Indigenous leader of Guatemala protests: Defending democracy after election_我的网站

永不磨灭的番号

A |     本报讯 特约记者张旭报道 4月12日,兴城市委书记陈玮主持召开中共兴城八届市委常委会第一百四十四次会议。    GUATEMALA CITY -- One of the leaders of the nationwide protests against efforts to undermine Guatemala’s elections that have paralyzed much of the country’s commerce for nearly two weeks is a young one-time law student who now heads up one of the country’s most important Indigenous organizations.While Guatemala President Alejandro Giammattei tries to draw President-elect Bernardo Arévalo into a dialogue aimed at ending the protests, Luis Pacheco says that it isn’t Arévalo’s call to make and that Giammattei could end them by meeting their demands.Guatemala has been roiled throughout much of this year’s election cycle and even a resounding victory by Arévalo in August did not calm it. The academic and former diplomat ran on a platform of battling corruption that observers say has unnerved Guatemala’s entrenched power structure.This month's protests have been the largest public display rejecting the administration's questioning of the election. Protesters have peacefully blocked key roadways at more than 100 points across the country. Giammattei this week made clear his intention to clear them by force if necessary.The protesters have made Attorney General Consuelo Porras the target of their ire. Since Arévalo was the surprise second-place finisher in an initial round of voting in June, her office has pursued investigations related to how Arévalo's Seed Movement party collected signatures required to register years earlier and multiple investigations related to the election itself.For Pacheco and the 48 Indigenous communities he represents northwest of Guatemala’s capital, the solution is simple: Porras, one of her prosecutors and a judge who suspended Arévalo’s party have to go.“We’re not asking for something that can’t be done, we are not asking for constitutional reforms, which would be more complicated,” Pacheco said late Tuesday. He stood a block from one of the roadblocks in Guatemala City, holding the wooden staff that signals his position and his customary wide-brimmed hat and shoulder bag. His manner of speaking was measured and calm.Pacheco said the galvanizing moment for the K’iche’ people he represents was a raid on electoral offices broadcast live in which federal agents opened and took away — despite resistance from some electoral officials — boxes containing precinct vote tally sheets. “The people already voted and you have to respect the decision taken,” he said.“We know that they don’t want to lose the power they have,” Pacheco said.The protests have been largely peaceful. Demonstrators allow ambulances to pass, as well as trucks carrying basic food stuffs and gasoline. “We don’t want to kill ourselves as people,” he said. “What we want to show is that we want to defend and take back democracy.”Pacheco cited Atanasio Tzul, an Indigenous leader who led an uprising in 1820 demanding rights, as an influence.Álvaro Pop, former chairman of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, said that what is happening now in Guatemala is the end of a cycle in which the government has tried to eliminate or transform the protest.In 2015, thousands of Guatemalans took to the streets, eventually forcing then-President Otto Pérez Molina to resign over corruption allegations. In 2020, Giammattei violently put down protests against his administration.Guatemalans are much more conscious than in previous years of the pervasive corruption in their government, Pop said, in large part because of the years of work by a U.N.-backed anticorruption mission.“The Indigenous peoples (call for the protests) because they are the ones with the moral standing to do so and that is why there is a response and support, but there is the risk that the protests are undermined by racism,” Pop said.Pacheco, mayor of the town of Juchanep, will only hold the rotating post of president of the 48 cantons for a year, but is aware that his role in the protests could lead to persecution.Recently, a far-right activist closely aligned with Porras filed a complaint against Pacheco alleging damage committed by protesters. Often this is a prelude to criminal charges.“We’re not here on behalf of a political party, we’re not defending Arévalo so he can assume the presidency, no one else decided this,” Pacheco said. “Not even if Arévalo told us to stop the protests, we’re not going to do it. The negotiation is between the Indigenous peoples and the government.”。           会议传达学习了习近平总书记在第二十届中共中央政治局第十二次集体学习时的重要讲话精神,研究我市贯彻落实意见;传达学习了《中共中央国务院关于学习运用“千村示范、万村整治”工程经验有力有效推进乡村全面振兴的意见》《习近平总书记关于做好“三农”工作的重要指示,刘国中同志在中央农村工作会议上的讲话及总结讲话》,研究兴城市贯彻落实意见;审议并原则通过了《兴城市2024年扶持发展新型农村集体经济项目实施方案》。           会议还传达学习了中央财经委员会第四次会议、省委财经委员会第六次会议和市委常委会会议有关精神,研究我市贯彻落实意见;审议并原则通过了《兴城市人民政府、辽宁农村商业银行股份有限公司战略合作协议》;传达学习了中央及省委、市委党纪学习教育有关会议和《中共中央办公厅关于在全党开展党纪学习教育的通知》精神,研究我市贯彻落实意见。           会议指出,要强化政治意识,履行维护国家“五大安全”政治使命,努力增强新能源发展和供给能力,为中国式现代化建设提供安全可靠的能源保障;要紧密结合实际,聚焦核能、风电、光伏等领域,因地制宜发展新质生产力,构建清洁低碳安全高效的新型能源体系,打造风光核储一体化能源基地;要加强组织领导,完善新能源产业发展规划,因地制宜抓招商、上项目、解难题,科学谋划一批新能源项目,为全面振兴新突破提供有力支撑。           会议强调,提高思想认识,充分认识“三农”工作的重大意义,聚焦全力创建国家乡村振兴示范县、省级乡村振兴示范带工作,高标准高质量完成创建任务;要学习借鉴“千万工程”经验,聚焦人居环境整治、基础设施建设、民生领域问题、平安乡村建设,因地制宜,循序渐进,推进农村治理现代化;要强化产业振兴,做优做大花生主导产业,打造现代渔业养殖新模式、打响兴城特色区域品牌,全面推进农业产业现代化;要强化组织领导,坚持党对农村工作的全面领导,深入推进抓党建促乡村振兴,持续加强乡村振兴要素保障,全面推进乡村振兴取得新进展。
