The president of the Provincial Civic Committees, José Ernesto Serrate, will participate in a meeting with all the civic of the Chiquitano block this Thursday, July 22, in San José de Chiquitos. The meeting aims unify protest actions and “make ourselves heard” due to the land demands demanded by the indigenous people of the region.
“The Chiquitanos Peoples they are still on alert for the lack of response what do they get by INRA, “Serrate stressed. “The assaults continue day by day” in the Chiquitanos municipalities and even entry to protected areas has been recorded. The civic meeting will analyze the actions “necessary for us to make ourselves heard “and, among them, route blocking is not ruled out.
Serrate demands a dialogue with the INRA authorities who, so far, have ignored the call for a meeting of the Departmental Agrarian Commission (CAD), “which is recognized by law and is still in force.” Even, as determined in the frustrated meeting of the CAD, the civic They are studying filing a complaint for “non-fulfillment of functions” against the authorities of INRA.
The provincial responsible for civics observes the little interest shown by INRA to attend to requests from Santa Cruz institutions or from the indigenous people of eastern Bolivia. Faced with this slight, Serrate proposes a change in strategy. “We can’t go on living that way. Let’s leave the calm that we have had, they continue to overwhelm usThey keep running over us, they keep doing what they want with our territory, “he says.
2,000 new communities under the MAS government
Civics qualify as bullies land endowments authorized by INRA but they lack the approval of the Departmental Agrarian Commission. “None of the 2,000 communities settled during the Government of the Movement for Socialism (MAS) have that approval,” Serrate denounces. Furthermore, it points out that the authorization also requires the approval of the municipalities.
As a reference, it shows some figures that contextualize the land situation in the department. “In Concepción they are approximately 300 new communities, of which only 30 have their recognition for the municipality because they managed to obtain legal status. The others do not have them, “reveals the civic. He clarifies that they have not regularized this situation for more than 10 years.
Similar situations occur in other municipalities. Serrate counts about 350 communities in San Ignacio de Velasco, of which only 50 would have legal status. In San José it stands out that they are about 500 and only about 100 would be regularized.
“In San Miguel, of 75 orders of settlement, all are ghosts; they are only on paper, “denounces the provincial civic. The reality in San Rafael reveals that, of 138 identified communities, only 28 would be legally settled.”20 are chiquitanas and more than 100 are ghosts, “he says.
In accordance with what was agreed upon in the Departmental Agrarian Commission, at the meeting to be held in San José de Chiquitos “we will demand that there be audit to know who are those who are in our territory and those that do not fulfill the Social Economic Function will be reversed as the law says “.
