SHA IN NEW THREAT: EVICTION NOTICE TO HOTEL BAUEN

Open Letter to the Community from the Hotel Bauen Cooperative On July 20, 2007 got an eviction within 30 days of the Cooperative BAUEN Hotel where we are intimate with the workers to abandon the property, thus our jobs. The judge in the Paula Hualde commercial court No. 9 of the Federal Capital, required to return the property to former owners, Mercotel SA who bankrupted the Hotel in December 2001 leaving us all in the street. This is a new ruling against the workers, which violates the basic rights that the Constitution applies in Argentina: able to work freely. It is not the first court order that attempts to lock the progress of our management as a cooperative. We have already passed several measures such as closing for lack of security, and others which have left gracefully. So we hope that this legal outrage against our management will be another obstacle to be overcome and we expect to do with the support of the community and social organizations have always sympathized with our experience. This has been reaffirmed at the meeting where more than 50 social organizations recuperated enterprises, cultural, human rights organizations, political parties and intellectuals. For those who do not know our history, we should tell some details relevant to the court order and our recent history. After the collapse of 2001, a group of workers were dismissed without compensation. Then, we organize and in 2003 we became the Cooperative Buenos Aires National Company Ltada-A-BAUEN We refurbish facilities and full and that the hotel was emptied and looted by the former firm which operated the place, and at least Solari SA three years as a result of our efforts and with the help of other recovered companies we put all the facilities. Today we have a fully operational. Since we became Co have done all the actions and measures at our disposal to exploit the site, continue to generate more jobs and demonstrate that the management of enterprises managed by their workers is feasible, practical and successful. The achievements are obvious, we have generated more than 150 jobs, of the 20 initial - in less than three years, and a number of jobs outsourced when considering contracts with suppliers of inputs. We need the support of the entire community to keep doing what we are doing. Work in dignity.

Brief History of the Hotel Bauen In 1978 he built the hotel, waiting for the World Cup to be held in the country. The company (BAUEN SA) and its president Marcelo Iurcovich had political contacts and trade with the military dictatorship. Through MILITARY got the loan from BANADE (National Development Bank) to finance the construction of the hotel. Needless to say that the loan "never" was paid, getting several more times to mortgage the property without receiving any prejudice on the part of the State's loan holder. Moreover Iurcovich also enables hotel and of course accumulated debts of several million in taxes not paid. Thus able to accumulate profits and continue succulent hotel management until 1997, when he made a sale of BAUEN Solari SA economic group of Chilean origin. Solari paid an initial fee of the sale as did the BANADE Iurcovich never paid the remainder of the agreement, all good guys ... Solari managed the hotel until 2001, where prior arrangement with creditors, he ends by declaring bankruptcy and the December 28, 2001, the hotel closes its doors, leaving more than 100 workers on the street without any explanation. Before had been the glory years of the hotel, the old campus of 200 workers and suddenly, the last 80 employees were final collapse of a years work space in the hotel business. Meanwhile in the country was developing the deepest crisis of our history and many workers in situations similar to those of the BAUEN hotel, began to walk the road to recovery of their companies, forming the National Movement of Recovered Companies (MNER). A group of employees in the last campus of the hotel did not exceed 20 members, made contact with the fledgling movement and began exploring the possibility of restoring the hotel. Finally, on March 21, 2003 was carried out recovery and great was the surprise it took to find the facilities in poor condition, with no running water, no gas, no ET, no blankets, crockery and furniture. But workers do not care, they had nothing to lose. Slowly and with the help of other cooperatives were put in a position to the hotel until they can reopen their doors in mid-2004, or nearly 3 years after closing. From there the story is more or less known. Begin to manage the cooperative hotel, reinvesting All profits made on repair of the building, providing rooms and community halls, the lower income sectors and creating an alternative cultural space in the heart of the city. Also won the support of all social organizations in the country and are also personalities from around the world who come to Buenos Aires to meet in person the management of workers. While Solari began to slowly disappear from history, family Iurcovich simulated a sale of the company BAUEN (original loan debtor BANADE) MERCOTELES putting the company as director of the same to Samuel Kaliman, brother of Iurcovich and claims in leading trade justice the broken record SOLARI, restitution of the property claiming to be a purchaser in good faith and ignoring any interaction with Iurcovich. Say: I sell to my brother created for this new name out of debt and so claim a building built with public funds from a loan that never paid. A true Argentine businessman! But workers continued their management demanding that the Argentine government to take action on the matter, the debt is charged with the now defunct BANADE staying at the hotel and allowing the cooperative to put it back up generating more than 100 new jobs work (20 workers cooperative campus grew to 160), is at least the same opportunity as Iurcovich, to pay the hotel at a reasonable time after such as the recovery process and collective management, they feel able to do it and want nothing to do with returning to work under pattern. Trade justice for one, do not allow the possibility of evaluating the complexity of the situation and after almost 4 years of cooperative management, just dictate the evacuation of the hotel in the hands of workers, because it believes that the brother in law Iurcovich through MERCOTELES company should be the long awaited building. For it gives the union 30 days later for the eviction, ignoring the terrible damage that can cause this failure not only to workers whose efforts have recovered the hotel, but the parties who have commitments to the cooperative and those who bet on that truth and justice are installed in the country forever. Well known, the role of 'figurehead Iurcovich "of his brother Samuel Kaliman, MERCOTELES owner and does not act in relation to the debt to the State. For now, the workers refuse to deliver the building and hope that once again, social organizations, artists who normally use cultural space of the huge building on Avenida Callao and anyone who really believes that another country is possible, to join the solidarity campaign with the cooperative to start thinking soon.
Ah !!!........ the Argentine State, mortgagee of the Iurcovich and last, the true owner of the hotel, no news ....

ROBIN WOOD: LIGHTS AND SHADOWS

adventure prolific storyteller, Editorial Columba flagship for decades in the country, the figure of Robin Wood has achieved paradigmatic dimension in local comics. Here an overview of his work, which highlights critical aspects in their scripts, some subjects distorted and "Western-right"
Side of the Mighty is dark. In the darkness stands a train stopped in the middle of nowhere as a strange shadow in the snow infinite. Two guards groan, leaning on their rifles, huddled around a small fire. They whisper in the dark, while around the rest of the convoy sleeps ... a soldier moaning in his sleep ... another coughing painfully ... - Do you feel the air? Soon came the cold ... what will happen then? is bad to fight with the heat, but when the snow falls will be hell ... "says the first, with mournful eyes. -A concerned we do not discuss that, comrade. We simply obey. And you know what happens with that doubt, "says the second, threatening, staring into the eyes of your partner. The first raises his head, afraid-I have never doubted, comrade, I swear ... I swear di-responds softly, looking at both sides, trying to discover the shade of some top middle of the night ... You hear someone sobbing ... Another grunt lost in the night.

Kosakovitch and Connors Back in the early 90's, Robin Wood wrote a series, with pictures of Garcia Duran, which lasted about 40 chapters. The adventures of two mercenaries nice (if that's possible) called KOSAKOVITCH and CONNORS, Dartagnan appeared in the magazine, editorial Columba, maintaining a long tradition of solitary heroes (theme in Robin Wood, mercenaries, in the 70 carried out a series of the same name) The adventures of these two characters, one a blue-blooded Polish half romantic, the other English banned from a British air force to bully and drunk, pass in the middle of wars of the early twentieth century. From Palestine, through various conflicts and civil wars in the Middle East (watching this little has changed), including part of the hosts of Lawrence of Arabia in its fight against the Turks. The vicissitudes of life and thirst for adventure lead to these soldiers of fortune to Soviet Russia, was immersed in a bloody civil war, haunted by the remnants of the Tsarist and Western powers that supported it. The two protagonists are engaged by followers of the Romanov family to free them from the clutches Bolsheviks, due to debt Kosacovitch, Polish, is with the deposed Czar. As we engage in conflict, quickly pass the ethical commitment (debt with former Tsar) to take a stand for him, facing the revolution.

The dialogue of the first paragraph belonging to one of these chapters and is a small sample of Manichaeism simpler than flies this stage of the series, hardly surprising coming from a publisher that does not allow not even a tit into the air. Political commissars bloodthirsty practice gratuitous violence against farmers (admittedly than whites, but the aristocrats, they also do well in these chapters), a Trotsky and hysterical screaming, threatening to kill half the world and a talkative Lenin, and all This opposed to a deliberate and wise Zar, an innocent grandfather, is a finished sample of the historical distortion that hides the series, which otherwise would be taken in solfa, but reading it today, does not cause any grace. The attempt to free the ex-Tsar Romanov reaches several chapters where the reader is witness to the shooting of a good man (which also charges in his arms with a sick child) and his family as if they were not responsible for the misery and hunger of the Russian population during the height of the Tsars. Perhaps the desire to maintain a loyal audience (police and army guys were avid readers of Columba) was Robin Wood to commit these outrages literary .... Or maybe not.
grandfather Fedor In chapter fifteen, THE LESSONS OF GRANDFATHER FEDOR, actors, accompanied by a princess fall from grace (obviously expropriated by the Bolsheviks), come to a miserable village inhabited by small farmers, witnesses indifferent to the civil war. Wisdom leader, an octogenarian ashen mustache, has no limit ... - We? We are farmers. We take care of the crops and nothing else ... but they will come and take our grain, our cattle and our youth, all in the name of Mother Russia--But the only Russian I know is that planting and harvesting. Maybe I am a limited man, but I can not think of any more ... - During the stay of the mercenaries, the village will be visited by the Czarist army, with its attendant violence and abuse, and both, ironically, must face his own side . Towards the end, the village will be the scene of confrontation between white and red, and the inhabitants decided to stay in the mold, as if that conflict were not deciding, in part, its destination. That's when the grandfather Fedor puts the finishing touch to his wise thoughts ... - Do you see? This is up to them. Fighting for their flags. We do so ... let's get ours. That is reality. The rest does not interest us. Did you forget Robin Wood made the Revolution Russian peasants and workers, and that the leadership of the Bolsheviks was the most genuine expression of the wishes of the people, tired of the abuses of the Romanov and his family, and caste ruler who so admires? Does not she know what the white army was primarily responsible for the massacres in Russia? Does forget that the reality of the peasants and workers changed dramatically, leaving an undetermined period of misery and hunger, with the fall of the Tsar and his minions? Fedor grandfather's speech is disturbing ... The villagers, innocent, in the middle of someone else's war, and two armies, equally matched, fighting over who knows what dark interests: Two demons that have nothing to do with us ... ... A two evils fascinating reading ...

If we trace the thread of most of the work of Robin, find a special feature in many of them: from Claim of colonialism and the false manhood (Here the Legion), admiration for the scheduled castes and kings (Dago), the fascination with the Tsar (The Cossacks) and the defense of law and order (Savarese), we get to a conclusion quite clear: their characters, sooner or later, are on the side of Power's vision is that of the conquerors, the Christian West and .... always the others are wild, their scripts might have fueled major studio film in the golden age of Hollywood ("Gunga Din," "Beau Geste," "The Charge of the Light Brigade") is not difficult to imagine how a screenplay by Robin serious about the war in Iraq ... I'm sure that terrorists would be on that side, and this, the champions of freedom. During my childhood, I was a voracious reader of the work of Robin Wood, and I know by heart the most important series of his career, and as I got older, I become aware of the view that it is in the world. While great narrator of adventures, at this point one can not ignore the ideas that seep into many, not all their scripts. conflicting Inevitably, when I think of all this, I am reminded of another great cartoon figure in Argentina, Hector German Oesterheld, which had much influence on several generations of readers ... His humanity, his search for reason and justice, are a true balance is more, the tilt in their favor. The patriotism of the first, second internationalism. A violence without reason, the reason for the violence. Abuse of the powerful commitment to the masses.

Finally, an interesting anecdote ...

several years ago, in a Comics Festival in Buenos Aires, through a recognized writer and a cartoonist, I had the chance to meet Robin Wood. No I can deny that it was an exciting time ... During the event, I shared a table in which Robin, accompanied by a group of fans unwilling to take the counter, just lecturing on this topic. The same said, humorous and ironic that in 70 years of turmoil, where ideologies wandered around the cultural arc through all disciplines, during a talk with students, they labeled him as an enemy of the working class ... For a long time , the office disqualifying those young people, with the argument that he knew what it is to work in a factory, and that his critics were simply revolutionary coffee ... By education, or perhaps time to not ruin the evening, or because he was facing one of the narrators who formed me in childhood, I refrained from giving my opinion, although he had very clear my arguments against it. Today, at a distance, it is evident that students were absolutely right. Ezequiel

"NO WORLD GOVERNMENT MADE LIKE AH nonsense"

On Tuesday July 17 different social and political organizations called for an act outside the headquarters Repsol-YPF for the nationalization of oil. Vilma Ripoll and Hector Bidondo, with others concerning the draft New Left and dozens of militants of the MST, were present.
Moments before the ceremony, we spoke with the film director Pino Solanas , only speaker of the event, representing the group MORENO. How do you evaluate your participation in this event against Repsol-YPF considering that it's something that has been calling for time? is an honor for us because we have been doing for years at this point, the recovery of oil and gas. Just Some things happen very serious as the ax for the Kirchner government has launched the renegotiation of concessions for Menem to grant extensions that lead up to forty years as in the case of the first oil field in the country located in Chubut, a site that handles a quarter of the reserves we have. The Government has granted together with the provinces of Chubut and Santa Cruz (because it is a site shared by the two provinces) for an extension until 2047 is that to the total exclusion of the resource. This is a situation that warns complete the entire Argentine people are to be used to provide resources for generations to come and do abominable situations. He gives the oil the possibility of free availability of oil and gas, that is, they can export all if they so wish. And have also set the same royalty was set Menem, the lowest in the continent by 12%. Oil companies also pay royalties extracted and according to his sworn statement because there is nobody to control anything. This is unacceptable. There is a light and irresponsible management of reserves and resources that are public, the provinces and the nation, finally, the Argentinean people. We are here to ask for several things, first the cancellation of this contract is harmful to the interests of the nation and the people. Then, as a short- term, should the government cancel the oil and gas exports. This is a scandal during the economic crisis course, in the middle of energy crisis, the government remains committed to deny ... Security. It continues to export oil and gas, ultimately what we are experiencing as a result of the crisis is privatization policies that leave it to the management of oil reserves. Sounds very technical but it is as if we had left to a private company managing the nation or the Central Bank. No government in the world has made such nonsense. We must end this situation. The government already spends on irresponsible and truth are harming the interests of the people. So the different social and political organizations should repudiate these actions today against Repsol-YPF, or wherever. In July of this year occurred in the courts for a writ of amparo and unconstitutionality of laws allowing the privatization of YPF and Gas del Estado. Already last year Fernando "Pino" Solanas introduced the first application to request the unconstitutionality of such laws. His latest film, "Dormant Argentina", is part of a string of films about the fact that Argentina was beginning to "Memories of Plunder" (2004) and continued with "The Dignity of the Nobodies" (2005). With directing, writing and production of Solanas, "Latent Argentina is a clear testimony to the capabilities we have. Technicians, physicists, engineers and teachers who help support the country every day and you see the need to address not only the poverty in which they find themselves, but also various obstacles: exploitation, lack of resources, drain professionals etc. but thanks to the workers, our science and technology continues to advance.

CULTURAL PRESENTATION MODE

Something had to set to open this blog and I will go back to basics. From the team of Art and Culture of the Socialist Workers Movement we seek, first, nuclear activists and artists that we felt was important to take the experience and tradition of our current policy in the field of art and culture, primarily the Front MAS Artists eighties. During that decade there was an underground cultural movement impressive and highly politicized, that later, during the nineties, it was disintegrating. Now, at this stage after Argentinazo, is being formed, slowly and molecularly, a new cultural movement, with new features and new actors. Our mission is to be natural part of it, integrate and multiply. In that we.
We also composed the team together and to strengthen ties of solidarity between us as artists, producers. Alone, each on his side and in the midst of an economic and social situation getting worse, little can be done. Together, the possibilities are endless.
At the same time we seek to be attentive to the conflicts inherent in the sector to act in solidarity and support for the struggles that give cultural workers, which are becoming more due to the policies that successive governments have been carrying forward.
Finally, not least, is the question of political and intellectual training. We claim the Manifesto for an Independent Revolutionary Art and written by Breton and Trotsky, and many other classic texts that we will be discussing, but we must re-read many of them as well as an investigation of new writings, beyond developing its own production.
Stalinist Socialist Realism is the ultimate expression of what the left has to do with respect to art and culture. So we have a need, a duty, which is building a New Left to collaborate in building a new culture so that more can be real socialist fantasies that we want.
