Ativistas se preparam para os Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno 2010 em Vancouver
Alexandre 22 Feb 2010 22:24 GMT (translated by Alexandre)Do dia 12 até o dia 28 de Fevereiro, as cidades de Vancouver e Whistler serão as anfitriãs dos Jogos Olímpicos de Invernos 2010. No entanto, ativistas locais buscam se reunir para retirar o espetáculo do evento. Acontece que Vancouver se localiza na província de British Columbia, Canadá, terra tradicional de comunidades indígenas da etnia "Costa Salish". Este território nunca foi legalmente concedido para a colônia de British Columbia, e nenhum acordo oficial existe entre as comunidades nativas e o governo do Canadá. Isto não impediu o governo de permitir a construção de grandes instalações na região, como a própria cidade de Vancouver e seus mais de 1 milhão de habitantes, nem as enormes indústrias de extração mineral que as acompanham. Por esta razão, ativistas dos direitos indígenas estão pedindo "Não aos Jogos Olímpicos em Terra Roubada dos Nativos"
Não aos Jogos de Inverno em Vancouver 2010 em Terra Roubada dos Nativos | Olympic Resistance Network (ORN)
A cidade anfitriã dos Jogos de Inverno, Vancouver, também abriga uma seleção de outros crimes sociais e ambientais. Enquanto financiamentos emergenciais estão sendo cortados de programas sociais e de habitação, bilhões estão sendo gastos em construções relacionadas ao evento. Uma atenção considerável está sendo prestada à promoção de iniciativas ambientais em Vancouver e British Columbia, no que querem denominar de "Olimpíada Verde". Enquanto isso, as indústrias de madeira e mineração seguem como as que mais prosperam na província, e a terra continua a ser devastada pela infraestrutura industrial. O governo de British Columbia também está lucrando com o uso de nomes e símbolos nativos enquanto continua ignorando os direitos da população indígena.
O número de pessoas negativamente afetadas pelos jogos culminou na unificação de diversas comunidades, criando uma oportunidade para as pessoas se reunirem e juntar forças para criar duas semanas de eventos e ações que enfoquem estes problemas. A Rede de Resistência aos Jogos Olímpicos (ORN no inglês) não irá permitir que a província de British Columbia ou o governo do Canadá utilizem os jogos como uma máquina de propaganda. Portanto, quando as pessoas vierem para Vancouver este inverno, enxergarão o verdadeiro custo da política colonial.

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
