Urgent Actions |
Friday, 05 October 2007 16:56 |
According to Álvaro Uribe, the paramilitary groups have demobilised, however the truth is that they are more active than ever. Each time the government and the management of Ecopetrol implement programmes of privatisation of the the Colombian peoples’ state oil corporation, or hand over our natural resources, the threats against the union increase. This is what is happening now as we, the workers, are against the sale of ECOPETROL shares. ENGLISH / ESPAÑOL ENGLISH
FACTS: · On Friday, 21st September 2007, comrade RODOLFO VECINO ACEVEDO was threatened by the following email:

ACCION URGENTE NUEVAS AMENAZAS CONTRA DIRIGENCIA DE LA USO BOGOTA, SEPTIEMBRE 25 DE 2007
Según Álvaro Uribe, los grupos paramilitares se desmovilizaron, pero lo real es que continúan más activos que nunca.
Cada vez que el gobierno y la administración de ECOPETROL implementan programas de privatización de la Empresa de los colombianos, o de entrega de nuestros recursos naturales, se incrementan las amenazas contra el sindicato, como ahora cuando los trabajadores estamos en contra de la venta de las acciones de ECOPETROL.
