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.
