Dear Reader;
In Holland, on June 4th 2005, the pact "Juntos Podemos Holanda" has
been constituted, a left wing oriented political orientation that
seeks for the Dutch support to the projects of this new political
parties unit and left wing organization in Chile, which stands to make
true the reliving of a great part of the native people in Chile and
Chilean people. PODEMOS (We can) stand for Social Democrat Power.
Chile today, after the 15 years of democracy transition, is again
preparing for the president election to be held in December of the
current year.
In 1988 Chile went to the polls to vote in a plebiscite, in that
moment, on whether to continue the dictatorship of Pinochet or having
election with the participation of political parties that the
dictatorship was willing to recognize.
This plebiscite stated as a fact the acceptance of the Constitution
signed in 1980, imposed in a period of oppression and military
repression validated during the dictatorship as a way to persecute the
popular movements.
In opposition to the dictatorship the "Concertación of parties forth
democracy" arose, a conglomerate of centralist political parties whose
motto during the plebiscite was "Chile, la alegría ya viene" (Chile,
happiness is at hand)
Today the "Concertación" is made up of the following political parties:
Partido Radical Social Demócrata; (Radical Social Democrat Party)
Partido Demócrata
Cristiano; (Christian Democrat Party)
Partido Por la
Democracia; (Party forth Democracy)
Partido Socialista.
(Socialist Party)
Pinochet was defeated and in 1990 the government of Chile felt in the
hands of Mr. Patricio Aylwin Azócar (1990-1994), who was president of
the Senate between the years 1971 and 1972. He was one of the main
leader in the Christian Democrat Party who supported the military
intervention.
After the triumph of the concertación, the "happiness never came ",
the dictator Augusto Pinochet Ugarte was appointed General in Chief of
the Army and then, after retiring, he became a vicarious senator, as
stated in the Constitution of 1980. It was just in the year 2000 that
Senator Augusto Pinochet Ugarte was dismissed of his duties due to the
international pressure imposed triggered by his detention in London on
order of the Juzge Garzón of Spain.
The Concertación has been governing for 15 years already with the
following presidents:
1- Patricio Aylwin Azócar (1990-1994),
2- Eduardo Frei Ruiz Tagle (1994-2000),
3- Ricardo Lagos Escobar (2000-2005?)
None of these governments has been able to provide a real solution to
the human rights violation, and Pinochet still enjoyes his freedom,
despite his historical responsibility regarding the horrible events
during the dictatorship in Chile between 1973-1990.
The economical and social situation hasn't been improved, Chile is
still a country where the distribution of the wealth is unequal,
despite its macro economic growth. This neo liberal economic model
introduced during the Dictatorship, has only been perfected by the so
called democrat governments, and the social inequality increases,
situation that is already recognized by the international
organizations. The percentage of poverty in Chile is 23%.
None of these governments has really done something to abolish the
Pinochet´s Constitution, on the contrary, they use it to segregate the
popular sector and persecute those who Fig. for reviling.
Today in Chile there are still Chilean and Mapuche Political
Prisoners, with anomalous judgments, showing the contradiction between
the judicial power and the military prosecutor offices.
Holland was part of the counties that provided assistance to the
oppressed and persecuted by Pinochet´s Dictatorship.
Holland, during the Democracy transition process has increased its
commercial treaties with Chile, no doubt his is an important sep for
our countries. We consider that such interest can not be absent of
the political –social situation. We believe that it is important to
listen to the opposition, since it provides a better understanding of
the situation in the country.
We would like to meet with your organization to further discuss our
solidarity request. Also , we would like to participate in the
activity we carry our every year in September 11th in Amsterdam.
