>From: "ILC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Globalization will not succeed in Colombia! >Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2000 19:46:13 +0200 >Communiqu� of the International Leninist Current: > > Successful Day of International Protests against the visit of Clinton in >Colombia > >Different organizations from all over the world mobilized to hold rallies at >30th of August in order to protest against the visit of Bill Clinton in >Colombia and his plan of intervention, the �Plan Colombia�. For the >organizations, which provoked the construction of a broad Anti-imperialist >Camp against capitalist globalization at the final of the Meeting against >Globalization in Assisi, this Day of international Struggle was an important >test, because it showed its capacity to answer on an international level to >colonialism and militarism of globalization: More than 40 organizations � >from India to the Arab World, Latin America and United States � supported >the mobilizations and the call, that was spread by the organizations of the >Anti-imperialist Camp. This strong international mobilization could not even >be ignored by the globalized media. They had to recognize the growing >opposition against the imperial dictatorship of the USA and their allies, >which is not only rising within Latin America but in all parts of the world. >Neither the daily propaganda of the �fight against drug trafficking� nor the >show of Clinton, who kissed children in Cartage and seemed to care about the >problems of the poor, could cover the protests of the majority against, the >�Plan Colombia�, which means a new attack on the sovereignty of the peoples. >The experiences from Panama, Iraq an Yugoslavia have proved clearly, that >these �humanitarian, peace-bringing acts done with generous support from the >West� are nothing more than the neoliberal cover of the colonial campaign of >the IMF, the Worldbank and the WTO, behind the arms of NATO an USA. > >The relation between drug-traffic, paramilitarism, the Columbian oligarchy >and the geo-political as well as economical interests of the USA can only be >ignored by those who willingly believe the infamous lies of the western >media. The peoples on the contrary suffer every day the reality of >globalization with its horrible social inequality, its excluding >elite-democracy, its common violence of every intensity and its general >negation of the people� rights of sovereignty, self-determination and an >identity different from the dominant US-way of thinking and culture. In all >those countries which have been already victims of the political-military >and social attacks of imperialist globalization, the necessary solidarity >with the Columbian people and his liberation movement as well as the >rejection of the Plan Colombia doesn�t require any explanation as it is at >the same time a self-defense against a common and global acting enemy. > >In this sense the experience of the International Day of Protests against >Clinton�s visit to Colombia � the political-military actions of the >Colombian guerilla movement, the mass mobilizations of the worker�s, peasant >�s and student�s organizations and those of the anti-imperialist and >solidarity movement, the honest human rights� associations and the >revolutionary left parties � have shown that there is coming up step by step >an radical network, where the different expressions of protests against >globalization are linking and coming together in solidarity. In this long, >hard and intransigent fight, first expressed in a spectacular form in >Seattle, than making an important step forward in its organization in Assisi >and now succeeding in a significant practical test like the International >Day of Protests against the Plan Colombia, an anti-imperialist camp will be >forged again on an international scale. > >That�s why our international initiative of Assisi has strengthened itself >with the International day of Fight against Clintons visit to Colombia and >his Plan Colombia and advanced in his main task to give to this >anti-imperialist camp in development an organized and unifying structure. > >Down with the Plan Colombia! >Support the Guerrilla and people�s movement in Colombia! >Forward in the construction of the international anti-imperialist camp >against globalization! > >Permanent Bureau of the ILC >Vienna-Rome, 2nd September 2000 > >*************************************** >International Leninist Current (ILC) >Corriente Leninista Internacional (CLI) >PF 23, A-1040 Wien, Austria >Tel & Fax +43 1 504 00 10 >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >www.comports.com/ilc >www.antiimperialista.com > > _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
