Local group battles the World Bank and the IMF in the Gazette
The Social Justice Committee (SJC) of Montreal, a local group concerned with issues of economic justice and human rights, recently took its campaign against Third World Debt to the pages of the Montreal Gazette. In an article entitled "World Bank should stop acting like a loan shark", the SJC's Derek MacCuish takes the World Bank and the IMF to task over its failure to cancel the largely unpayable debts of poor countries.
In his response, "Poor countries don't want more debt relief", an IMF official claims that poor countries support the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility, source of the infamous "Structural Adjustment Programs" that have decimated health and education spending and led to a massive wave of privatization in indebted countries - and that they prefer this to giving "free rides" to countries with overlarge debts.
A charge that is countered by MacCuish, who writes in his reply that "Calls for debt relief are loud" - referring not only to the large network of organizations around the world dedicated to the elimination of Third World Debt, but also to the leaders of African countries that the IMF would suggest "don't want" debt relief.

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.
