REFERENDUMS and differences: WATER no reelection.

By: Aelia

really should be more careful with initiatives and proposals that we voted to change the laws, and therefore, as a simple logical fact, we should be more careful with those people to whom we give them the power to govern and decide about our social and political life ... and unfortunately tried this, a long democratic process to do at the end do what they want.

I find it interesting as an example to address the situation created by the Colombian referendum for water.

Various social and environmental organizations, unions, ethnic communities, users of public services, etc., They agreed on the need for serious change in reference to access, use and quality of the rules governing one of the most important and vital resource without which our body could not survive: water.

on our planet less than 1% is fresh water available, a situation that is compounded if we take into account world population growth, pollution, excessive exlplotacion of aquifers and more etceteras.

The Colombian project looks like first and most important assumption, guarantee to all Colombians access to potable water, making this resource in a public good by regulating and controlling the exploitation of this natural resource.

well This initiative aims to promote and update the status of all Colombians who for various reasons and economic and social circumstances, can not afford and / or access to this vital resource of a legal, because they can not afford and all that if they can afford, but think they should not pay for a natural resource that is on earth and vital to our existence and therefore should not be used privately for profit but for our use and responsible and I repeat again, vital. In the latter group, although not in Colombia, including me.

After the hard work of everyone involved and interested in this project, to manage and conduct the referendum, to exchange and discuss regionally different proposals and approaches and especially take all the costs that a referendum is financially and logistically at the organizational level, the project has finally have a structure to be submitted to the government.

What is surprising about the situation was that after being under consideration by parliament, the Congress eliminate all essential points of the proposal and change the whole meaning and moral values \u200b\u200bof it, transforming this project in a new project, quite contrary to the will of the undersigned citizens.

In this "new referendum" broad rights private property rights and establishes water management for profit. And if this were not enough, the initiative made material on October 15, 2008, just had a debate on the "Commission I" camera, with risks as well as deferred for discussion.

On the contrary, the referendum for re-election of current President Uribe, launched in September 2008, has already been four instances of discussion and study on the cameras and be sure completed for approval before the end of this term ...

Apart from the exploitation of water for public supply, there is also an interesting, mysterious and a bit murky status of the market for the sale of bottled water. According to the publication "blue gold" Maude Barlow, National Chairperson Council of Canadians (Council of Canadians) and the Committee on Globalization IFG water, "of 1,000 million cubic meters that were bottled in step 1970, to 84,000 million in the 2,000.

This sales last year amounted to 22,000 million dollars and important producers of beverages such as Coca - Cola and Pepsi - Cola have been engaged in the business of bottling and sale water. "

I think about the facts to see that every law, a loophole, and given our power, leaves us quite aside the question of governance. Embedded in the time machine, go back to the feudal monarchies.
