WORLD WORLDWIDE ARGENTINA News Journal Update - (en) Argentina, FORA-CIT: Statement - Faced with the Jujeña situation (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 SROV Capital strongly repudiates the repression of social protest deployed by the

Jujeño government in recent days. It is one more episode of the violent
fascination of the repressive forces of the State violating even its own laws.
All police forces, at the provincial or national level, kidnap, torture, murder
and disappear people. We find the increasingly repressive trend of the State
extremely worrying. ---- We also repudiate the attempt to give constitutional
status to the repression of roadblocks, institutionally signing the promise to
repress popular resistance to the mismanagement and rampage of the rulers. ----
We also repudiate the model of economic development based on the extraction of
resources for export behind the backs of popular needs and destined for a
capitalist robbery that seeks an infinite concentration of wealth. This model
explains the intention of the Jujuy government to restrict social protest to the
point where it does not interfere with lithium mining. We understand that the
intentions of China and the US to take raw materials to sell us their industrial
surplus need clear roads, and find local accomplices willing to clear those roads
with jail and bullets.

The entire history of the Argentine region shows that the primarization of
economic activity is contrary to popular interests. The Argentine economy is
entirely built on the sale of land, whether through agricultural activity,
through oil exploitation or through mining. These activities seriously harm the
population through the plundering of the working class, a deep concentration of
wealth, the destruction of the environment, the desertification of soils and the
precariousness of productive work.

Extractivism is ruinous for the population and has local, regional and global
significance. It's not just a Jujuy issue. The situation in the Argentine
northwest is linked to a regional strategy, and will not change with the
departure of the government of Gerardo Morales. Extractivism is a State policy,
as demonstrated by the parliamentary unanimity reached in Jujuy and the promotion
of the mining, oil and agricultural industry in all the provinces that have these
resources throughout our history and throughout the territory of the Argentine
region. It is essential to interrupt this model with a radical transformation of
the productive system.
It is imperative to advance in the workers' organization to face the economic,
ecological and social dispossession that unfolds from capitalist greed and State
violence. Without the solidarity of the working class, it is impossible to stop
extractivism, just as it will be impossible to advance in the social
transformation that is imposed with the force of necessity.

Let's not let the political fanfare and the electoral spectacle distract us from
the need to deepen the resistance to extractivism throughout the region and the
development of popular economic strategies that activate the capacity of the
working class to overcome the pitfalls of a capitalism in decline.

Resist, fight and organize. The emancipation of the workers will be the work of
the workers. Let Morales go, let them all go.
