. Revalidation of a criminal government that is on the canvas and the people do not want, even surveys place it on a 12% of approval (fall).
One of the conclusions of the process is that the systematic violence that began with the state of emergency could not fight against stocks that showed the people, while for each general strike force it manifested itself in the working class, imposing at first remove the military from the streets, then forcing them to compromise with the "opposition". The social fund insurgency power changes, no covenant with those who murder, rediscutir condition that borderless country we want it now. The PC and the FA with the leaders of US so far proven to be pillars so that the model does not fall apart.
With murderers is not dialogue, the road is another: anticapitalist and revolutionary.
Deaths, violations, mutilations, torture and persecution throws the balance of government policies. The pact try anything close to the size of impunity, a position which is the guarantee to mediate a new constitution to the margins of the current. The village has not allowed and the crack with old continues to deepen. A dichotomy between the will of the street and among those in power, including parliamentary left.
Why criticism of the US address can not be limited only to discuss the "statement of the people" or "Statement of workers" as suggested by other leftist organizations. Piñera in power is to sow illusions about constitutional changes that require majorities working. The framework to ensure all popular demands must begin with one of the main slogans street: Outside Piñera.
Thus it is necessary to believe that the public positioning of dissident sectors within US, define openly rejecting agreements and dialogues that support undemocratic repression of a leadership that seeks an outlet under the right pinochetista. A route that could intensify the road against impunity and discuss the conditions to advance unitedly along with new phenomena arising in the revolution: self-organization in assemblies.
That reason is because he was Piñera is a fundamental measure to stop the repression and persecution. Guarantee to advance a true Constituent Assembly to discuss country and we want to prosecute human rights violators of the dictatorship and present, through unaComisión Independent Investigator for the trial and punishment for the crimes of the dictatorship and these 30 years, for all that is central to throw Piñera and all his accomplices with a bottom-up planning, between assemblies are self-summoned and unions, coordination to support the effectiveness of the general strike, dynamic social demands that are the engine for the new Chile: No more AFP, free education and health, legal abortion, safe and free, wages equal to the cost of living and the renationalisation of all our natural resources.
These perspectives are raised, what is needed is the political force, today build a New Anti-Capitalist Left to add wills of many men and women is a necessity on the way to nurture the revolutionary process that opened the Chilean people. na new revolutionary alternative, feminist, ecosocialista and internationalist necessary to enable, not negotiate with murderers and their accomplices, opening the prospect of a government that never govern lxs: the workers with the people, through their organizations, assemblies and committee strikes.
That is the route we invite you to make strong with nosotres in the anti-capitalist movement.
J.A. anticapitalist movement
