Chile: Manifesto for sovereignty, national day of social mobilization, July 11, 2012


 "What times we live in, where we have to fight for the obvious!"

Exactly 41 years ago, a July 11, 1971, the entire Chilean people defined what it meant to use their real SOVEREIGNTY and through the legal mechanisms in place at that time, nationalized copper, our primary natural resource and cornerstone of our development, "Chile's salary". With that transcendental act we laid the material basis to carry out a quantum leap at all levels of society. This courageous decision affected U.S. interests and that of the whole of imperialism, which did not hesitate a second, in conjunction with Chile's internal reactionaries, to inflict a brutal punishment upon those who had carried out that daring act. In addition, they needed to stop the concrete progress regarding health, education, housing, land reform and other areas made by a popular and social movement on the upswing. 


July 11, 1971: Salvador Allende's speech on the nationalization of copper, in the Plaza of the Heroes of Rancagua


Today, after 39 years of life under a system imposed by blood and fire, which benefits only a handful of families, when all the gains achieved after heroic struggles have been taken away, buried, stamped out or pared down, when all Rights exist only as an ornament on a bogus and illegal Constitution, when we live in a low-intensity democracy, that counters all dissidence, that excludes the masses and protects the privileges of the few, when we see, driven by the uncontrollable appetite of the transnational corporations, a voracious escalation of their theft of our natural resources, when we suffer the effects of denationalized economy, which pays no respect to either the environment, job security or the Rights of the workforce, when we experience the impact of "cultural fadeout," where education and culture are only additions to the "bottom line," to profits, when we perceive that health and welfare and housing are nothing more than an incentive for increasing the profits of a few, we have only one path open: to unite our struggles, our forces, our dreams , our demands, in pursuit of a shared project. We know how we don't want to live, so we have to commit ourselves to coordinate our present and the future, starting now.

Exactly 41 years ago, a concrete action occurred that should oblige us to take action, in unity, to advance what is required to build our SOVEREIGNTY. This is a call to the unorganized, to trade unions, to social, political, student and neighborhood organizations, to those struggling for the right to Sexual Diversity, to retired people, to our migrant brothers and sisters, in short, to those who suffer daily the weight of this predatory economic, political and social system that excludes and marginalizes so many. It is an invitation to the unorganized, to small, medium and large organizations, to demonstrate our unwavering decision to build our SOVEREIGNTY at all levels and take concrete steps to come together to achieve that goal.

We call everyone to mobilize on JULY 11, 2012, to: Renationalize Copper, Water, Lithium, all Natural Resources. No more AFP [Administradoras de Fondos de Pensiones: private companies that administer pension funds, created in 1980, Translator’s Note]and ISAPRES [Instituciones de Salud Previsional, private health-insurance system created in 1981, Translator’s Note]. Free Health and Education. For Minimum Wage of 350,000 pesos. No more price hikes.

JULY 11, 2012: 12 NOON: PROTEST (FUNAS*) AT LOCAL SYMBOLS OF THE PREDATORY ECONOMIC-POLITICAL-SOCIAL SYSTEM.

12 NOON: SANTIAGO, PROTEST AT THE OFFICES OF CODELCO [Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile, National Copper Company of Chile]. PASEO HUÉRFANOS 1270.

7 P.M.: DEMONSTRATE AT ALL PLAZAS DE ARMAS (MAIN SQUARES) ALL OVER CHILE OR SYMBOLIC PLACES OF EACH CITY.

The success of this initiative depends on all of us who are willing to assume responsibility. We must express our outrage, demonstrating nationally, across all sectors, in a coordinated manner, that we no longer will put up with this bad life. We invite you and your organization to sign on, to commit to the action, to spread the word, to organize, prepare and participate actively.

ONLY THE STRUGGLE AND UNITY WILL MAKE US FREE!

*Funa : word (from mapudungun, the Mapuche language) designating a Chilean type of protest action that consists of "paying a visit" to criminals and torturers at their homes or where they work, making lots of noise, with banners, placard and leaflets on which the misdeeds of the "funado" are pointed. The participants explain to the criminal's neighbors or co-workers what that person has done.   The funa exists to prevent forgetting the past, to get past social indifference, to end impunity and contribute to truth, justice and true democracy.
