Jubilee South/Americas global call in the face of the Coronavirus Pandemia

Llamamiento global Global Call: Immediate Suspension of Debt Payments and External Debt Cancellation!  Allocate these Funds to the Attention and Care of the Population! To face the health and food crisis compounded by coronavirus For over twenty years, Jubilee South/Americas has  been demanding the cancellation of our countries’ respective external debts. We have clearly demonstrated its illegitimacy through actions and arguments, showing how the very mechanisms of the debt are contrived to ensure that it will never be paid off, thus guaranteeing the subjugation of our peoples to financial slavery and political dependency at the hands of big imperial capital. It isn´t the peoples’ debt, which is why we affirm “We don´t owe, we won´t pay!” As peoples of the global South, we were not consulted about acquiring these debts. On the contrary, they are external factors that threaten our sovereignties; an example of which is the role that the World Bank and the Internat...

Appeal for Debt Cancellation

Llamamiento por la Anulación de las Deudas Nora Cortiñas turns 90 on March 22nd. In the midst of the crisis that Argentina is experiencing, but looking at all of our America, the global South and the entire world, she has decided that the only gift she wants - nothing more and nothing less - is the cancellation of all the debts that are impoverishing, sickening, enslaving and killing so many people. Will you give us a hand? Together, we can spread the word about her request, add our support and send it to the governments, institutions and economic actors involved.  The text of the Appeal follows below, and you can add your signatures here: https://forms.gle/i9X6HpV3v6Gw69tK6 It is not so easy to mobilize at the moment, but we will soon be communicating date and time.

Call to Argentine government to revert WTO censorship

Imagen
Eng. Mauricio Macri President of the Nation We received today, with extreme concern, information from the offices of the World Trade Organization in Geneva, advising that the Argentine government has decided to deny the accreditation for the upcoming WTO Ministerial Conference, to be held in Buenos Aires, of a substantial number of local and international civil society delegates, who had been accredited by the WTO in an opportune manner. This same information strongly suggests to these delegates that they not travel to Buenos Aires, as it is likely they would be denied entry into the country. We have also learned with extreme concern, of the decisions by your government to deny visas to people duly accredited by the WTO, and in other cases, to be delaying or unnecessarily complicating the processing of the same, either to participate in the Ministerial Conference or in related activities. We reject these unilateral and authoritarian measures that violate fundamental righ...
