Citizen Demonstration Environmental Defense is harshly suppressed

This week we found that repression of free speech is being severely peaceful citizen alibi, and not only in traditional media which are mounted smoke screens to distract attention from the many great goals environmental heritage and civil rights, but also in public places where thousands of people gathered to peacefully demonstrate their discontent with the installation of two power plants to 22 kilometers Bay of Punta de Choros, Coquimbo Region.
The demonstration arose spontaneously and rapidly in just a couple of hours in the public, to be released on the morning of Tuesday 24 August, the approval of the Regional Environmental Commission (COREMA) from Coquimbo to the controversial Barrancones thermoelectric project of the Franco Belgian Suez Energy, with only 4 votes against and 15 in favor. Quickly

various sectors of civil society, NGOs, politicians, students, media and social networks began to call for demonstrations in different parts of the country like La Serena, Antofagasta, Concepción, Temuco and Puerto Montt.
In Santiago, more than 2,000 people gathered initially in the Plaza de Armas in Santiago at about 19 hrs., among which one could see people on bicycles, families, children, in a quiet environment where they held signs and even stuffed penguins, singing and expressing their displeasure at are drums and other instruments. When you start moving
for Orphans toward La Moneda, the police sent barred in the corner of Teatinos Augustine, where his belligerent offensive began aggressively through its water cannons and tear gas, regardless of the presence of children, older people, nor the demonstration peaceful. Hopelessly
the thousands of people began to dissolve, without But returning to further meet the threat posed water, showing that the cohesive force of an informed citizenry respectfully fighting for a just cause is not easily overcome and is an unfair and violent.

Among the protesters was the PPD Senator Guido Girardi, who drenched the state police cars reached that "these people who come peacefully, we are all witnesses. There is a disproportionate police attack again, without any justification, people you are complaining about life, health, their rights, against human rights violation. "

Project recently approved includes the installation of two coal plants in the area of \u200b\u200bPunta de Choros, one of the most productive artisanal fishing coves of benthic resources of the country and where is the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve and Marine Reserves Damas, Choros and Chañaral where there are over 800 species, of which 70% are endemic.

Within this rich biodiversity, found 80% of the global population of Humboldt penguin and the only resident colony of bottlenose dolphins and numerous species classified as Endangered and Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN , For its acronym in English), including the Sea Otter Chungungo or, Risso's dolphin, dusky dolphin and populations of whales that travel and live at certain times of year for activities of their life cycles, including the Humpback Whale, Fin Whale, Sei Whale the iconic Blue Whale .

The thousands of protesters and retractors of the project point out that one of the campaign promises the current President of Chile Sebastián Piñera was that it would oppose the project Barrancones and all power plants that threaten nature, communities and quality of life. Pledged to promote clean energy sources and renewable, highlighting the potential that Chile has in the generation of such renewable energy future.
However, it is strange that after the presidential commitment, the regional government has approved the project an overwhelming majority. In addition to the series of irregularities that opposition leaders denounced the project during the environmental impact process that began in 2007. It

, at least, regrettable attitude of officials of the Regional Environmental Commission (COREMA), where the expelled official spoke Pamela Pizarro in simplistic terms to those who oppose the installation of these power plants. Adding to these offenses, the many arguments that both the executive director of CONAMA, Ignacio Toro and Environment Minister, Maria Ignacia Benítez, replicated in the media and trying to justify violating the environmental, social and health that will irrefutably the installation of these power plants.

reactions of citizens and legislators did not have to wait and Natural Resources Committee of the House of Representatives on Wednesday quoted the regional mayor to explain about this approval, parliamentarians Green caucus members present study impeachment by the approval of the project, while thousands of citizens continue peaceful demonstrations calling for citizens ready for the next few days.

hope that the voice of the people are listening and do have the required effect to avoid this insolent insult to our natural and civil right.
