06.08.2005 Un ambiente de tensión es lo que se ha vuelto a vivir en la frontera norte que comparten Haití y la República Dominicana, luego de que ayer enardecidos dominicanos incendiaran viviendas propiedad de haitianos y las autoridades de migración y las Fuerzas Armadas repatriaran a decenas de haitianos ante el temor que se pueda volver a producir una situación similar a la de Hatillo Palma.

Tigre suelto contra burro amarrado.  Caricatura contra el TLC
04.08.2005 Para algunos la aprobación del Tratado de Libre Comercio entre Centroamérica y República Dominicana (TLC-RD) con Estados Unidos es lo mejor con que se puede comenzar el siglo, mientras que para otros no. Pero lo que será inevitable es que Costa Rica pague $116 millones de un préstamo por la denominada "agenda complementaria" de ese tratado como una transición hacia el comienzo del mismo.

04.08.2005 At 12:03 am on July 28th, the House of Representatives approved the Central America-Dominican Republic-United States Free Trade Agreement, CAFTA. CAFTA, which would expand NAFTA to Central America and the Dominican Republic, would devastate farmers, privatize essential public services, and accelerate the race to the bottom on wages in the US and all over Central America.

01.08.2005 After months of White House lobbying, the Central American Free Trade Agreement, which Oxfam says will "institutionalize an uneven playing field," was passed in Congress late last week.

Protest in Washington: “Global Solidarity, Not Plunder. Resist CAFTA.”
27.07.2005 International agency Oxfam called on US Members of Congress today to reject the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Central American countries and the Dominican Republic (DR-CAFTA.) Oxfam believes that the agreement, in its current form, will do more harm than good and will endanger the livelihood of many thousands of small farmers who already live in poverty.

12.07.2005 Approaching a Congressional vote, CAFTA--the trade agreement between the U.S. and Central America--will repeat NAFTA's failures, says Moving Ideas. Similar to its sister policy, CAFTA will expand corporate power, displace family farmers, privatize public services, and undermine workers' rights, the environment, and public health, they argue.

Protest in Washington: “Global Solidarity, Not Plunder. Resist CAFTA.”
12.07.2005 Barley passing the Senate--with the closest margin in history for a free trade agreement--CAFTA is approaching a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives. It has the potential to ruin family farmers in the U.S. and devastate millions in Central America, says Oxfam America, asking citizens to write Congress and tell them that trade deals should help, not harm, working people.
