  <body>&lt;p&gt;517 YEARS OF RESISTANCE&lt;br /&gt;12th October is an international day of protest in solidarity with indigenous&lt;br /&gt;people and against global warming - a &quot;Global mobilisation for Mother Earth&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Come and join us to support the &quot;Minga&quot; of indigenous resistance called by the&lt;br /&gt;Coordinadora Andina de Organizaciones Indigenas (CAOI). We support the struggle&lt;br /&gt;of Latin American native peoples and protest against the Free Trade Agreement&lt;br /&gt;with the European Union and agro-fuels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the Department for Energy and Climate Change we will join the Agro-fuels don't &lt;br /&gt;ROC(k)! demonstration against renewable energysubsidies for Agro-fuels called by &lt;br /&gt;the Campaign against Climate Change, Biofuelwatch and Food Not Fuel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NO TO EU FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS!&lt;br /&gt;The European Union (EU) plans to open up the Andean region's services,&lt;br /&gt;natural resources and biodiversity to even greater despoliation by pushing&lt;br /&gt;through Free Trade Agreements that favour multinational corporations. The deals&lt;br /&gt;made behind closed doors by the governments of Colombia and Peru are a threat&lt;br /&gt;to Andean integration. The EU is trying to isolate the progressive governments&lt;br /&gt;of Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela. Alongside them are the indigenous peoples&lt;br /&gt;and their organisations who were never consulted over the negotiation process.&lt;br /&gt;Indigenous peoples do not recognise the EU agreements because they will destroy&lt;br /&gt;ancestral territorial rights and collective knowledge. The UK government is&lt;br /&gt;particularly responsible for this policy - the former EU Trade Commissioner was&lt;br /&gt;Peter Mandelson who has been replaced by another Labour politician, Baroness&lt;br /&gt;Cathy Ashton.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FOOD NOT FUEL!&lt;br /&gt;The UK government is diverting renewable energy subsidies to subsidise power&lt;br /&gt;stations that use agro-fuels. While the UK's last but one factory producing&lt;br /&gt;wind turbines has closed and solar energy firms are struggling, vast &quot;renewable&lt;br /&gt;energy&quot; funding is going to agro-fuels which actually make global warming worse&lt;br /&gt;and threat food security around the world. In Colombia the cultivation of&lt;br /&gt;African Palm for agro-fuels is linked with displacement and violence, while&lt;br /&gt;destroying biodiversity and the fertility of the soil.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;INDIGENOUS RESISTANCE - VIVA LA MINGA!&lt;br /&gt;The indigenous people have had enough; they will not put up with false&lt;br /&gt;promises, lies and trickery any more. They are out on the streets fighting: to&lt;br /&gt;&quot;liberate Mother Earth&quot; from the destructive alliance between multinational&lt;br /&gt;corporations and local elites, and for a dignified future for their children&lt;br /&gt;and their communities. They are a moral force rising from below to reclaim what&lt;br /&gt;is justly theirs, life itself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;517 A&amp;Ntilde;OS DE RESISTENCIA&lt;br /&gt;Por la vida y la MadreTierra!&lt;br /&gt;12 de Octubre - d&amp;iacute;a internacional de solidaridad con los Pueblos Ind&amp;iacute;genas y&lt;br /&gt;de protesta contra el calentamiento global - &quot;Minga Global por la Madre Tierra&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Acomp&amp;aacute;&amp;ntilde;anos y apoya la Minga de resistencia Ind&amp;iacute;gena organizada por la&lt;br /&gt;Coordinadora Andina de Organizaciones Ind&amp;iacute;genas (CAOI). Apoyamos la lucha de&lt;br /&gt;los Pueblos Ind&amp;iacute;genas Latino Americanos y protestamos en contra del Tratado De&lt;br /&gt;Libre Comercio (TLC) con la Uni&amp;oacute;n Europea (UE) y los agro-combustibles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;iexcl;NO AL TRATADO DE LIBRE COMERCIO!&lt;br /&gt;La UE planea abrir los servicios, los recursos naturales y la biodiversidad de&lt;br /&gt;la regi&amp;oacute;n Andina, aumentando el despojo, por medio de Tratados de Libre&lt;br /&gt;Comercio los cuales favorecen a las corporaciones multinacionales. Estas&lt;br /&gt;negociaciones a puerta cerrada con los gobiernos de Colombia y Per&amp;uacute; ponen en&lt;br /&gt;peligro la integraci&amp;oacute;n Andina. La UE esta tratando de aislar los gobiernos&lt;br /&gt;progresivos de Bolivia, Ecuador y Venezuela. Con ellos est&amp;aacute;n los pueblos&lt;br /&gt;Ind&amp;iacute;genas y sus organizaciones las cuales nunca fueron consultadas durante el&lt;br /&gt;periodo de negociaci&amp;oacute;n. Los Pueblos Ind&amp;iacute;genas no reconocen estos Tratados ya&lt;br /&gt;que ellos destruyen sus derechos territoriales ancestrales y su sabidur&amp;iacute;a&lt;br /&gt;colectiva. El gobierno del Reino Unido es particularmente responsable por esta&lt;br /&gt;pol&amp;iacute;tica: el anterior Comisionado de Comercio en la UE era Peter Mandelson&lt;br /&gt;quien ha sido remplazado por otro pol&amp;iacute;tico del mismo partido (Labour) Baroness&lt;br /&gt;Cathy Asthon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;iexcl;COMIDA, NO COMBUSTIBLE!&lt;br /&gt;El gobierno del Reino Unido esta desviando los subsidios a la energ&amp;iacute;a&lt;br /&gt;renovable para subsidiar plantas que utilizan agro-combustibles. Solo queda una&lt;br /&gt;fabrica de turbinas de viento en todo el pa&amp;iacute;s y las compa&amp;ntilde;&amp;iacute;as de energ&amp;iacute;a&lt;br /&gt;solar se encuentran al borde de la quiebra. Grandes cantidades de dinero para&lt;br /&gt;la &quot;energ&amp;iacute;a renovable&quot; est&amp;aacute;n siendo desviadas para los agro-combustibles&lt;br /&gt;los cuales contribuyen al calentamiento global y amenazan la seguridad&lt;br /&gt;alimentaria en el mundo. El cultivo de palma Africana en Colombia, para la&lt;br /&gt;producci&amp;oacute;n de combustible, est&amp;aacute; relacionada con desplazamientos forzado,&lt;br /&gt;violencia, destrucci&amp;oacute;n de la biodiversidad y la fertilidad de la tierra.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;iexcl;RESISTENCIA INDIGENA - VIVA LA MINGA!&lt;br /&gt;Los Pueblos Ind&amp;iacute;genas ya est&amp;aacute;n cansados, no creer&amp;aacute;n mas en falsas promesas y&lt;br /&gt;mentiras. Ellos est&amp;aacute;n en las calles luchando para &amp;lsquo;liberar a la Pachamama -&lt;br /&gt;Madre Tierra' de la alianza destructiva de las multinacionales con las&lt;br /&gt;&amp;eacute;lites locales, y por el futuro y la dignidad de sus ni&amp;ntilde;os y sus comunidades.&lt;br /&gt;Ellos son una fuerza moral que se levanta para reclamar lo que le pertenece, la&lt;br /&gt;vida misma.&lt;/p&gt;
