Milei government -free racism

On Wednesday, April 16, in a new day of fighting retirees in front of the Congress – a mobilization that the deputies on the left accompany every Wednesday – the security forces attacked with pepper gas to the Deputy Coya Alejandro Vilca.

It is not a sum of isolated facts. It is one Racist State Policy. The Government of Javier Milei carries out a program of systematic exclusion of indigenous peoples, which combines repression, delegitimization and normative setback.

Last November, Argentina was the The only country in the world who voted against a United Nations resolution that promoted the rights of indigenous peoples. Before a request for the report of the Congress, the Bank of the PTS-Frente on the left asked the reasons for this vote, the government He justified his position saying the text promoted “an exceptionality regime […] That, instead of strengthening the rights of indigenous peoples, they could result in a limitation of their full access to universal rights – as the right to health based on scientific advance – or even validate practices incompatible with the rights of women and children. ”

The government of Javier Milei denialist, anti -scientific and patriarchalwhich promotes hate to women and diversities, says “with concern” the worldview of the native peoples as behind and against women and children. Well.

These arguments cannot convince anyone. But, on behalf of an alleged “equality before the law”, Preexistence is deniedcollective rights and differentiated identity of native peoples. The Government considers that recognizing specific rights who were historically stripped is a form of “privilege.”

Even more serious is the lifting of Law 26,160, which since 2006 established the illegality of the Forced evictions to original communities while their lands were regularized. Despite being breached numerous times, it was a legal tool conquered after the second malon of the same year. With the DNU 1083/24, the Government ended the territorial emergency. In the response signed by Guillermo Francos, it is ensured that this measure “provides legal certainty to the parties” and that the communities “have due recognition” of the State.

However, according to the decree of the government of 1626 recognized communities So far, at least 254 have judicial conflicts. But the official answer even questions the concept of Territorial emergencydescribing it as “inconsistent and oblivious to community reality.” An absolute contempt in favor of great economic interests. They want to strip the communities of their territories at the service of Petroleras, miners, real estate developments and agribusiness.

That is why they also advance with the criminalization and repressive advance. In recent months, the government has arrested and judicialized to Mapuche referents As Victoria Nuñez Fernández who already regained freedom, after the last one fell armed cause with which the government tried to cover its inaction against the fires of Patagonia. In a gross lie and operation, they accused those who defend the territories of wanting to destroy them.

The attack on Vilca condenses all this panorama. He is indigenous, he is a worker, he is Trotskyist and accompanies popular struggles every week on the street. That’s why they went to look for. That is why they insult him. That is why they want it silent. But they will not achieve it.

This government is not only the enemy of workers. It is also deeply racist. Its country model needs free territories of communities to advance businesses. But in front of that, There is resistance.
