Mobilisatie FSP Paraguay bloedig neergeslagen La Soja Mata - 14.11.2008 03:56
Duizenden boeren demonstreerden van 4-6 november op vele plaatsen in Paraguay, met de eis dat de huidige rechterlijke macht vervangen wordt, die de boerenbewegingen onderdrukt en criminaliseert. De sociale bewegingen eisen een einde aan de arrestaties, en een concreet antwoord op de ernstige crisis op het platteland, door middel van een nood-aktieplan voor landhervorming. With the start of the new soy season, tension and conflicts are increasing in Paraguay. In the new political context, social movements are increasing pressure for what they have been fighting for, especially land reform and food sovereignty. Changes are visible, such as the change in the direction of the national land reform institute, INDERT. Nevertheless repression of the campesino movement continues, as recent events like the violent evictions of land occupations and the assassination of campesino leader Bienvenido Melgarejo on October 4th prove. An international team of LaSojaMata is currently filming and documenting various events, reflecting this new political conjuncture and the seize of conflicts in Paraguay. A series of video reports is being produced, which are listed below and are added continuously. See: www.lasojamata.org E-Mail: lasojamata@aseed.net Website: http://www.lasojamata.org, www.aseed.net |
