Chilean Community in Canada Declare Obama, Visit Non Grata
Vancouver, March 17, 2011
Dear Sr.
Sebastian Piñera Echeñique, President of the Republic of Chile
Alfredo Moreno Charme, Minister of External Affairs
Ricardo Plazza Ducó, General Consul Of Chile in Vancouver, Canada
The Chilean, Canadian and Latin-American community in Vancouver, Canada. We call your attention, and the attention of the international community to express our repudiation to the presence and the visit of the president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama. His visit is not good news for Chile or for Latin America. His presence cannot be welcome.
The triumph of Barack Obama represented a hope of change for the people of the United States of North America and it also lodged expectations in Latin America on a possible modification of the Empire policies towards the region. Unfortunately, none of those expectations or any change on the Imperial policy in the region and the world have been fulfilled. The economic, financial, military and industrial power prevails as the unique logic in the imperial war-making policy, in its military occupation, as it is expressed in Iraq and Afghanistan and on the EE.UU. support to dictatorial regimes like deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarack and to the Israeli government in its systematic aggression of the Palestinian people.
We the undersigned make the United States imperialism responsible and we reiterate that:
1.- The United States government have responsibility in the murder of two Presidents of Chile, Salvador Allende and Eduardo Frei, one assassinated in the bombings of the Government Palace (La Moneda) and the other massacred and poisoned in a clinic of the high bourgeoisie in Santiago of Chile.
2.- We make the government of the USA. responsible of having had participation in all the crimes and tortures in Chile, in the cases of disappearances of political, social and union opponents.
3.- We make the government of the USA. responsible for supporting the dictatorship in Chile and other countries in Latin America.
4.- We make the government of the USA. responsible of being part of the Terrorist Operation Condor.
5.- We denounce the government of Obama for its determination to isolate and destabilize the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua, and for its continued attempts at pushing back the progressive forces in Brazil, Argentina and other nations of the continent.
