More than five hundred people they mobilized this Saturday 21 of November in the streets of Bern, to de facto denounce to the Government in Honduras and the elections summoned in that Central American country for Sunday 29 of November.

The demonstrators, between which there were numerous Latin American residents in Switzerland, called to the Helvetica and European authorities, as well as to the international community to not know the elections summoned for the last Sunday of the month to which they caratularon of “illegal”, “armored”, ““undemocratic” neon-coup participants” and.

The march, that left from one of the central places of the capital, went soon to the Embassy of Brazil to conclude in front of the Embassy of the United States of America.

There, a telephone contact with Tegucigalpa with one of the people in charge of the Front of the Resistance, transmitted by loudspeakers, allowed the demonstrators to receive in direct from Honduras the last information.

In the same place a tribute to the victims of the Coup d’etat was realized of 28 of June, reading itself, aloud, the names of the assassinated ones by the repression. With an answer in unison: “present”! and applause in memory of the victims.

More than ever, active international solidarity

“It is our roll to be spokesman of whom they undergo persecution and to demand the respect of the human rights” in Honduras, it emphasized Karl Heuberger, person in charge for Central America of the HEKS, NGO of cooperation of the evangelical churches.

Heuberger, that participated in the national manifestation in Bern, considers that it is “our responsibility like Churches, Christians and people of good will to accompany to which they defend the human rights”.

The Honduran town “aspires to the freedom of expression and to the respect of the fundamental rights”, it emphasized.

And in that sense, “the originating expressions of concrete solidarity from Switzerland and of all Europe are comforting for the democratic movement and our counterparts in that country”.

Active solidarity with which Gerald Fioretta also agrees, member of the Association of Solidarity Nicaragua – El Salvador of Geneva, one of the organizations that the manifestation in Bern organized.

“It is our intention to give visibility him to the Front of Resistance in Honduras… It is very important our Honduran groups of comrades to know that throughout the world a dynamic solidarity exists that retakes its own vindications and it makes know before mass media and the Governments”, emphasized.

They demand “coherence” to Europe

Summarizing the echoes of the Honduran crisis in Switzerland and Europe during last the five months, Fioretta states that “the resistance of the Honduran town has been almost totally ignored in mass media, by the political class and the Governments”.

And it anticipates his hope that “the next week appears a motion in the Swiss Parliament forcing the Government to take a clear position in favor of President Manuel Belay and of the Front from Resistance”.

“He is essential that does not know the elections that the regime de facto summons for Sunday 29 of November in Honduras”, it questions Dieter Drüssel, coordinator of Secretariado Central America (ZAS), the one of the more active Helvetica associations in the denunciation and mobilization against the blow.

Druses anticipates its preoccupation by the attitude of Switzerland and the European Union around the elections of the last Sunday of November, to that it describes as “illegal”.

It is probable “that the European governments, as well as the United States leaves running to recognize the new coup d’etat mentality that will arise from those “armored” elections, fixed and with outlawing”, emphasizes.

“If it is confirmed such attitude would fall in a still more evident complicity with the Coup d’etat of June and its later process”, notices Druses.

Who it emphasizes, additionally, the “ambiguity” from the American Government in all the Honduras case, which constitutes one of the essential factors so that the crisis in that Central American country is not solved”.

Ambiguity that is expressed in the “rhetorical support of Washington to the restitution of president Belay… and, at the same time, in the acceptance in fact of the coup participants and its call to elections…”

And so it happens in Honduras, “the Obama Administration unmasks definitively”, emphasizes the coordinator of Swiss solidarity. Who proposes a subtle reading and in key of this aggression arboreta to Central America, right “after the electoral victory of the FMLN in El Salvador in March last, and right when the region inclined, mainly, in favor of an independent policy”.

The Blow in Honduras, insists, “goes in the line of the increasing aggressions against the DAWN, the active American presence military in Colombia, the destabilization in increase against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua, the military-political wall that try to construct with electoral victories of the type of which it occurred in Panama and which they hope that they are repeated in Chile, Argentina and mainly in Brazil”

Systematic violation of human rights

Although the numbers vary according to the sources, since the Coup d’etat took place more than 20 people were assassinated by the official repression, hundredth wounded and thousand lengthy ones.

Amnesty International, that it has predicted to send a mission to Honduras from the 24 of November, finishes sending to an urgent action in favor of the journalist Luis Glades that presents/displays the program “After the Truth” in Radio Globe and was threatened of death.

The aggression against competing mass media, is systematic and goes from the individual threat to the workers of the press to the straightforward closing of these means.

By the end of September, Amnesty International published a document that put record of the “increase of the police beatings and the massive halting of demonstrators, as well as of the acts of intimidation against defenders and defenders of human rights”, noticing “that the fundamental rights and the State of right are in danger serious in this Central American country”.

In last October, the Committee of Relatives of Prisoners Disappeared of Honduras (CONFIDE) presented/displayed its second Report entering 4,234 cases of violation of human rights reported by this organization, from the Blow to the 15 of October. Among them, 3033 halting, of which 475 victims underwent cruel tortures or treatments.

The holders of newspapers, reporters and other forms of spreading bet to the “total amnesia”; the clock paused in the morning to the 5:40 of the 28 of June; the deeds are an abstraction of which nobody speech; the brutal repression is only perceived if evidences look for; the selective political murders happen without much racket, they do not pass of notes or journalistic appointments that never they look for to investigate thoroughly; that it has left, properly, to the police.

Already for short while president Belay, has been the president “demoted”, “overthrown” and other adjectives the past locate that it in politician of the minds manipulated by means. On the contrary, the pressure is increased on the public saying to him of thousand forms that the blow was a celestial blessing and that the “carrier” is something as well as an emissary of the good.

Now all speak of reconciliation between the Hondurans. They make votes so that the new government “cures” the wounds, left by the “political crisis”. Peculiar as they change name to him to so many things. Which are the wounds that want to cure? Then really what they are doing it is playing that the time does its work in the conscious group so that the ungovernability danger finishes.

The blow in all their magnitude, including the elections, is an offense of incalculable proportions for the Honduran town. Their consequences will persecute to us for a long time, if we right now do not do something by our own destiny. Great part of our town by far followed the events from the blow, trusting more the possible “normalization” that in the fight by the collective well-being; that phenomenon now hangs like a terrible curse on our future.

The reasons for the coup detach, in case it has forgotten somebody it, are essentially economic. The other interests, including the politicians, come derivatives from them. The delinquents who caused the blow (not its executors), saw as a too near threat the possibility that the popular majorities had the option to decide on their interests.

Also the economic and strategic interests of the foreign empire, that it looks for to control a zone that, under the present correlation of forces enter game, can, more early than behind schedule, to be of capital importance for their own subsistence. Yanks has not stopped not one moment to fight against the interests of the Latin American towns whenever them they have been adverse.

Six months after the sly attack to the national democracy, the hour arrives to pass the invoice to “skinny” the Honduran State. With the price that must pay, it only can lower more of weight, to the limit of his existence. The executors of the collection have aligned the pieces throughout this time in which “they distracted” garrotes to us. The last aim of pseudo industrialists is to undo of the controls that the State imposes to them.

It brings about commotion to see as after all they continue arguing that there is to generate “favorable” conditions to the investment; that our competitiveness is in the thin wages that are pleased; that the exports of monocultures are the route towards the development; that the best energy is of private origin. All these things already put in practice and nonstop nothing; the question is how we can continue believing these lies after as much suffering?

The most propitious victims of the new neoliberal wave in Honduras are the companies on watch public. The electrical energy faces an imminent total privatization during a fictitious crisis that already is prepared. So far they have carried out a public limitation of renewable energy to a price greater than the one of the thermal energy that at the moment we consumed.

The majority of the involved ones in this wonderful business is the same that are been in the middle of the generation of thermal energy. It is probable that the life utility of its generating park comes near to its aim and have I decide that is time to enter by the route of the renewable resources. In this business all the sectors are practically implied to be able economic in the country, including the banks, the importers of derivatives of petroleum, the distributors of equipment and much more.

He is impressive to realize that in the limitation is accepted that the Company National de Electrical Energies buys the renewable energy by more than 30 million annual dollars over which pays by the thermal energy. Who in its healthy judgment makes east type of concession? Probably the subject is in which the EPEE will absorb variable the fixed costs and of him construction stage; or the price is inflated to pay the interests of the bank. It is difficult to say.

Another thing lasts is like the EPEE, that was in process of financial cleaning at the time of the blow, today makes concessions to great companies so that they produce his own energy, when these are the consuming majors of the service of this company; besides being the historical indebted majors.

Two fingers are not needed front to de facto know that these measures initiated by the government that, surely, will be intensified by part II of the same from the 27 of January; they would take to the electrical company by a precipice along with the Honduran town that will be the unique apportion of capital to the same. This made worse by the inevitable devaluation of the national currency.

Briefly the energy is valued to higher price Before the mechanics of monetary sliding begins to affect the fuel import and other goods that influence in the electrical generation; that it will be paid in lempira by the population.

In the Honduran Company of Telecommunications we faced a similar destiny. Their attempts of incursion in the cellular telephony will be closed and their little infrastructure given like “booty military” for the companies of communications that of form it asks for supported the coup detach. The services of fixed telephony will remain in Bonduel hands, with this heartbroken by the intense competition of the private companies and lack of capital to maintain the use technological.

It is very difficult to suppose that the movements that become in Bonduel are going to go to the benefit of the clients. Worse still, its condition of company will harm state it in the area of the tariffs, since it will have to polarizer the positions to the public. We do not forget that the competition of the telephony fixes has multiplied and is acquired in dollars at present by all the companies of the private sector.

The relative advantage that tapeworm this company thanks to the monopoly of the fixed telephony, that was tried to expand to areas of competition like service of television by cable, cellular telephony and data transmission, have disappeared from the moment which the companies of the competition have become partly of the “rescuers” of the company.

We do not have to forget that immediately after the blow, personnel of MULLION, company related to the Televicentro group, it replaced by several days the employees of Bonduel in administrative and technical tasks. The blow to milliard was giving an incredible advantage him to the sector deprived in a business that they themselves, the military, used like source enrichment during decades.

And if we are going to speak of the water, this subject already is completed. The foundations for the privatization of the water sources have been laid the by means of legislative decree. The intention: at your service to put of the industrialized countries the water of healthy sources to industrialized countries. They have tried it to this to include in deal with the European Union.

The European pressure by the “democracy” in Honduras is a facade to be able to culminate the negotiations with Central America. This probably delays by a time the development in the privatization of this valuable resource, but this does not exclude the possibility that the first initiatives very early in 2010 occur.

We have in front of us a monster of thousand heads that it tries to prevail to us of everything I show of civilization; a monster for which the death of our children means only statistical, damages collaterals; an unscrupulous monster for which everything has price; everything is sold and everything is bought; a monster that maintains good purchases between the national political class.

After the 28 of June we were united in a single voice to demand the restitution of the democracy; by the return of the president; by the Constituent National Assembly. Today we must deepen these fights, and have present that this cause takes of by means our same existence.

If today we did not define a fight strategy reason why it belongs to us, surely the day is not distant in which we have to do the catastrophic effects of this barbarism which today we see with amazing passivity. This it is not a subject of the resistance, but of all the Hondurans, although, in fact, it will be the resistance the one guides that us in the defense of some flags.

Evidently, the effort that we will have to take ahead in the New Year will be infinitely greater to the one than we put in this 2009. These rotten beasts are not going to stop until being able to privatize the breath to us. The answer to this cannot less be; it is imperative to ahead take this fight from already.

Still a general strike for half-full fits the doubt to me on the possibility of raising to Wolf Soda to him of January, I am convinced that many reasons to ahead take this and other movements of pressure against these monstrosities exist.

This statement was discussed in six working groups for 84 participants, organized by the OPIATE, COPAL, 20 March 2010 in Mirada, Venezuela.

Mother Earth has been evolving 4,500,000,000 years ago, based on biotic factors, then incorporated into its dynamics and biotic elements at the present time we are interconnected with them, causing great changes that have altered many natural processes, which against us are reversing it, which leads to the human species could disappear. So the earth will continue to evolve with or without us to the extent that we disturb the equilibrium ecosphere. For this reason the organized social movements and organizations in Mirada, Venezuela, March 20, 2010 a National Summit on climate change and the rights of Mother Earth to make a declaration to be submitted to the World Conference of Peoples Climate Change and the Rights of the Mother Earth in Cochabamba, Bolivia from 19 to April 22, 2010, in this statement is proposed rights of Mother Earth and the duties or obligations of the human species for these rights to ensure continuity of human beings in the process of changing it.

In the context of the emerging rights of Mother Earth (Pachamama):

We recognize:

“The need to understand that climate change is an opportunity to further deepen the catalog of human rights so far recognized as rights of first, second and third generation. “In light of the foregoing, the human species should now have more rights obligations towards Mother Earth.

“The condition of the rights of Mother Earth ultimately realize the emerging rights of future generations (Tran generational character) now mainly converted obligations of current generations.

“The emerging notion of collective rights is founded on the same clothing that makes Mother Earth as a new subject of law through which are guaranteed for future generations.

“An Ecological World Court would base the duty to develop strategies and implement actions in which there is a reversal of the burden of proof as to the impact on Planet Earth can cause a specific human activity. In this regard, the Court would have jurisdiction to enforce even its own initiative and without trial sanctions on companies, states, corporations and individuals, based on the real and effective application of the precautionary principle contained in dubious pro natural in the Declaration of Principles of the Summit Earth 1992 (Rio Summit). Words that could punish and suspend, where necessary, the participation and expansion of large corporations, multinational and transnational primary responsibility for the consequences of climate change in policies, plans and programs for agricultural projects current-production, public and private.

Premises for a catalog of Rights of Mother Earth:

The recognition of Mother Earth as a rights holder that existed before the existence of mankind, necessarily entails the transformation from the traditional concept of right subject to an anthropocentric view of nature intervention.

1 .- The rights of Mother Earth include all the human rights enshrined and even those who are not expressly mentioned.

2 .- In this sense, the emerging rights of Mother Earth and would be the result of the conjunction of a set of new rights of future generations that are configured on obligations of present generations.

3 .- The new subject of law is Mother Earth, but the general interest or diffuse involving exercise, nothing prevents these rights have to be more specific target men and women that can be erected in his name.

4 .- The nature of legal subjects acting on behalf of Mother Earth, do it with a very specific purpose: to avoid any activity that endangers the good life, Metro first and then the human species.

5 .- The most important premise of the rights of Mother Earth it is the territorial nature of the same, i.e., every space rich in biological diversity and cultural (tangible and intangible) gives content to the rights of Mother Earth. That would be the territorial nature of the emerging rights.

6 .- Under the above, territorial rights are those that are granted to indigenous peoples and communities, rural communities and rural and local communities or any other, to be erected on behalf of Mother Earth to promote action Justice to seek care and good living.

7 .- The rights of Mother Earth are developed and configured through land rights, which would be the complementarily of indigenous rights, the rights of farmers or the rights of other social groups that require the territory of the land and resources to ensure their own on-experience.

8 .- The rights of the Mother Earth would fall into the category of rights which we have called emerging collective rights. These are intended to ensure the commons (public) of humanity, to preserve life on Earth and Planet and the continuity of the human species.

9 .- The notion of emergence of collective rights, is based on the idea of the emergence of new social actors also subject to new rights emerging. But the idea is manifested in the establishment along with the rights, obligations to future generations, but above all, commitment to Mother Earth. The exercise here is inseparable right to the fulfillment of an obligation.

10 .- One of the central aspects of these rights is that both his tenure as its materialization occurs bottom-up “, i.e. from the very subjects of rights. A subject of law is he to whom it may concern a rule which establishes rights and obligations. Accordingly, a subject of law is also the recipient of a rule

11 .- The exercise of these emerging collective rights can also occur through the definition and implementation of public policies “from below” which would become a tool and a mechanism for the exercise of rights under national and international level.
