Tocopilla Movement Returns President
April 12 On Tuesday night, Creek Camp residents Boy South phoned me to tell me that black flags were installed in her neighborhood to protest the null responses to their housing problems.
already going to be 4 years since the earthquake of November 2007. There comes a fourth winter for hundreds of families who remain in camps.
few weeks ago published the lists of selected post-quake relatives to get their own house in the coming months and dozens of residents of South Cove Boy are not mentioned. The government tells them to not lose their right to housing, but should wait and run as normal close, which means that their homes at least several months to be built. Or maybe years.
camp dressed in black on their roofs waving flags and posters began to voice their protest messages. Movement with the team we got back Tocopilla present from the first day and we were supporting the settlers in this just struggle.
On Wednesday 20 April, a meeting between residents and government authorities, the latter represented by SERVIU, Interior and Tocopilla Plan. Government officials flocked jackets and dresses with their characteristics.
It is regrettable that in the days before this meeting, pressures and threats of all type were felt on several residents.
residents complained that state officials have threatened to stop homeless neighbors who already have grants and an attitude of solidarity have acceded to such events.
So much fear the government will have a piece of trash bag attached to a PVC pipe, installed on the roof of a shack?
also draws attention to the activity of Tocopilla Plan, running camps, making warnings and organizing separate meetings with other districts, so as to avoid the support of neighbors in other camps to the meeting of Caleta Boy South.
The same attitudes that he criticized the former in Tocopilla Plan time of the meeting, when accused of authoritarianism and owners believe the camps, now we see in the hands of those who exercise power and control the governing body. Right implements the same methods that challenged both his opponents.
remains concerned about the presence of Criminal Investigation Police in the camp, officials on Monday April 18 through the barrio, showing their badges and "consulting" who was authorized to install signage that displays messages in housing demand and justice.
This last point is particularly sensitive for the authorities, as the Head of Plan Tocopilla, Daniela Vechiola, is uneven Research of an official of our community.
not want to believe that in this case is an abuse of power ...
The government should not worry about the account and should invest their time, resources and energy on solving the problems of families who remain in camps tocopillanas.
Tocopilla Movement back and the writer of this note, we have the right to express ourselves, to support and participate actively in the struggles that are our neighbors and brothers tocopillanos. We
tocopillanos, are sons of this land and not leave the people alone.
During the meeting held on Wednesday 20 April, I asked to speak and intervened on several occasions. In a final thought I consulted SERVIU authorities whether it was ethical, legal or if there was a conflict of interest when we find that the owner of an EGIS (property management company) is the husband of a woman who works as a social worker in Tocopilla Plan and attending a camp where the residents are awaiting construction of their houses through the same EGIS. This is a reasonable doubt a concern citizen. Daniela
Vechiola, Head of Plan Tocopilla, I replied that they had the best intentions. But the public administration and service to the people through state agencies does not work based on good intentions works on ethics, probity and legality.
This government has given enough examples of conflicts of interest and negotiated. We do not want Tocopilla also a victim of such bad practices.
Although the government was the idea of \u200b\u200bremoving the posters and black flags at the end of the meeting this Wednesday, the villagers decided to keep their canvases and banners to have concrete answers. They say that the roundtable will be installed within a couple of weeks will struggle to get answers to your request. There will come down the arms and mobilized.
We as Tocopilla Back Movement will continue to actively support the people until they have a solution, no matter that disturb people believe owners of the camps and people's consciousness.
those who struggle! Another Tocopilla is possible ... Continue to build a different path for our port.
