We, the Latin American and Caribbean communicators that comprise the continental communication networks express our solidarity with the Bolivian people currently fighting against the neo-liberal policy that are taking place in that country and that we have been facing in our
respective countries for so long.

We repel the militarization and the repressive policy of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada's government ordering to shoot against the population, causing up to now, around 70 deaths.

We follow our Bolivian sisters and brothers in their claim for a political solution that asks for the stepping down of the current President. We call for the construction of a true democracy in Latin America; one that will not increase poverty and the denationalisation of
our economies but one based on peace and justice, as well as on the respect for life and for people's rights and the participation of the citizens in the main decision-making.

We congratulate the communicators from the various organisations engaged in the cause of citizenship, who have been playing a fundamental role to raise a voice in favor of justice, to assert democracy and to defend human rights, at a crucial time. We therefore express our solidarity to our Bolivian journalist colleagues who are suffering the effects of repression, especially those members of Radio PIO XII and Televisión Universitaria that have been victims of military intervention.

We invite all our associates on the continent and the communicators all over the world to start an informative campaign with the purpose of letting the world know about the attempts against human rights and the just aspirations of the Bolivian people.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Quebec City collective: no longer exist.

Get involved !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
