ROBERTO LOPEZ Qom and militant of the CCC
martyr of the struggle for land
Miguel reproduce a statement Angel Rios, coordinator of the CCC of Formosa.
There were no secrets in the bush for him. That day I knew the danger, that day her body shuddered qom strong does the advance of the Celia and the task force led by the curator Muñiz, the same young torturer and murderer of many others in the 5th police station. Robert fought with all his strength, he gave his life, he pulled it out among several policemen and civilians armed to the teeth ... And today the land goes What they thought, they were going to be just like that the land of the Qom? 518 years ago that with other indigenous peoples resist, struggle, sometimes with passive forms. No, there was Roberto Lopez along with some of his people, in the first line of fire ...
"If we were bad as Insfrán sure if we have behaved as bad, had been for them, much worse ..." said G., who lives in the community.
Many young people were brutally beaten, many women and old people too, with a vengeance, with impiety. Justice, justice calls the Qom people ... Roberto runs "his" mountain, alert, he will pray to give even more strength to his brothers. He with his brave conduct has galvanized the spirit of his noble community. "With a heart full of tears ... and with all your strength, keep our land claims ... "L. says vibrant voice in full assembly.
The English conquistadors called it contemptuously "tovah" because they saw frentones, since shaved their heads at the front on the death of a loved one. They prefer to call Qom, for dignity, for the pure dignity laying hold up despite malnutrition, tuberculosis, Chagas silent, syphilis and lack of health care.
is the land, stupid
Gildo was a deputy provincial Insfrán 4 years and 8 deputy. Since 1995 the governor of Formosa, perhaps the poorest in the country. During this period closed all the demotic, closed the textile Formosa (Espadrilles), the branch 25 of the railroad stopped his travels, the Juicer Citrux emigrated. 10% of the population, possibly more, are Aboriginal: Qom, Wichí and pilagás. Bearing land, occupied with or without title, are own by origin, by preexistence, for ancestors. Is land. The motherland and shelter. The land belongs to them. Unit two: land and man, unit very difficult to divide because it is The identities of the Qom, identity seared in wrinkled skin still revive the fury of all time. Seize land they want, once again, just like 518 years ago. Alert
, Roberto Lopez, warrior Qom, a member of the CCC. Monitors, silent. It sits on a stone patient, prepare for long struggle. The enemy lies, hide the nails, it is the victim. Mata and cries, as the crocodile attacks what he calls "brothers" at election time.
So cut the route. To be visible in this story. Like all excluded from Argentina. Prevent the passage to say we are here! We, us common names like Full men and women, who have threatened their future, their children, their identity ... "There are some whites" thunders the Insfrán government, "they fill your head with roadblocks" Do not you realize that the Qom and other native peoples adopted the form of roadblocks as a tactic in its peaceful long bout of resistance and struggle?
qom The people have had enough
Roberto Lopez, warrior Qom, a member of the CCC, 62, sharpens his knife hunter, alert, think, you know, great battles ahead. His beloved people of Qom have had enough abuse, enough killing, enough of injustice. Runs through marshes and swamps. Notes destroyed homes, plantations destroyed, the wells plugged, the path dipped in blood, blood Qom.
silence the assembly last Saturday, 5. You hear the voice of Brother Felix Diaz from Buenos Aires, which reports that the minister Randazzo recognizes that land is not owned by Celia, who agrees to return them to the community. Not a word of Roberto Lopez. Not a whisper of who killed him. No news on who ordered the police and civilian shooting. A Qom at the meeting states: "Make a right on indigenous people and they answer with bullets."
"A very big tear fell here in the community," says Dalmacio. A tear falls from any sky. Route 86 runs through like a raging river of blood that stains Qom.
justice, police, Celia, Governor Insfrán. None of them can with these tears.

Your attitude, your courage, lights the way to the end of injustice. Ever onward to victory. Venceremos.
