Today we note the relationship that appears to exist between the Mitt Romney fortune and the funding of death squads in El Salvador, via Bain Capital. The report has been prepared by the University of Maine in collaboration with Radio Sumpul and US-El Salvador Sister Cities. El candidato republicano a la presidencia estadounidense Mitt Romney tiene algo que ver con la violenta guerra civil de El Salvador? Hay la polémica de los impuestos que paga por su patrimonio y la del empleo generado o destruido durante su gerencia de la empresa Bain Capital, y ahora ha aparecido una nueva denuncia. Según un artículo en Salon, la empresa Bain fue financiada al comienzo por familias que parecen estar vinculadas a los escuadrones de la muerte que actuaron en El Salvador durante los 80 y parte de los 90. En cuanto a Bain Capital, no se han revelado los nombres de sus inversores iniciales, aunque en 1994, cuando Romney se enfrentaba a Ted Kennedy por un puesto de Senador, el Boston Globe describe una reunión de uno de los ejecutivos de Bain con varias familias salvadoreñas que querían invertir en empresas estadounidenses ante los problemas que asediaban el país centroamericano. Entre esas familias había cuatro miembros de la familia de Sola. Orlando de Sola, uno de ellos, era un empresario de derechas que tenía una idea “autoritaria” de la política salvadoreña y también mantenía una relación muy amistosa con el conocido (y ahora desprestigiado) Roberto D’Aubuisson. D’Aubuisson, antiguo espia que había sido entrenado por los estadounidenses, era reconocido como un hombre íntimamente asociado con, si no fundador de, los escuadrones de muerte de extrema derecha. Estos escuadrones habían sido financiados en parte por las grandes oligarquías salvadoreñas en colaboración con la administración del presidente Ronald Reagan, quien tenía miedo de que el comunismo entrara en Estados Unidos por el patio trasero de América Central. En aquel momento, Romney negó que existiera esa relación; en sus palabras: “investigamos la integridad de los individuos y observamos cualquier signo de actividad ilegal y problemas en su historial, y no encontramos ninguno”. Se ha señalado que en esa declaración el político mormón también llegó a declarar que no se investigaba a los parientes políticos ni a otros, más lejanos. Ninguno de los implicados en la relación entre los dos países, la empresa Bain y la oligarquía salvadoreña ha hecho comentario sobre las conexiones entre los escuadrones de la muerte y la empresa que hizo rico a Romney. Se espera que surja más información… Romney fue primero ejecutivo de Bain & Company y luego fundador y presidente de su filial Bain Capital que está en séptimo lugar entre las diez mayores empresas de inversión privadas en Estados Unidos. La fortuna que Romney hizo con Bain le permitió pagarse las campañas de su carrera política. El método de Bain Capital es típico: atraer inversionistas para la compra de empresas con problemas financieros; ofrecer a los ejecutivos de esas compañías cantidades sólidas del capital accionarial; reorganizar las operaciones, incluyendo con el despido de trabajadores; y vender las entidades cuando se vuelven lucrativas. Después de inversionista, Romney fue gobernador de Massachusetts, y en su campaña ha asegurado que sabe mejor que nadie cómo crear puestos de trabajo para los estadounidenses, habiendo creado más de 170.000 como gobernador. Uno de los rivales, el gobernador de Texas, Rick Perry, hablando de su pasado en Bain Capital, ha llamado su método como “capitalismo buitre”, que según Perry contrasta con el verdadero capitalismo productivo. Uno de sus rivales, Newt Gingrich, dijo que “quienes creen que la meta de la inversión es el fomento de la empresa privada y la creación de empleos encontrarán difícil justificar que los ricos encuentren vías astutas[...] RadioSumpul/ElSalvador archives@weru.org no no http://archives.weru.org/mindful-parenting/mindful-parenting-12812 http://archives.weru.org/mindful-parenting/mindful-parenting-12812#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:30:36 +0000 Community Radio WERU FM http://archives.weru.org/?p=8491 http://archives.weru.org/mindful-parenting/mindful-parenting-12812/feed 0 0:02:32 Producer/Host: Nancy Hathaway “Quiet Before Meals” Producer/Host: Nancy Hathaway “Quiet Before Meals” archives@weru.org no no http://archives.weru.org/awanadjo-almanack/awanadjo-almanack-12712 http://archives.weru.org/awanadjo-almanack/awanadjo-almanack-12712#comments Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:30:42 +0000 Community Radio WERU FM http://archives.weru.org/?p=8587 http://archives.weru.org/awanadjo-almanack/awanadjo-almanack-12712/feed 0 0:07:02 Producer/Host: Rob McCall Engineer: Denis Howard “Winter’s Halfway Point” Producer/Host: Rob McCall Engineer: Denis Howard “Winter’s Halfway Point” archives@weru.org no no http://archives.weru.org/radioactive/radioactive-12612 http://archives.weru.org/radioactive/radioactive-12612#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:00:54 +0000 Community Radio WERU FM http://archives.weru.org/?p=8578 http://archives.weru.org/radioactive/radioactive-12612/feed 0 0:28:23 Issue: Environmental and Social Justice Broadcast Time:4-4:30PM Program Topic: Governor LePage’s Proposed Budget Cuts to Department of Health and Human Services programs, including MaineCare Key Discussion Points: a) We look at efforts to unco[...] Issue: Environmental and Social Justice Broadcast Time:4-4:30PM Program Topic: Governor LePage’s Proposed Budget Cuts to Department of Health and Human Services programs, including MaineCare Key Discussion Points: a) We look at efforts to uncover the coordinated crackdown on Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country, through the US Conference of Mayors. b) We look at restrictions to those on unemployment insurance, under the proposed bill LD 1725, “An Act to Strengthen the Unemployment Insurance Laws and Reduce Fraud”. c) And, we check in on the status of the massive cuts to low income social service and healthcare programs, proposed by Governor LePage. 65,000 people could be cut from MaineCare The Appropriations Committee has already agreed to cut funding for “Wrap Around Maine”, which has helped struggling youth turn their lives around.

Our topic this week is the public apology delivered by President Funes to the families of the nearly 1,000 victims of the El Mozote massacre 30 years ago. The report has been prepared by the University of Maine in collaboration with Radio Sumpul and US-El Salvador Sister Cities. El presidente salvadoreño Mauricio Funes, a los 20 años de posguerra, se pronunció en contra de los sectores más derechistas y militaristas del país. Incluyó los cargos y los nombres de los oficiales responsables de la masacre de El Mozote, con un saldo de casi mil asesinados; la mitad eran menores de edad, otros estaban a punto de nacer y otros fueron arrancados de los brazos de las madres. Los militares nombrados fueron el Teniente Coronel Domingo Monterrosa; el Mayor José Armando Azmitia Melara y el Mayor Natividad de Jesús Cáceres, jefes del Batallón de Infantería de Reacción Inmediata “Atlacatl”, entrenado en las bases de Estados Unidos en el método de “tierra arrasada” que se empleó en Vietnam. La población fue llevada al centro de los pueblos, donde mataron a los hombres. Las mujeres y niñas eran violadas antes de ser ametralladas; los niños fueron encerrados en el convento, donde fueron ametrallados y quemados con lanzallamas. Después de 30 años, el presidente ordenó al actual mando militar hacer una revisión de la interpretación de la Fuerza Armada del hecho y que se reconociera que fue un acto de “barbarie”. Al fallecido Roberto D´Aubuisson, incluido en investigaciones como el autor intelectual del asesinato del Arzobispo Oscar Romero, se le erigen monumentos, plazas públicas y se le hacen otros homenajes, aunque fue fundador de los escuadrones de la muerte. Los guerrilleros Joaquín Villalobos y Jorge Meléndez, responsables del asesinato del escritor Roque Dalton también han recibido reconocimientos; Villalobos es asesor antidrogas del presidente mexicano Felipe Calderón, y Meléndez, Secretario Presidencial para Asuntos de Vulnerabilidad, del propio Funes. La familia de Dalton ha iniciado un proceso judicial en contra de Villalobos y Meléndez, pero los acusados están protegidos por sus mandatarios. Sin embargo, la acción de Funes puede hacer que la impunidad realmente sea apartada de la historia salvadoreña, creen algunos. Dijo Funes: “Como Jefe de Estado, pido también a las organizaciones civiles y a las autoridades nacionales involucrados en el tema de justicia, particularmente a la Fiscalía General de la República, a los jueces y magistrados del Órgano Judicial, que contribuyan con su acción a favorecer el combate de la impunidad en el país. Y pido a los miembros actuales y futuros de la Asamblea Legislativa que legislen con sabiduría, que revisen lo que haya que revisar, para impedir la impunidad”. El discurso de Funes debe convertirse en acciones. Hubo 75.000 muertos de la guerra y 40.000 en la posguerra. Afirmó Funes: “Como jefe de Estado, como presidente constitucional de la República, reconozco que en cantones El Mozote, El Pinalito, Ranchería, Los Toriles, Jocote Amarillo, Cerro Pando, La Joya y Cerro Ortiz, días y noches de 10,11, 12 y 13 de diciembre de 1981 tropas de infantería del Batallón … asesinaron a cerca de un millar de personas. En nombre del Estado pido perdón por esa masacre y por aberrantes violaciones a derechos humanos y abusos perpetrados”. Además de pedir la revisión del informe de la Comisión de la Verdad, Funes anunció medidas de reparación moral y económica para los familiares de las víctimas. Habrá un censo para conocer el número exacto de víctimas de la masacre y para determinar las principales necesidades de sus comunidades. Se ha declarado bien estructural el lugar donde ocurrió la matanza de civiles, a fin de reivindicar el caserío El Mozote.

Today our topic is the removal of a mural to peace from the façade of the Cathedral in San Salvador. The report has been prepared by the University of Maine in collaboration with Radio Sumpul and US-El Salvador Sister Cities. En 1997 el artista Fernando Llort construyó un mural en la Catedral Metropolitana; hace unos días la iglesia católica decidió destruirlo. Llort lamentó que “la obra que pertenecía a todos los salvadoreños la hayan reducido a escombros”. Añadió: “Ese mural le pertenecía a todos y era una expresión de la cultura salvadoreña. Particularmente, siento que la destrucción del mural es una bofetada desesperanzadora para todos los artesanos y artistas nacionales”. El arquitecto José Roberto Suárez, representante de la empresa que reconstruyó el templo, afirma que técnicamente era imposible que el mural se hubiera dañado. Llort no puede entender por qué la iglesia destruyó sin avisar una obra de arte pública, diciendo “La obra … no era mía ni de la iglesia”. El Arzobispo de San Salvador, monseñor Luis Escobar Alas, dijo que les gustaría que el artista hiciera una réplica a escala al interior de la catedral. Llort respondió que “esa no es una decisión mía, como tampoco fue en 1997″. Le hizo una solicitud al Arzobispo Escobar Alas: que le dé al país una “explicación seria y coherente, porque los salvadoreños merecen una explicación decente, con sustento técnico y basada en la verdad”. También pide que el suceso sirva para reclamar dignidad para los artesanos y artistas salvadoreños. Por último, quiere que la iglesia le entregue los escombros de la fachada para hacer una obra homenaje que se llamará “Dignidad y Respeto a los Artesanos Salvadoreños”. En una conferencia de prensa, Escobar Alas estuvo acompañado de Tatiana Molina, técnica de la empresa Servicios Inmobiliarios Molina, a cargo de demoler el mosaico, que medía 16 metros de alto. Molina dijo que el pegamento de muchos azulejos ya había perdido su fuerza. El arquitecto Suárez dijo que eso no era cierto, porque se había usado un adhesivo epóxico, que sirve para pegar concreto y acero. Para Suárez, era imposible que los mosaicos se estuvieran desprendiendo y argumentó que durante los terremotos de 2001 solo se dañaron 12 piezas, más tarde reemplazadas. En cuanto a la decoloración del mosaico que mencionó la iglesia, tampoco resultó convincente el argumento. Suárez insistió que el proceso de horneado de los ladrillos produjo piezas duras, con una capa impermeable. El color aplicado a cada pieza formaba parte integral con el vitrificado, por lo que la decoloración sería casi inexistente. El proceso jurídico contra la Iglesia Católica por la destrucción del mosaico, anunciado por Secultura (la Secretaría de la Cultura), no se llevó a cabo. Se busca “una salida consensuada, digna tanto para el artista como para la sociedad y la iglesia”. El director de Patrimonio Cultural de la Secretaría, Ramón Rivas, dijo que “en el marco jurídico y amparados en la ley, vamos a proceder porque de esta forma no se puede atentar contra el patrimonio de los salvadoreños y no importa que sea la Iglesia Católica, con todo el respeto que se merecen”. Secultura también hizo eco en la petición del artista al solicitar los restos del mosaico para la realización de otra obra, y se comprometen a colaborar hasta donde sus posibilidades les permitan. Sobre las declaraciones de Fernando Llort, se solicitó la respuesta del arzobispo, cuya secretaria respondió que el religioso ya se había pronunciado. Fernando Llort, de una familia de comerciantes catalanes, encontró un pueblo de las montañas, La Palma, e inició un trabajo de estudio de la realidad salvadoreña y su reconstrucción con imágenes.
