A water justice also joined the national and international events to remember the bombing and invasion of Libya, the nuclear disaster Japan, the recent shameful Obama's visit and of course, the corporate plunder of our natural resources.
17:50 in the Park Valparaiso Italy members Partner Network Environmental the area was seized by despair, because the call to mark World Water Day had arrived only "a couple of ragamuffins."
Fortunately, in less than five minutes, the situation changed radically, and displaying paintings of "No to Nuclear Energy", "an Obama Change by Evo" and "No more looting, water is for everyone", 18 years ago General Assembly of UN declared water as a basic right. However, the commercial exploitation of resources natural by transnational corporations and makes the water today is not a right but a commodity, foreign firms hand once more profit from basic needs and the wealth of mother earth.
Therefore, more than 500 people bowed to the mobilization of World Water Day in Valparaiso , traveling from Italy to the park outside the Administration Regional , claiming that both the dictatorship military and the governments of the Concertación and right have been proponents of the privatization of this basic right, removing the Chilean people's sovereignty over the natural resources, leaving the market will use this asset. These logic libremercantiles are those who have contributed not only to desertification of vast areas of the country but also to environmental pollution.
Examples there are lots and continue to appear. Without going any further, here in Valparaiso Codelco's Andina division and division Angloamerican The Soldier, have an excessive use of water, causing shortages in the area and currently agricultural emergency decreed Petorca Ligua , Cabildo, Zapallar Putaendo, Nogales and Papudo, San Esteban, Calle Larga, in the province of San Felipe the communities of Santa Maria, San Felipe, Catemu and Llay Llay, in Quillota, Hijuelas, La Calera and Quillota; and n Marga Marga Province Limache communes, and Olmué Quilpué; also in the province of Valparaiso in the towns of Casablanca and Concón, and finally in the province of San Antonio the communities of San Antonio and Santo Domingo.
"The waters will be recovered stolen" was one of the central cries chanted more than 500 participants, suggesting clearly the reason for the call: water is the source of life, a human right, a social and natural, should not be commercialized or privatized. Finally, assuming the hidden source after the mega power projects, Partner Network Valparaiso Environmental accused " the authorities and media lie to the public through the media campaign on the energy crisis in Chile and denies The argument to reduce home energy consumption. The real and biggest consumer of energy in our country is the large-scale mining.
And so, with a massive cultural event that featured artists familiar city as Giant Puppet Company "Mache Dreams", the collective Revolution of Spoon, Claudio Martinez, among others, and a gust of wind reminded us beginning of fall, ending the commemoration of World Water Day with a very clear message: we need a change in the constitution, and for this, the "united people" should stop being just one verse of a song.
