People’s Summit Chile 2013 Proposes Strategic Horizon

Santiago de Chile, Jan 27 (Prensa Latina) People’s Summit Chile 2013, which was attended by hundreds of social groups, concluded today with a call to move from claim movements to an alternative that contains a comprehensive country social and political proposal.

 

In its final statement, the Forum convened citizenship to be able to build demands that gather all social actors and peoples in dispute, and at the same time to allow drawing a strategic horizon toward progress, articulating unity of the labor, social and political movement in Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.

“This should result in a roadmap and demonstrations for this period, but with long-term prospects,” the document states.

Santiago, Chile – The meeting held sessions in parallel with the Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European Union (EU), and the forum CELAC, also held in this capital. 

 

The declaration states that the rights and natural assets seized from the people must be recovered, through nationalization, and community distribution of goods and services, means of production and the constitutional recognition of nature as a subject of law.

The event, which for three days took place at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Chile, expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people and all peoples and nations oppressed by the colonizing power and imperialism, and the repudiation to civic-military interventions in Honduras, Haiti and Paraguay.

It also expressed solidarity with the Cuban people against the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States for more than 50 years, and with Argentina in the process of recovering the Falkland Islands.

In its final declaration, the people�s summit supported the demand of Bolivia to an access to the sea, and in the case of Chile, to the student movement to defend public and free education, and to Mapuche people against repression by the State.

The text claims that natural assets, rights and people have been commodified in nations and peoples of Latin America, Europe and the Caribbean, as a result of the capitalist logic, which in its neoliberal and macho side allows its installation and deepening through civic, political and military schemes.

Participants agreed, among other things, to go forward in building platform for the communication fight that not only allow to uncover and disseminate the demands and alternatives of the people against the hegemonic model, but also as a way to explain the true causes of the problems they suffered.
