First we must reject the false message of opposition politicians, analysts and NGOs, noting that deaths of the 24 policemen and an unknown number of native inhabitants in the genocide perpetrated by Alan Garcia in the Amazon, was due to pride, caprice and obstinacy of the Executive and Congress.
No sir, pride, caprice and obstinacy are so many subjective and secondary, which had been intransigence and fanaticism in defending the interests and investments of transnational corporations in this Lotización of millions of hectares in the Peruvian jungle, including rivers, forests and villages, ethnic origin, as provided in contracts for exploration and exploitation. Secondly, there has been no "people's victory" as the retreat of government that now wants to repeal of legislative decrees 1090 and 1064 and promises to lift state of emergency in the Amazonian provinces and the curfew in Bagua.
Indeed, we are facing a tactical retreat where there are still economic interests of the government's intransigence, signed contracts and implementation of CAFTA. Under the political mantle of the extravagant items " The dog in the manger, Alan Garcia has existing contracts with English, American, Korean, Chilean, etc., Having committed 63 million hectares in the jungle. For example, oil companies are actively operating in the Amazon, executive direct negotiations through Petro Peru, are the following corporations: Pluspetrol North, Korea National Oil Corporation, Daewoo International, SK Corporation, Maple production, Burlington - ConocoPhillips, Repsol, Petrobras, Barrett, Hunt Oil Company, Occidental Petroleum, Sapet, Pan Andean, CCP, Hocol, Amerada Hess, Talisman Cepsa and ; all this without ethanol projects and logging. Then, as can be, the unconstitutional legislative decrees concerning the conflict with the natives came to be on good account, decrees "regularized" the illegality of the contracts imposed de facto. Consequently, once repealed decrees that regularized the investments of the fait accompli of Alan Garcia, would enter a legal vacuum, while existing contracts with the multinationals would become null "ipso jure."
And there can be "people's victory" because the government has not been back because of the serene reflection compared to the criminal action ethnocide started in the Amazon with the policy of "dog in the manger," but for fear of popular insurgency across the country, since Alan Garcia was harassed and next to fall. The dialogue, as noted by Garcia Perez to death, was a thousand ways, of course through the long "wave" to the indigenous leaders of all ethnicities. Reengage repeal of legislative decrees 1090 and 1064, when it has lost confidence in government, bullfighting is only the onslaught of the population against the government. In addition, the government is giving oxygen to insist on legislation similar decrees by changing just the numbering, because the occupation and warned crime in the Amazon. Let's be frank, the government during the 55-day dialogue with AIDESEP ruled that in any way the rules could be rescinded and that is true because without congressional approval and without talking to native ethnic groups as mandated by the constitution and decree 169 ILO, Alan Garcia had sold the forest to the highest bidder attacking the nation's natural reserves, national sovereignty and security of the country's territorial integrity.
However, we welcome the decrease of the puppet government announced Yehude Simon because, for now, will prevent further bloodshed, since after as seen no successful peace assures us, and a new violent attack can occur repeating the history of the massacres to which this ruler usually accused of genocide since his first government. Daisy Zapata, replacement of native leader Alberto Pizango, said: "the indigenous movement does not understand the reasoning of the Government" Executive this delayed reaction is due to the pressure of all Peruvians and the international community, through extensive display of solidarity, protest and sat a stand against the government by its actions on 5 June, "" We must categorically state that before hearing promises we see reality. " She is right, the problem will be when the government "oxygenated" again repeated the "wave" in the dialogues and some repealed decrees approving new ones with different numbers but in essence the same. So much for the problem: the illegal contract in force with transnational corporations.
The other aspect, which should not and can sing "people's victory" some of the questions and answers simple, precisely because they are the most successful single. The questions are for any Peruvian with or without uniform: if you were facing the murderer of one or more of your children, how to act? If you were against the murderer of his father, how to act? If you were against the murderer of his mother, how act? If you were against the murderer his brothers, uncles or nephews, how to act? If you were against the murderer of a close friend, a boyfriend, girlfriend, how to act? The logical answer, are reflections that should make us all. It's that simple. Would you let you escape the murderer, would give carte blanche to continue to act, would forgive him for an act of supreme kindness? The vast majority will say NO. Sure, some would want to punish with his own hands, others commit him to justice to pay for their crimes. That is the only truth. Alan García has committed genocide, ethnic cleansing has been ordered, the worst crime against humanity. And it should be tried for it, in accumulation to the crimes of his first government. A man accused of genocide in all its contours, their hands stained with blood, can not embody the nation and in no way can be a valid interlocutor . All of the APRA government must go. That is another fundamental problem, which has nothing to do with "investment negotiated" behind closed doors by Alan Garcia with transnational mining companies of national strategic reserves. Today, under contract no law. Data
