June 6th and 7th: Everybody to the protest in Plaza de Mayo!
SUPPORT NATIVE PEOPLES
Stop murders and outrages. Oust Insfrán! Cristina's government is accomplice
On Thursday and Friday native peoples will be claiming for their rights in the political center of Argentina: the Plaza de Mayo [May Square, TN]. This is a central fact because the native peoples, that were organized while the Bicentennial rallies [governmental rallies to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the 1810's uprising, TN], are now showing the farce of the 'winning decade' [as kirchnerists call the 10 years government of Cristina and Nestor Kirchner, TN]. Three years after, their claims not only remain unsatisfied, but they also suffer every day as they are hunted and killed by the kirchnerist governors. The most emblematic example is, without question, the despicable murderous Gildo Insfrán, who is the kirchnerist governor of Formosa. Thus, this is a turning point for the native people and the popular militancy that supports kirchnerism.
This protest, also, is not just the continuity of the Dialogue Table organized between the kirchnerists' officials, the Qoms [native people, TN] and the Human Rights Organizations. Mainly it has to be analyzed related to the historic protest camp that native peoples developed in Avenida de Mayo [May Avenue, central Avenue in the center of Buenos Aires, TN], until they were expelled by a gang of members of La Cámpora [ultra-kirchnerist organization, TN] led by deputy Larroque (in 2011). Today, two years after that, the native peoples are still fighting. Today, half a year after they sent an open letter to the presidency on November 18th 2012, asking for an urgent meeting, native peoples are pointing Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in the focus of their denounce.
In fact, even Nora Cortiñas, a Madre de Plaza de Mayo [organization of relatives of the political murdered in the last dictatorship, symbol of the struggle for democratic rights, TN] has stated in a press conference that the Qom community is "criminally under attack" and she addressed the president Cristina Kirchner to ask their personal intervention in order to make their rights respected. "We cannot tolerate any more the attacks, the murders, the tortures that these criminals do. They don't act by they own, but following orders against this community". These striking words finished with a demolishing statement against kirchnerism and Cristina herself: "silence is pain, and it offense us". This is a crucial moment for the popular militants to draw conclusions about the nature of kirchnerism and choose their side: in the Plaza de Mayo with the Qom or with the silent that guarantee the impunity of the killers as Insfrán.
