Territorios de los Coast Salish (British Columbia, Canadá): RESISTENCIA OLÍMPICA

Activistas se preparan para los Juegos Olímpicos Vancouver 2010

 
A la sombra de la operación más grande de seguridad interna de la historia canadiense, activistas se preparan para exponer la verdad sobre la política colonial. Desde el 12 al 28 de febrero de 2010, Vancouver y Whistler serán anfitriones para las Plimpiadas de Invierno 2010 y activistas locales están haciendo un llamado para una convergencia anti olímpica para disipar el espectáculo de los juegos. Vancouver está ubicada en la provincia de British Columbia, Canadá, en la tierra tradicional de las comunidades indígenas Coast-Salish. Esta tierra nunca fue legalmente cedida a la colonia de British Columbia y no existe tratado alguno entre las comunidades nativas y el gobierno de Canadá. Este hecho no ha detenido al gobierno en su autorización al desarrollo de grandes asentamientos, tales como la misma ciudad de Vancouver con su población de más de un millón de personas, ni la autorización a las enormes industrias extracción de recursos que vienen con tal desarrollo. Por esta razón activistas de los derechos indígenas reclaman "No a las Olpimpiadas en Tierra Nativa Robada".

na de las Olimpiadas, Vancouver, es también anfitriona de una selección de otros crímenes sociales y ambientales. Mientras la financiación crítica está siendo recortada de los programas sociales y de vivienda, billones están siendo gastados en construcciones relacionadas con las Olimpiadas. Una atención considerable se enfoca en promover iniciativas verdes en Vancouver y British Columbia, llamando a los juegos de invierno de este año las "Olimpiadas verdes". esto se dice mientras la minería y la tala mantienen las más grandes industrias en la provincia y la tierra es continuamente destruida por la expansión de la infraestructura industrial. El gobierno de British Columbia también está haciendo gran uso de nombnres y símbolos nativos apropiados mientras continúa ignorando los derechos de la población indígena. El amplio registro de personas afectadas negativamente por los juegos ha unificado diversas comunidades y creado una oportunidad para que la gente se junte y una fuerzas para crear dos semanas de eventos y acciones visibilizando estos asuntos. El Movimiento de Resistencia Olímpica no permitirá a la provincia de British Columbia o al gobierno de Canadá usar estos juegos en su máquina propagandística. Así cuando el mundo venga a Vancouver este invierno, verán el verdadero costo de

Activists getting ready for Vancouver 2010 Olympic games

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games are opening today in Vancouver. Large-scale protests are planned over the weekend. The Olympic Resistance Network has organized a people’s summit to coincide with the Games’ opening ceremonies. Franklin Lopez of the Vancouver Media Co-op filed this report. JUAN GONZALEZ: Well, the 2010 Winter Olympic Games are opening in Vancouver today. Large-scale protests are planned over the weekend. The Olympics Resistance Network has organized a people’s summit to coincide with the Games’ opening ceremonies. Franklin Lopez of the Vancouver Media Co-op filed this report. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: Vancouver, BC is abuzz with the Olympic fever. But there is something a little bit different this time around. What started out as hundreds of local people organizing against the Olympic bid has turned into an international convergence of thousands coming from around the world preparing to confront the 2010 Games. HARJAP GREWAL: It’s a unique moment in history, because a call for mcp a convergence normally happens at the G8, WTO and World Bank summits that happen around the world, and this time organizers have actually called for a demonstration against the Olympics industry. We don’t see the Olympics industry as being that much different than these other institutions that are unaccountable to the people of the world. The IOC is like the WTO. The IOC is like the IMF, is like the World Bank. And it encourages the transfer of wealth from public hands to private pockets. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: That was Harjap Grewal of the Olympic Resistance Network. PROTESTERS: No homes, no peace, no racist police! REPORTER: Even though the Anti-Poverty Committee has demonstrated its pension for violence in the past. FRANKLIN LOPEZ: Though demonized in the media, the Olympic Resistance Network is getting their message out, as the anti-Olympic movement grows. A recent poll shows that a landslide of British Columbians think too much is being spent on the two-week sporting event. Here’s Harsha Walia of the Olympic Resistanc
