all know that Joaquín Pérez Becerra, director of the alternative news agency Anncol, is a survivor of the fateful Dance Red with which Colombian oligarchy killed almost all of the mayors and communist politicians of the Patriotic Union of Colombia. He was a councilor for the UP, knowing the risks involved. He killed his wife and 5,000 partners. These arrangements are not new in the dirty war in Colombia. There, the DAS, an organization of "intelligence" blackmail, torture and persecution, has been reported nationally and internationally for carrying out thousands of baseless accusations, in a country where judges and lawyers living chronicle of a death foretold, as reflected Gabriel García Márquez.
never
fighters in Latin America against the violation of human rights promoted the slogan "never again" to such acts against human rights and massacres against humanity. Although some feel uncomfortable, defend life and the rights of journalist Joaquín Pérez Becerra is defending the right to justice, international procedural rules can not be individual governments. Is to defend the lives and safety of hundreds of social activists and revolutionaries who were forced to leave their countries, persecuted by dictatorships and repressive governments, to seek shelter elsewhere. Many Latin Americans in Venezuela found a place to continue their struggle and join the contsrucción of a new model of social justice, inclusion and equity. It seems that today no guarantee their safety.
is true: we must not fall into the trap of the Colombian right, its objectives have nothing to do with humanism, socialism or social justice model, only reflect the power and interests of the oligarchy, its equipment and its main partner, the U.S. government. But neither can we be silent, arguing that it weakens the Bolivarian government. Ernesto Villegas, editor of Ccs City, said that on the plane that brought the director of Anncol from Frankfurt came, planted as passengers, Colombian police officers under the umbrella of Interpol, who were under the gun to his goal. Santos called President Hugo Chávez With just two hours before landing. Even gave the number of seats occupied by a "bird" about to call at Maiquetía.
No doubt more could have warned him in advance, but would not give him time to think or react. I wanted it with the hot potato in his hands. Even after the arrest in Maiquetía, Minister of Defense of Colombia telephoned Venezuelan Interior minister, Tarek El Aissami, to say "have it." In Caracas did not know who was the passenger or what was coming.
The Venezuelan government statement Becerra Perez does not mention by name and only refers to crimes attributed Colombia. It was Jose Obdulio Gaviria, a cousin Paul Bonnet Escobar and Alvaro Uribe adviser, who gave light to Twitter about the detainee's identity and its role in Anncol. Interpol did not stop Pérez Becerra in Sweden for Swedish nationality. Could do in Frankfurt, Germany, but the move was to engage Chavez said Villegas, who said that the capture request to Interpol allegedly made on 20 April. But a particular search in the Internet page of Interpol, held earlier this week, proved fruitless. Interpol not forget, was the body used for a "certification" of the computer of Raul Reyes, a magic hat from which exit the "evidence" against Perez Becerra and who knows how many more people. Interpol is the same that drew from his list of "wanted" for fugitive Venezuelan bankers.
The operation was intended, and did, put Chavez in the choice of giving or not the "bird." According to a PSUV leader quoted by Villegas, "We fell into a trap and could not pull back. A trap to help assemble the FARC and their friends who have infiltrated to the core, with its follies. They are not elected. We yes. They have no respect for legality. We do, we are the government. "
Ethics, principles
Franklin Ledesma, Panamanian journalist and writer, notes that give the government of Colombia to the journalist, not only goes against the revolutionary ethics, not only breaks the minimum standards of the Bolivarian ideal socialist internationalism, but also constitutes a serious political and strategic error. Comrade Hugo Chavez and the process he leads are greatly weakened. The enemy knows that you can now go back for more. If the hand is folded, can now break the elbow. Chavez's words did not clarify much: "We call even the plane and, indeed, we knew coming into the seat where Mr. He got in Maiquetía and captured. And surrender to Cuba to Chávez Abarca, deliver this man to Colombia. The responsibility lies with this man. "What was the knowledge that they were requesting? Who invited him here? Who rode in a trap? We were hunting. Everyone knew it was coming, to the CIA. Movements are infiltrators, "he said.
For" deported ", the aim of" this mess is the criminalization of alternative media, closing a voice that is against Colombian government and force people to speak evil of a terrorist government. That's the goal. "Indeed, the National Association of Free and Alternative Community Media in Venezuela, said that the deportation" generate a crack in the confidence of the millions who build from below, collective group, community council to community council, movement to movement, socialism and beautiful country. "
Another thing is the attitude of" political representative "Perez Becerra believes he was the Communications Minister Andres Izarra. No representative of the migration or asked the Venezuelan government citizenship by Joaquín Pérez. It seems they were not even interested in knowing, Perez himself says in the interview from prison, despite having the Swedish passport and identity card in hand. Izarra, who then censored information with Joaquin partnership for public transport, already had a version written and published in his "twitter" just an hour after the arrest at the airport in Maiquetía, saying that Perez was a Colombian national.
Joachim, the "Swedish"
The truth is that "the Swede" had Becerra Pérez visited Venezuela on several occasions. Carlos Casanueva, Secretary General of the Continental Bolivarian Movement, said that Perez Becerra had visited the country in December 2009 as part of the foundation of the MCB, an event which attracted more than 1,300 international delegates. And then in December 2010 when he formed the Bolivarian Association of Business Communicators (ABC).
For those who have tried to explain that Chavez had no choice, the trap was mounted, but it is not clear by whom and what was complicit in Venezuela. For them, now, the left should know Joaquin is a martyr necessary for the survival of the Bolivarian process. As Martin said Guédez be a martyr to save our revolution is a privilege and an honor for every revolutionary fighter. Ivan says Maiza, in a note published on the website of Telesur, the leftist movement possibly infiltrated by "some comrades" or some "revolutionary party" has ventured plans to sabotage the strategies presented by the Commander. "Even riding comrades traps?, Comrades who do not accept that the commander made the decision to approach Santos and are willing to do anything to" break the trust " Chavez and his people, between Chavez and the peoples of the continent. "
Reason of State
Marxist historian and anthropologist Mario Sanoja stresses the joint strategy of neocolonial governments of Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile to create an area of \u200b\u200bPacific trade integration, based on neoliberal policies promoted by the United States to impose free trade and NAFTA and defeat the political integration promoted by Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina. In other words, create a block Mercosur economic and antagonistic to ALBA to promote recovery of the U.S. economy.
"To give a real chance of success to the initiative of TLC Pacific Area, which surely will join Panama, Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, it was necessary to sabotage the meeting (of foreign ministers) from Caracas where you sign the birth certificate of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean, without the presence of U.S. and Canada, which constitutes a political defeat for imperial hegemony, "he says. And he wonders: What did the presence of Joaquín Pérez Becerra in Caracas on the same date of the meeting? Who or whom invited him, who will put that comb?
The analysis indicates that Venezuela is negotiating with the government for the extradition of drug lord Santos Makled Walid, who has been a hero of the Venezuelan opposition and Chavez's alleged victim. "What better opportunity for Santos to torpedo the president or derail the negotiations, hoping that President Chavez refuses to extradite him to Colombia and lifted the World coven imperial media to put in the pillory for abetting terrorism?"
speculates Sanoja having failed to play, Pérez Becerra perhaps no longer any relevance to the government of the Colombian oligarchy. First of all, this is a Swedish citizen, is protected by Swedish and also protected by the European Community which President Santos have no interest in dealing. Maybe once in Colombia, having lost its importance to sabotage the meeting in Caracas and defeat the proposed integration, Pérez Becerra will be released and delivered to the Swedish authorities to return to his adopted country and his family residence in Stockholm.
Sanoja argues that President Chavez weighed well the pros and cons of the situation, the risks and benefits meant that political decision, and calmly took the right decision for Venezuela, for Latin America and the Caribbean: the formal establishment of the CELAC, which will place in Caracas on 5 July. That they are made of the true revolutionary leaders!
Makled and drug
Indira Carpio Olivo stated that "All Walid Makled stinks, but do not panic. The Minister of Interior and Justice of Colombia, Germain Vargas announced that Venezuela only need to ensure "human rights" drug trafficker in order to perform the procedure, for the health of Perez Becerra nobody cares. Blackmail! More than a year and still have Makled wait for instructions from the U.S. to-finally-send it back to Venezuela. "
Some speculate" on both sides of Arauca vibrator on the possible indictments the drug dealer from Venezuelan military officers and their network, but (for lack of evidence) does not exceed that of media speculation.
Criminalization of protest
Anderi Hindu, journalist and Bolivarian, talks about the criminalization (1) of the protest and said that just as not all within the government are in accordance with the delivery of Pérez Becerra, surely As occurs within the movements involved in various events, with activities such as burning the faces of Nicolas Maduro and Andres Izarra, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Information and Communication, respectively.
is still fresh memories of the kidnapping of "foreign minister of the FARC" Rodrigo Granda, Razetti outside the clinic in Caracas on December 13, 2005, with the complicity of "infiltrators" Colombians in the Bolivarian movement.
This time the domestic impact is greater and already threaten the formation of long touted the Patriotic Pole, a difficult task for the manager to consolidate, the president of the National Assembly, Fernando Soto Rojas. Maybe it's time to see who in their own government works for the enemy. "But to recognize that we are united in diversity and are able to transcend our differences to achieve a common goal, is really important and claimed us as revolutionaries. [...] The trap was stepped on, now we do not Let 's hit us. Out of it is our responsibility to ourselves and to those who have been used for bait, "he concludes.
Care Revolution
After the Network of Intellectuals and Artists in Defense of Humanity request in a public letter to the "Comandante Chavez, partner, friend, who does not surrender to Joaquín Pérez Becerra to torture and death" and noted that "It is up to distort the history and renewed hope," the Venezuelan intellectuals and artists it went "the revolutionaries of the world" to ask them to "help care for the Bolivarian Revolution.
" Take care of this revolution that is all. Switch on your mind to understand. Do not use so unsupportive. Not subject to unnecessary risks, "asked.
Who would think that a delivery so far from all right it would be possible in the country with the largest number of community radio stations in Latin America, which has hosted and promoted meetings, forums, conferences and articles on the role of media in the construction of "Ouramérica" where there is a revolutionary process that claims to be socialist country the proud Rodolfo Walsh Prize for popular communication.
Perhaps just as Latin Americans - who are convinced that Venezuela is liberated land, where social activists and revolutionaries are not pursued and spied on, and now they have their mind in tension - ask the leaders and officials from the Bolivarian Revolution: Take care of it, do not undermine its credibility because of its progress depends heavily on the future of Ouramérica.
(1) Blog Note: The criminalization cited by Andrerj relates only to the criticisms made by Hugo Chavez and some militants of the PSUV, there was no repression, detention or prosecution of persons or movements in this area.
