Declaration Frente Popular Darío Santillán
to the elections on 28 June.
If you go to vote, no votes against the people.
not vote against yourself / a.
Before and after the June 28
Unite, Organize, fight. I built
popular power.
On June 28, again there national elections. The chances of winning alternatives are conducted by political parties that represent the interests of the people.
The government, led by PJ-FPV Kirchner increasingly tied to political and trade union bureaucracy, including one of the Peronist right figures of 90, Daniel Scioli. Neodevelopmentalist cutting its policy primarily benefits the exporters of natural resources such as oil companies, mines, barns, and secondly, some industry groups that live forever tied to state subsidies, with all the people they maintains its rate of profit.
As part of a global crisis that is sweeping the world and we're paying the workers, Argentina is no exception to the rule of all countries of the mestizo, rich "resources." In the international division of labor mandated by the powerful, Our American territories are intended to penetration and plunder by transnational corporations, mainly American and European. And the government "national and popular" policy encourages this, both from their provincial governments and from offices that aim to sell out the country in the world. Just see how they are made Argentine exports and the role of different economic sectors in them, to observe the new colonialism, who does not care that much about the speeches, but how much benefit particular state policies.
Refusing to face the possibility of the crisis with measures for the people, the government chooses to deal with claims employers: the idea is to have a high dollar, which blend the "wage costs" to make them more competitive (to them), while keeping jobs in conditions poor, to ensure that any labor rights will hinder the needs of capital, if the rate of profit falls and you have to fire, suspend or cut wages, well done. In business strategy, precarious plays a central role in the task of dividing the labor force, disciplining the factory. And those who remain outside, as surplus of useful work for the system, it is years and years to follow plans social equivalent of crumbs, which are devalued every day and show the cynicism of the ruling class: they are not even able to universalize that minimal assistance, first of all, is divided among its leading clientele.
foreignizers and the people, the pattern of looting and low wages is shared (and more) by the figures of the opposition right, represented by the Peronist and Radical impresentable back together after the debacle of 2001. The right is to deepen the model, strengthening ties with imperialism, shaking the theme of "insecurity" to emphasize repression and giving even greater assurance business for a few settled in the hunger of millions.
As part of this network, it is natural that their ranks are responsible for the murder of Dario Santillan and Maximiliano Kosteki in the Slaughter of Avellaneda, who tried to meet the demand of economic power, the Association of Banks, the Rural Society - to put order on June 26, 2002. Felipe Solá and Alfredo Atanasof, until members of the government minutes "national and popular", are now candidates for the top of the list of PRO Union, behind which lies, as is widely known, although neither is mentioned in media monopoly, the very Eduardo Duhalde.
The Government and the rightist opposition essentially share the output of the economic crisis must be to benefit large companies: "national" (eg Techint, Arcor) and abroad (Mercedes Benz, Peugeot-Citroen, Ford, among others). For more than a speech or another - some even very nationalistic! - Agree that first you have to subsidize capitalists because it benefits later (long after) they would spill over the people. Recipes we know too well how they end: the rich leaking currencies, the poor paying the price increases. Thus their political ends downloading the effects of the crisis on working people, through (lower) real wages (high) regressive taxes continues to fund the party of the few getting richer.
However, Kirchner propaganda "acts as if" they were diametrically opposed models. The government asks us to confront the useful vote advancing right. We still remember when we were asked vote climb useful to prevent Angeloz, who came "with the red pencil to cross state expenditures," and won Menem. We remember also when we called for the vote did not win useful for Duhalde, "the Vice President Menem ", and climbed De La Rua. We believe that this is not just about changing a necklace, but something more important.
why we say clearly: If you go to vote, do not do it for those who will implement policies against you, do not vote to Kirchner and his allies provincial or right-wing opposition expressed in partnerships Macri, Solá, Duhalde and de Narváez or between Carrio, the UCR and López Murphy.
And the popular? Do not have to stand for election?
The scenario seems to be complicated, because the sectors of workers hardly going to go after these elections favored. All are armed to legitimize a model that you keep the level of inequality, or at least make corrections "by right", deepening poverty and social insecurity in which the majority of the population.
Of course, there are also political forces of left and center-left to present their candidates in these elections, and do not believe are all the same. We recognize many of these forces comrades honest, but do not agree that the dispute on the same terms with the hegemonic parties to help secure crucial changes for the people. For this reason, at this stage we decided to focus all of our efforts to continue to generate grassroots organization and coordination among the popular sectors that we built to transform the unjust reality.
is not a matter of principle, nor do we believe that all political and election times are equal. The underlying problem here is that, as a people, we have failed the accumulation of power and influence necessary to intervene on our behalf in an institutional level where the rules of the game set the dominant classes. We face a disadvantage a system in which "democracy" is only an act of choice of who will rule without complying with the popular mandate without meeting the interests of workers, ruling in effect for those who hold real power in society. So build popular power is also encouraging other democracy: from the people, direct participation and assembly-revocable mandates and where those elected, be "obeying" the people, not economic power.
Argentina
The situation contrasts sharply with that of fraternal countries, where the people, as part of a struggle that goes beyond institutional, also occupies these spaces. Just to mention as an example the case of Bolivia, where electoral instrument was created by social movements after long process of struggle and accumulation of forces, a process that included uprisings and political crises in which the people achieved decisive victories, as the water war.
With many social and political forces surely we shall always find in the various struggles in neighborhoods and workplaces and study. Positions in this situation may be different: candidates themselves vote, abstain, vote white. Also the proposed vote, as promoted by Another Way to Overcome Crisis, the space in which we participate coordinating with groups and movements from different sectors. What critical at this stage, it seems, is to be clear the need to build unity in the actual fight. We work for the elections will not divide the resistance to adjustment policies. Policies already started and only promises to be worse.
We believe that after June 28 will open a scenario that will require the most extensive mobilization and unity of the people to resist those policies that seek to dominate us yet. Policies that aim to download the crisis on the backs of workers will be more obvious. We need to organize from below and join together to recover the assets of our territory, goods that have a direct effect in the lives of the working classes. We must strive to address the firings and suspensions, for wages and against precarious, for decent working conditions. We have to get social security so that all families, getting jobs and those that do not have a plate of food on the table. We have to have health, education, housing, justice. To achieve this we need to start generating the bonds that unite us with our / os peers. We must do more grassroots organization can put us in another situation of power. And beyond these elections, our peers are men and women who fight for other present and one future.
For all this, if you decide to vote, we propose that, as a first step, do not vote for candidates who will end up ruling against the people. And before and after June 28: Unite, Organize, fight. Among all people build popular power.
Only unity and organization will be setting the stage for another reality for everyone. Unit
