Artera was police repression unleashed by the APRA government on Thursday June 14 against Casapalca miners, with two deaths, a two years, and Oscar Fernandez Taype mining, and three people seriously injured. The event ourrió when workers and their families, after 18 days of unsuccessful strike against the most inhuman conditions of work and the replacement of 300 dismissed, calling attention to their problems with the blockade of the Central Cerretera at kilometer 117 ( Huarochirí).
The company, owned Gubbins family, seeks to imprison 30 union leaders from the newly formed union. The criminalization of social and union demands are frequent in Peru a policy to favor corporate interests the government represents. In Shougang Hierro Peru, for example, China's capital, the main leader, Ronnie Cueto, remains in jail since 5 June, while another 8 leaders depends on an impending arrest warrant, accused of an incident quite doubtful.
The government knows very well the plight of miners in general and in particular Casapalca, from the use and abuse of outsourced labor or contractors who promised to go away but campaigning still holds almost all the workers and others as "possible" without rights, participation, health, safety and wages. Overtime hours in violation of the universal journey has been challenged by a strike-suspended for now, which organized the National Federation of Miners, Metalworkers and Steelworkers of Peru.
Premier Jorge del Castillo admitted in an interview with RPP, the morning of Thursday 14, the company hinders the inspection of Ministry of Labor, stating that the workers would be received but failed to receive. In the same address gave Energy Minister and Mines, Juan Valdivia, indicating that his office will require the company complies with the agreements reached. Also occurred with the Minister of Labour in the event sector Shougang, when the Minister publicly acknowledged the unfair conditions imposed by the services that support politically. Similarly, can the Minister of Interior, which prides itself on social protests end without bullets when facing the cameras of the media but does not hesitate to reveal blood and fire when the police work to the backs of the national press, as has been demonstrated when high-ranking national police coordinate actions with the genocidal APRA Mantilla partner Montesinos. That is also clear when the Premier participates in compromise to pack the election of members of the Constitutional Court as required by the question montesinitas Ríos Castillo who resigned to that helped him get there. In the case of the eight MPs to be outrageous because of its clear anti-FTA will equal formality on the one hand but on the other clear demonstrations of a power born of the shameful dark alliance with FujiMontesinismo APRA.
're not in game only the desire for better wages or working arrangements fairer, but the most basic democratic rights as freedom of association and strike. Urgent need to organize a strong response to the removal of the political leaders of these sector ministries, as well as the release of the leaders arrested or prosecuted and termination of judicial hostilización.
While the Miners' Federation and the CGTP must urgently take necessary union coordination, the left parties and democratic personages who still remain in the country must specify the necessary policy coordination in the shortest time for a protest to halt the ciernes.Las fachistización escalation in meetings of the National Control Unit, formed to organize the national day of July 11 may not expect that date to finalize the protest had been planned, because reality has matured faster than expected. Also, the Mining Federation must submit for consideration to their bases the resumption of the national strike to support the struggles of Casapalca, Shougang, Southern, Yanacocha and other bases.
