What the president has made the needs of workers, poor women and students?
This May 21 as well as others, we faced a public account of the current government, in that pop up grandly "advancements" and amendments made so we can not complain and be happy about something. But not a year like others, because we're in months of election and this is the last year of Bachelet, which contradicts the crisis have been attacked women workers, poor students, while Bachelet is known well positioned with a high in the polls to support his government.
But why does this contradiction? Is it really the crisis has been met by the president to defend our rights, our jobs and our quality of life? Clearly not, and the contradiction is because the crisis has severely beaten, scaring the poor and working families, opening major momentary trust in a crisis management by the government. Because we can not say that no layoffs or that the crisis has been profound with 1 million 200 thousand redundancies to date, laid-off women who are also part besides that with our colleagues, we had to ingenuity to survive these hard months scratching with subsidies and insecure jobs.
While the president has a high support that takes pride in the media, things have not changed much for women workers in recent years with laws such as the of postnatal that does not benefit us when no provision for the full enjoyment of their salary and not have nurseries and kindergartens, with the debt of good labor practices that only benefit the entrepreneurs to hire us at all costs with the worst conditions, beyond an occasional social as precarious as we continue to earn less salary, and would not respect our rights as working mothers, etc..
our rights have regressed, as we regret to recall that for a year and a few days, no longer available to us the morning after pill at clinics to prevent pregnancy, while pharmacies prices soared contraceptives and in each municipality decides the mayor in office according to their moral and religious convictions whether or not we buy the morning-after pill. This great attack on all women, especially women workers, poor and young people visiting clinics, was missed by Bachelet, although the promised May 21 that it would not, in fact all the coverage given to the right and the church to move on and allow us the reign of clandestine abortion that takes lives of women, such sequelae and imprisonment, as if we were criminals to live in poverty.
The much-celebrated arrival of women to power, embodied by President Bachelet shows his face more gaunt in the women left homeless by the auction of their homes or who are trying to survive with the bonds issued, or the same ingenuity of searching thousands of ways to alleviate the crisis. And we see that being female was no guarantee of anything, because how else can take a bonus of 40 or 80 thousand dollars if no work? How effective can be government policy with the CPC (Confederation of Commerce and Production, a business organization) and the direction of the CUT to alleviate the crisis without start from the basis of accepting the thousands of redundancies by employers?
Given this reality, the absence of progress and rather worsening conditions of our lives, is that it is necessary to question what some women's groups said the figure around Bachelet, women in power and say that although all suffer discrimination, which we really live this reality hits us that unlike the powerful women and the bosses' parties, we have no democracy for the rich to vote each four years, candidates who play with our needs, when the Coalition, and political policies have only kept the bases of the legacy of the dictatorship, Chile holding a neoliberal, conservative, maintaining the privatization and pension fund business, education, health, which provides neither respects rights sexual minorities, criminalizes the Mapuche, etc.
Bread and Roses Since we believe that these elections any variation of the bosses' parties representing our rights, Enriquez-Ominami not even talk about democratic rights as therapeutic abortion when He has also allowed the right lead parliament and now calls to privatize public enterprises, and Frei is just a stale face a crisis Coalition, a project of more attacks worn liberal statism even talk about employers and what to talk about PiƱera, who raises the banner of neoliberalism and its double standard speaks of inequalities remain a major employer who has made a profit at our expense, as evidenced by the shares held in the pharmacy FASA. Arrate, organized leftist candidate in the JPM, is also not an option, because the JPM to vote in the parliamentary coalition and in the second round Frei. At the same coalition that for almost two decades has supported the right.
So we call up a women's movement against capitalism, class and revolutionary to defend our rights and demands independently of the bosses' parties, the State, Church, parliament, having been allied with the workers, the student movement and poor people, with women working at the forefront of this struggle. Everything in the way of background drive to the chains that oppress and exploit us to lay the groundwork for a different world that we can free ourselves for what we are fighting for socialist revolution as a perspective without neglecting our problems today. We invite you to discuss and be part of Bread and Roses, about us.
