Autriche-Turquie : l'Europe capitaliste va-t-elle continuer avec des fascistes au pouvoir ?

Si le FPÖ, le parti d'extrême-droite de Heiders, arrive à constituer un gouvernement de coalition avec le parti hrétien ÖVP en Autriche? Si ce parti anti-européen et anti-sémite fait parie du pouvoir? D'après les dernières nouvelles il y a un accord sur la constitution d'un gouvernement avec la participation des fascistes. Cependant, juste 55 ans après, le 25 janvier 2000, les sirènes d'alarme retentissent encore en Europe. Les fascistes se précipitent pour saisir le pouvoir en Autriche. Si on rapelle les événements d'il y a 55 ans, il faut aussi rappeler l'insurrection des ouvriers autrichiens en Février 1934, lors de la prise du pouvoir par les fascistes. "Comme les communards du Paris de 1871, les héros de l'insurrection autrichienne vivent, eux aussi, dans le grand coeur du prolétariat, qui dans tous les pays du capitalisme mène le combat contre le fascisme. Les ouvriers autrichiens ont livré une bataille d'une grandeur gigantesque et ont écrit de leur sang une page glorieuse de l'histoire. La formidable insurrection du mois de février a été la première insurrection armée contre le fascisme. Ces luttes héroïques de la petite Autriche ont tenu pendant six jours et six nuits le monde en haleine. La bourgeoisie a tremblé devant la force formidable de la classe ouvrière. Elle a tremblé pour son système capitaliste pourri, pour son édifice anqueroutier, qui ne saurait s'appuyer que sur la pointe des baïonnettes. Et elle n'a eu qu'un avant-goût de ce que les ouvriers sont capables lorsqu'ils s'engagent sur la voie de la lutte révolutionnaire !" "Les masses travailleuses du monde entier - les ouvriers, les masses travailleuses opprimées, les esclaves coloniaux - ont tourné un regard plein d'espérance vers l'Autriche; elles ont suivi avec la sympathie et l'enthousiasme le plus grand l'héroïque combat des ouvriers autrichiens. Cette insurrection leur a clairement démontré que la victoire finale des masses opprimées sur le fascisme est certaine." Extrait d'une brochure du Secours Rouge Français de 1934. Le texte complet est disponible à l'adresse suivante: http://www.altern.org/felix2/francais/potencef.html Cela montre que la bourgeoisie cherche toujours son salut par les même moyens. Or, si le Parti Social-démocrate Autrichien a déjà trahi les ouvriers autrichiens en 1934, aujourd'hui il se fait carrément complice des fascistes. Henri -- http://www.altern.org/felix2/francais/

Un mirage en épingle à cheveux. Reportage. Chaque année, l'organisation du "Dakar" nous promet qu'elle apporte des petits plus, technologiques ou autres, dans les régions traversées. "Allô, Thierry Sabine Organisation ?- Oui.- Pouvez-vous donner quelques renseignements sur l'action humanitaire qui accompagne le 'Dakar' ?- Nous ne communiquons pas sur ce sujet." Quelle pudeur, dès le départ ! Deuxième étape de l'épreuve, vendredi 7 janvier : Tambacounda-Kayes. En tout, 359 kilomètres de traversée du Sahel, terrain plat, désertique, rocailleux, d'un "niveau de pilotage élevé", dit Hubert Auriol, patron du "Dakar", propriété du groupe "L'Equipe-Le Parisien". La veille, à Kayes (prononcer "gaille"), personne n'avait l'air très au courant. Un vendeur de cigarettes : "Ah ! bon, c'est quand ? Demain ? Ah, j'irai, ça m'intéresse." Mais on dirait qu'il dit ça pour faire plaisir. Total : dans tous les bons coups !Un chauffeur de taxi : "Nous, ce qui nous intéresse, c'est que Kayes a été retenue pour la Coupe d'Afrique des nations de football !" Ce n'est pas le bout du monde, mais presque : pas une seule route ne mène à cette ville de 78 000 habitants. Pour rejoindre la capitale, Bamako, à 700 km, il faut faire deux jours de piste exécrable. Le vieux train colonial, toujours bondé, met douze heures au minimum, et l'avion, un coucou de seize places, se pose une ou deux fois par semaine sur l'aérodrome. "Ce dont souffre Kayes avant tout, dit Frank Müller, patron de l'antenne locale de la coopération française, c'est de son enclavement." Mais c'est justement ce qui plaît aux organisateurs du "Dakar". Le 'jour où les routes seront praticables, le rallye devra aller voir ailleurs. Avec le rallye, tôt le matin, c'est une vraie ville qui ne met à pousser au bord de l'aérodrome. Déboulent une douzaine d'avions, une demi-douzaine d'hélicoptères, au pied desquels s'affairent des types à casquette et bermuda. Voilà que surgissent un bar (15 F la bière), une cantine (au menu ce soir, steak-frites), des latrines, Une salle de presse, etc. Le "Dakar" c'est 400 équipages (200 motos, 135 autos et 65 camions), soit environ 600 coureurs, plus les mécaniciens, les invités, les journalistes (France 2 et France 3 mobilisent une cinquantaine de personnes et quatre avions), etc. En tout 2 000 personnes. Tandis que, sur le coup de midi, quelques centaines de gamins désoeuvrés s'agglutinent au bord de la piste pour voir arriver les premiers motards, les flics du coin patrouillent près de la ligne de démarcation, un ruban de plastique rouge et blanc frappé du sigle Total qui ceint le camp. Total, l'un des principaux sponsors du rallye, est dans tous les bons coups en ce moment. Le jeune cheikh Sidi, qui survit en louant 5 F par jour des cassettes pirates de Jean-Claude Van Damme : "C'est jour férié aujourd'hui, à cause de la fin du ramadan, tu vas voir, cet après-midi, tout Kayes va venir ici !" Mais les heures passent, les voitures puis les camions surgissent dans des nuages de poussière, et seule une poignée de badauds a rejoint les gamins. Pendant ce temps-là, dans le garage à ciel ouvert qu'est devenu le bivouac, on désosse les machines, on répare, on nettoie. Débauche de moyens, de groupes électrogènes, de camions dégueulant de pièces détachées, d'équipement dernier cri. A 2 kilomètres de là, sur les rues défoncées du centre-ville, les rares automobilistes roulent à bord d'épaves mille fois rafistolées, faute de pièces de rechange, qu'ils essaient vainement de trouver auprès des mécanos. Lamba Tall, un haut fonctionnaire, fait le pied de grue devant le bivouac. Nous avons au Mali une quarantaine de 4x4 Nissan mais nous ne réussissons à trouver aucune pièce. Je viens ici pour essayer de m'en procurer. L'équipe Nissan accepte de jeter un oeil au véhicule présenté : "Trop vieux ! On n'a rien pour vous." "Le 'Dakar', tout le monde s'en fout. Ça ne nous rapporte rien. Aucun impact économique : ils vivent au autarcie complète." Salif Magassouba est un responsables du GRDR, Groupement régional de développement rural, une organisation non gouvernementale qui depuis trente ans finance des projets de développement agricole dans la région. "Kayes est à la fois arriérée et moderne on a des antennes paraboliques, on reçoit Canal+ et TV 5. Chacun de nous a vu des courses de voitures à la télévision... Le seul effet de ce rallye, c'est d'inciter les jeunes au départ : les Français ont de l'argent à jeter ; moi il faut que je parte en France..." "Les blaireaux peuvent s'en sortir à 150 0

SALVARE LA VITA DI ILHAN YELKUVAN E DELLE SUE COMPAGNE E COMPAGNI Alle organizzazioni e persone nel mondo che si occupano di diritti umani e solidarietà: Oggi è il sessantaduesimo giorno dello sciopero della fame e il terzo giorno dello sciopero della sete del prigioniero politico turco Ilhan Yelkuvan, detenuto nel carcere di Amburgo, Germania. Ilhan Yelkuvan non si può alzare dal letto e può morire da un giorno all’altro. Questo prigioniero politico sta esigendo l’innalzamento delle condizioni carcerarie, rispetto al regime speciale di isolamento imposto dal tribunale di Amburgo contro di lui. Questo regime speciale prevede che Ilhan venga tenuto rinchiuso in cella per 23 ore al giorno e che l’unica ora d’aria che gli è concessa sia tra le 4 e le cinque della mattina. Gli è proibito in particolare qualsiasi contatto con altri prigionieri di nazionalità turca, per il pericolo di influenzarli politicamente, secondo il giudice responsabile. Il turco è l’unica lingua che Ilhan domina realmente, e così lui qualifica questo regime come un "sistema di aparthaid". Ilhan Yelkuvan è condannato all’ergastolo in prima istanza dal tribunale di Amburgo, per delitti relativi alla sua militanza nel DHKP-C (Fronte Rivoluzionario per la Liberazione del Popolo Turco); quest’organizzazione è dichiarata illegale e perseguita in Germania dal 1998, così come dal 1993 l’organizzazione Kurda PKK. Altre e altri prigionieri politici turchi detenuti in varie carceri in Germania, Francia, Belgio e Svizzera si sono uniti allo sciopero della fame di Ilhan Yelkuvan, esigendo l’innalzamento delle condizioni del regime carcerario di isolamento e la fine della persecuzione politica del DHKP- C. 1300 prigionieri politici detenuti nelle carceri turche sono entrati dal 12 gennaio in sciopero della fame in solidarietà con Ilhan e i suoi compagni. Ishan Ersoy, che si era aggiunto allo sciopero della fame, ieri ha perduto coscienza ed è stato trasferito nell’ospedale carcerario di Berlino, dove le autorità negano al suo avvocato di visitarlo. Anche Ali Ekti, prigioniero politico detenuto ad Amburgo, si trova in condizioni di estrema debolezza e sta sputando sangue nel suo 55° giorno della fame. I prigionieri politici hanno annunciato che continueranno le loro azioni fino a che non siano esaudite le loro richieste. questa è una questione di vita o di morte, ed è una questione di ore o di giorni. Noi, l’organizzazione Libertad, pensiamo che le loro richieste siano giuste e debbano essere esaudite. Facciamo quest’appello urgente a tutte le organizzazioni e persone nel mondo che si occupano di diritti umani e solidarietà: aiutate con la vostra protesta a salvare la vita di Ilhan yelkuvan e dei suoi compagni. Adesso! Inviate un fax di protesta al giudice responsabile e una mail ai ministri tedeschi dell’interno e della giustizia, chiede

aspects scandaleux du Dakar-Le Caire (II)
Roger ROMAIN a/conseiller communalB6180 COURCELLES sites web : http://www1.brutele.be/users/r.romain/Sommario.html http://www1.brutele.be/users/r.romain/enbref.html e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Encore lu sur "LA CREME DE CANARD: 22, rev'là le Dakar !On est prié d'applaudir l'exploit : vaguement menacé par de mystérieux terroristes, le Paris-Dakar a sauté par-dessus le Niger. Pétochard comme pas deux, mais bien organisé dans le sauve-qui-peut ! Trois Antonov (le plus gros avion du monde, s'extasie tout le monde), pour transborder 2 500 tonnes de matos ! 143 motos ! 150 autos ! 77 camions ! 1 365 personnes ! Sans compter la vingtaine d'avions et la dizaine d'hélicoptères de la troupe... La débandade de nos "aventuriers" a coûté, dit-on, la modique somme de 30 millions de francs. Qui paie ? Total, le sponsor officiel du rallye ? Peut-être Thierry Desmarest a-t-il offert deux journées de son salaire : l'homme est tellement généreux, en ce moment... On savait le Paris-Dakar cousu d'or, mais pas à ce point. On savait que cette escapade de riches chez les pauvres était obscène : on en a une preuve supplémentaire. Désolé d'insister (voir "Le Canard" de la semaine dernière), mais cette obscénité ne vient pas du seul fait qu'elle met spectaculairement en scène le contraste du luxe et de la misère. Après tout, disent certains, le seul scandale du Dakar est de nous rappeler qu'il y a des pays pauvres et des pays riches, et cela, il n'en est pas responsable. Non : c'est parce que ces pays sont pauvres que ce rallye existe. C'est de leur misère qu'il s'enrichit. C'est parce que leurs routes ne sont pas goudronnées. Parce que le réseau routier du Mali est deux cents fois moins dense que celui de la France. Parce que les gouvernements pauvres de ces pays pauvres sont prêts à tout pour une obole. Parce qu'on peut s'y passer des mesures de sécurité si coûteuses chez nous. Parce qu'on peut y écraser une petite fille, lui enlever la rate, la soustraire aux médias et faire en sorte que plus personne n'en parle trois jours après. Evidemment, tout cela n'a rien à voir avec la politique, n'est-ce pas ? Jean-Claude Killy, grand patron de l'affaire (et salarié du groupe Amaury, qui possède "L'Equipe" et "Le Parisien", auquel profite ce cirque), en est persuadé : "Nous ne faisons pas de politique." Tu parles. Et le coureur Pescarolo, qui fait tellement peu de politique qu'il a été candidat (malheureux) aux dernières européennes sur la liste Chasse, Pêche, Nature et Traditions, de se lamenter, sur France-Info : "On vit dans un monde de merde. Nous on est au volant en ne pensant qu'au sport et à la compétition. On arrive à Niamey et on retombe dans la réalité du monde actuel." Pauvre chou ! Fallait pas aller en Afrique. L'Afrique n'est pas un rêve éthéré ni un terrain de jeux pour gosses de riches. Mais un continent sinistré par le sida, la misère, les guerres, les retards sanitaires, économiques, politiques, l'exploitation des matières premières, la course au pétrole par Elf, filiale de Total justement. L'Afrique est dans la merde. Pour sa 22e édition, le Dakar s'honorerait en se faisant hara-kiri, comme on le demande ici et là (1). Mais ce n'est là qu'un rêve, bien sûr. L'an prochain, il reviendra. C'est ça, la "réalité du monde actuel". (1) Mouvement critique du sport, 88, rue de la Bretonnerie, 45000 Orléans, tél. : 02-38-42-00-08.

Thank you. Piotr Bein [EMAIL PROTECTED] = February 1, 2000 Vancouver/Canada and Cracow/Poland Polish "Green Brigades" need help Grassroot publications denied government funding Withdrawing public funds from a country's leading independent magazine does not contribute to freedom of information. For publishing alternative information on NATO war in Yugoslavia, depleted uranium weapons, and the hypocrisy of some European Greens re human rights in Kosovo, the "Green Brigades Ecologist Magazine", a Polish environmental bi-weekly, received a death sentence from the government-run fund for the protection of the environment. Well-read "Dzikie Zycie", "Kropla" and many other small, independent publications shared a similar fate. Andrzej Zwawa, the chief editor of the Green Brigades Publishing House is trying to rescue the magazine, despite government decision. He issued a petition to the government in Polish and English, which supporters can sign on the Internet at http://www.most.org.pl/zb/gbnfos.htm. The punishment was dealt under the pretext of withdrawing funds from small publications. With a circulation of only 1,000 copies every 2 weeks, Polish "Green Brigades" serves as an information exchange forum for the country's environment and community movement, as well as the general public. The bi-weekly appears on the Internet, where it enjoys far greater readership. The staff, facilities and equipment are basic. Often 3-5 people work on less than adequate computers in a cramped space, equivalent to half the area of a plushy office in the government or its fund. All texts in "Green Brigades" come from volunteer authors, who are proponents and opponents of diverse religions, political and military alliances, organizations, ideas and worldviews. Although an unfair 1998 article in respectable "Polityka" weekly unfairly labeled it "sectarian", the environmental bi-weekly remains one of Poland's few non-bigoted publications. Access to the records of the granting decision was denied, but well-informed sources maintain that the commission refused the funding because texts of "...anarchists, leftists, opponents of bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO..." have appeared in the condemned publications. The grassroots activists wonder how much influence sectarian hysteria exerts on the funding decisions. A recent book by two Catholic clergy, professors Slipko and Zwolinski, titled "Rozdroza ekologii" (cross-roads of ecology) manipulates original statements of environmentalists to make them look sectarian and dangerous to society. According to the professors in cassocks, vegetarianism is a religion, and Greenpeace "...have no idea what is really harmful and hazardous for the environment. while promoting technologies that are lethal for the environment." Using the book as court evidence, the mayor of Bielsko, the seat of "Dzikie Zycie", refused city funding for this publication. Zwawa's bi-weekly featured numerous authors from Western Europe and North America on topics ranging from deep ecology, through deforestation, organic farming, agrotourism and global climate change, to the use of depleted uranium weapons in Yugoslavia. "Green Brigades" held an interview with Niaz Dorry of Greenpeace USA, the 1998 "Time" magazine 'Hero of the Planet'. It also presented: the North American solar aquatic method of treating sewage; a community sustainability project downtown Vancouver, British Columbia; the controversy over Makah whale hunt off the coast of Washington state; the clear-cutting of old-growth rainforests in Canada; the risks from marine aquaculture and overfishing worldwide; the struggle of American Indians to retain t

LONG LIVE THE VICTORY OF OUR DEATH FAST RESISTANCE For 63 days resistance to German imperialism was witnessed both inside and outside prison. Ilhan Yelkuvan resisted such German practices as solitary confinement, attempts to make him surrender and to Germanise him, he waged a battle using the cells of his own body by converting his hunger strike to a Death Fast, which began on November 30th, 1999. All the DHKP-C prisoners in Germany participated in this resistance with solidarity hunger strikes for an indefinite period, and some non-political prisoners joined in with solidarity hunger strikes. Also the Cephe (Front) prisoners in Belgium and France joined in the resistance. More than 1,000 Party-Front prisoners in Turkey initially participated in 3-day hunger strikes, and from January 24th 2000 they converted them into indefinite hunger strikes with the slogan of "one for all and all for one". Also the prisoners from TKP(ML), TKP/ML, TIKP, Devrimci Yol, TIKB, PKK-Revolutionary Line Fighters were on 3-day solidarity hunger strike in several prisons. Also our supporters and people participated fully in the resistance that the prisoners extended on a daily basis. Thousands of fax messages and letters were sent, posters were hung, press releases were distributed and our resistance was announced to European public opinion. Demonstrations took place in front of all German Embassies in Europe. The buildings of Amnesty International and the Goethe Institute in England, as well as the Goethe Institute in Holland, the Cologne cathedral and SPD offices in Germany and the office of a trade union in Switzerland were occupied. The Holland-Germany frontier was blocked for 3 hours, a 60 km-long tailback was formed and the resistance was announced to the drivers. Marches were organised in Hamburg, Cologne and London to support Ilhan Yelkuvan. German imperialism wanted to prevent the activities of the DHKP-C by forbidding it, by pressing charges against tens of Front supporters in accordance with Article "129a" of the Criminal Law, by arresting people and forcing them to co-operate with the authorities against the DHKP-C. All this was not enough. They practised a wide-ranging policy of repression against our prisoners in an attempt to make them surrender. Ilhan Yelkuvan was placed in solitary confinement and all his rights were taken away from him because he did not give up the thought of being a member of the Cephe. He was banned from seeing the other prisoners by using the pretext that he might spread propaganda among other people from Turkey. This is clearly a denial of FREEDOM OF THOUGHT and is RACISM. This means that you are not allowed to speak your mother tongue or continue to live according to your own culture, you will be made to give up your political thoughts and be subject to Germanisation. These practices are an insult and an attempt to denigrate the peoples of Turkey. It is a lie to say that there are human rights, freedom of thought, democracy, equality and justice in Germany. The attacks against our people and prisoners in Germany are the practices of the heirs of the Nazis. The decision to inflict arbitrary confinement is a deliberate and politically motivated decision. This decision was reached in the interests of fascism in Turkey. German is co-operating with Turkey both economically and politically and therefore is selling Turkey Leopard tanks and other weapons. Germany also supported fascists of the MHP (Nationalist Movement Party) and the Hizbullah supporters who are striving for a Sharia state. They are also responsible for the Hizbullah killing fields. They are an accomplice of the Susurluk state. The peoples of the world have not forgotten what the Nazis did. Nazism is condemned by the peoples of the entire world. Therefore Germany's current attacks will not be forgiven either. We represent justice, freedom and democracy. We are waging war against the fascist regime in Turkey and imperialism. Our struggle is not directly against the German state but against fascism in Turkey. In the Ulucanlar prison 10 prisoners were massacred just because they demanded an extra ward. Ilhan also was denied his rights and left to die over the last 10 months because he would not change his thoughts. These attacks are a part of the policies of imperialist countries led by the US to make the revolutionary movements surrender. They are in fear of the struggle for revolution wherever it may be. The resistance of revolutionaries, the hope of people's liberation, to all sieges and policies of surrendering, make imperialism feel uneasy. This is the main problem. We did not choose to be refugees and to live apart from our country. Our minds and hearts are always with the people in our country. We never see ourselves as being outside of the war despite being behind the front-line. They see us as "black heads" in Europe, make us work in the most menial jobs, they denied us our cultures and values, they attempted to m

Korean Central News Agency Feb 2
Greetings to Vietnamese Communist Party Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the Worker's Party of Korea today sent a congratulatory message to the c.c., the Vietnamese Communist Party on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of its foundation. It reads: The Vietnamese Communist Party, founded and strengthened and developed by Ho Chi Minh, organized and led the struggle against the imperialists' colonial rule and the struggle of national salvation against the U.S. to victory and achieved complete liberation of the country and national unity. Under the leadership of the party led by Le Lha Phieu, the Vietnamese people have made great progress in socialist construction and defense of the country with Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's idea as guidelines. Expressing belief that the friendly and cooperative relations between the two parties and two peoples would be further consolidated and developed, it wished the party and the people of Vietnam greater success in their struggle for the victory of the socialist cause. Gift to Kim Jong Il Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il received a gift from the delegation of the National Assembly of People's Power of Cuba that visited the DPRK. Jose Luis Toledo, president of the Permanent Commission of Constitutional and Juridical Affairs, who is heading the delegation handed it over to an official concerned. Preparatory committees formed abroad Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- Preparatory committees for celebrating the 58th birthday of General Secretary Kim Jong Il were inaugurated in different countries. Inaugural meetings were recently held in the Czech Republic, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe. Speakers at the inaugural meetings said that the preparatory committees were formed to more significantly mark February 16, common holiday of humankind, and called for widely introducing and propagandizing the idea and leadership exploits of Kim Jong Il through colourful functions. The meetings discussed on the publication of bulletins and colourful functions to be conducted during the celebration period. Messages of greetings to Kim Jong Il were adopted in the Czech Republic and Zimbabwe. International Kothongryon preparatory committee formed Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- A preparatory committee of the International United Confederation of Koreans (International Kothongryon) for celebrating the 58th birthday of General Secretary Kim Jong Il was inaugurated on January 24. Sok Myong Son, Honorary Chairman of the International Kothongryon, was elected chairman of the committee. The committee set a period of celebration from February 3 to 18 and decided on action program. Korean people's struggle supported by Guinean President Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- Guinean President Lansana Conte met with the DPRK ambassador to his country on January 27. On the occasion the President said that the friendly and cooperative relations between Guinea and Korea are special ones and Guinea will always side with the Korean people. He went on: Korea is a united country strong in independence. Korea will surely be a prosperous country because the Korean people are single-heartedly united around Marshal Kim Jong Il and their military power is strong. Kim Jong Il is now pursuing the policy of attaching importance to the matters of educating people in one ideology, strengthening the army and developing science and technology, which is very important and just. The reunification of Korea will surely be achieved because the policy set forth by Kim Jong Il for national reunification is just and all the people unanimously support it. U.S.-S. Korea military maneuvers Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- The U.S. and the South Korean authorities kicked off provocative joint military maneuvers in the sea around the Korean peninsula from January 31, according to a foreign press report. Involved in the maneuvers to be continued until February 3 were seven warships including latest U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Stennis and cruiser Port Royal. The warmongers announced they would conduct operations for detecting submarines of the "enemy." It shows that their DPRK-targeted war provocation moves are committed at a practical stage. Ridiculous argument about "engagement" Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- South Korean "Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade" Ri Jong Bin, when meeting foreign representatives in Seoul, said he would steadily promote the "engagement policy toward the north," according to a report. The utterances of the newly-appointed Foreign Minister indicate that the South Korean authorities will continue the "engagement policy" in diplomatic policy. This betrays the sinister attempt of the South Korean authorities to continue pursuing the policy of north-south confrontation and lead the situation of the Korean peninsula to escala

El fin, causar el desplazamieto de la zona y así facilitar la creación de un nuevo departamento y un aliado a la invasión norteamericana. Por Sara E.

Al construir la represa pierden sustentabilidad más de 300 mil personas. ¿Es decir, los habitantes de esta zona se verían obligados a abandonar los terrenos y dar paso a los grandes terratenientes? -Los terratenientes son los dueños de las grandes extensiones de tierra, más de 36 mil kilómetros cuadrados que tiene la ciénaga grande y que comprende los municipios de Lorica, Purísima, San Andrés de Sotavento y Chimá. Aquí priman no solo los intereses de los politiqueros de Córdova, también de los de Antioquia y Sucre. La represa de Urrá según los técnicos va a durar 50 años. Estas culturas han sido milenarias no sé si sea un buen negocio exterminar a los Embera y a los Senú, porqué eso va a suceder si ya no tiene lugar donde vivir y tampoco de qué vivir. ¿Usted como luchador de los derechos de los indígenas, cómo ve a futuro esta situación? -La Represa no va a solucionar el problema de las inundaciones en Còrdoba, eso es mentira. Cuando empiecen otra vez las ihundaciones, el Gobierno va a decir hay que construir Urrá 2. Con el tiempo si se piensa crear el departamento del Urabá, que sería lastimoso, pero es lo que hay detrás de esta guerra, de la cual el gobierno es alcahueta, será sobre las bases de sangre, plomo y desplazados. Ya hoy se ha empezado a dividir la Ciénaga con la construción de la carretera que separa a San Pelayo y Lorica, de esta manera ya los terratenientes se han apropiado de parte de Córdoba. En el futuro nos espera un enfrentamiento pluriétnico.
