Chile: The public bill and the sinister measures of the old State
We publish an unoficial translation of an article published on Prensa Chiripilko
On last 1st of June the President of the old State, Gabriel Boric (FA) gave in the parliament the yearly public bill in collusion with the revisionism of the false “C”P and opportunists of other parties.
Regarding the economy, Boric backed up by our semi-colonial relations in front of the large imperialist powers, highlighting the figure of the “private investment” in the control of natural resources like mining of copper, lithium and others, together with agrarian industry and salmon farms under US, European, Chinese and other capital. Moreover the condition of plundering under the gendarme of the IMF in our country was reaffirmed, the Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel who, guided by the World Bank applies the measures of hunger and loading the crisis onto the poor. We have to keep in Mind that the price of life in Chile is growing with the world crisis. In only a year the price of life has increased by 28%, specially basic products like food, water, light and housing.
Another aspect that reveals the lie is the affirmation that the State does not have the funds to take responsibility of the historical debt of the professors affected by the coup of 1973 and the debt of thousands of students with Credits with State Caution (CAE). ALL OF THIS HAVE BEEN THEIR CAMPAIGN PROMISES, promises that they use to charm some sectors of the people.
Finally on the matter of repression, moreover supporting the genocidal character of the police and the Armed Forces especially against the poor and the Mapuche People, we see the intention to passing the new “Cursed Law”: The Anti-Occupation Law. Currently, occupying land or housing is sanctioned with fines, same with violent as non-violent occupation. With the law proposal, it would be no more an economic sanction but a crime with prison penalty.
It is clear: the only way is the struggle, organization and revolution, not the constitutional illusion, the bourgeois elections nor the false promises.
