2:06 pm
places, new expectations of life, where in addition, the conditions are also bad. what happened, what's left? argentina becomes a colony of the united states who is going to give away its natural resources to north american companies such as lithium, right? they have recently approved a special law in this regard that protects the interests of the americans, the property of americans. without doubt, at the same time, it has come into contradiction with its.
2:07 pm
do not forget that he has demanded the payments of $75,00 to the popular organizations that have raised the current protests in argentina. this is black and white, i'm eduardo artes. hoy día vamos a trabajar en profundidad sobre las causas. to deeply discuss the causes and consequences of havier malay's election, how was he chosen, what was the background, and what are the results of the views and interests of the workers? salidas que hay desde un punto de vista popular, de los intereses de los trabajadores, porque estamos today we are
2:08 pm
with a high-ranking syndicate leader. welcome back to black and white, jorge ramirez, university lecturer and leader of the argentine union at the national level.
2:09 pm
was one of the causes of this situation, and the current situation in argentina is because an extremist president has come to power there whose statements even before the elections have really been deplorable for the... the society, but definitely a high percentage of the society has expressed dissatisfaction with the traditional politics of argentina with paronism and the previous government at that time, despite the promises and discourse of the so-called defense of the sovereignty and interests of the people, what happened was a gradual decline in the living conditions of the vast majority of people which exacerbated in recent months, this issue is clearly... related to the agreement that was made between the previous government and the international monetary fund as well as the adoption of policies that we have repeatedly seen in different countries of the world and specifically in argentina, which include the reaction of government investments and this action causes a large
2:10 pm
part of the economy to shrink. in fact, the health sector and education sector were damaged. argentina has always been proud of these two sectors, public health. and public education, despite the fact that candidate suddenly comes along and pursues the elimination of government systems and seeks complete privatization of education and health sectors the... majority of people, at least the part that participated in the election, chose this candidate, but today they're clearly tired of the past experiences. they are tired of pushing themselves towards the great powers, or in some cases dealing with centralized or imperialist interests, but never severing their fundamental connection with capitalism and still having their country depend on it. they are tired of the fact that only one or few specific. in the society benefit and at the same time they try to have level of
2:11 pm
freedom through which they can direct the political performance of the governments in the direction of their desire, but this issue showed its ineffectiveness over time, because in practice for the majority of the society this meant a continuous lowering of the standard of living conditions. after all, there were many things that made argentinanes proud such as workers rights, the worker. social security system, which is undoubtedly an indicator of superiority compared to other countries, and also compensation regulations, the defense of workers interest in lawsuits, and the consideration of workers in legislation. regarding these indicators, argentina was far ahead compared to other countries, but today none of these things are important anymore, because the number of people who have official words and their jobs are registered is decreased. include part of the working class do not benefit the rest.
2:12 pm
there is no pension, compensation or social security for them. these benefits do not include a part of the society whose number is growing. therefore, in such a situation, the possibility of responding to political parties which have been in power in the past years has decreased. common discourse in extreme right-wing parties around the world has a spread here as well, and they say that politics was the cause of this issue, and they blame politics. they deny movements that bring progress and say that public health and government jobs are harmful. they say government costs are the biggest problem. this discourse has penetrated a large part of the society, and now it has led to the election of president miley. this discourse still. has level of acceptability, although its specific effects were very severe from
2:13 pm
the beginning. in the past, we have talked about these issues and the shock doctrine, deep and radical changes against the vast majority of the society, the loss of workers rights, the destruction of the scientific system, the destruction of the government health structure through the elimination of funding. similar efforts have been made for this purpose in our country and other latin american countries, what the... these efforts have in common, however, is that they've been swift and violent and have publicly threatened to suppress any popular protests and regarding this threat of repression? yes, well, there was a background, someone paved the way for us to get here, and you explain it.
2:14 pm
estamos acá no es cierto con jorge ramírez y continuamos en negro y blanco eh jorge inmediatamente instalada o instalado. here we are with jorge ramirez and we continue black and white. jorge immediately after the start
2:15 pm
the miley government, we saw demonstrations which were covered very well by the chilean press and it was definitely talked about in all spanish speaking countries and all countries of the world. what are these demonstrations? what sections of society do they represent? and finally, what is the content of the demonstrations? and do you refer to this as a sp? o es algo muy espontáneo, bueno hay un poco de cada componente, este por un lado eh. political spectrum were present in this demonstration. on the other hand, there are calls from the leftist groups, various leftist groups, the call at the same time as the anniversary of that memorable event in the history of argentina, december 20, 2001. on this date, huge crowds of argentinies across the country took to the streets and defied the martial
2:16 pm
law and overthrew a new liberal government led by fernando de la rua. during this. anniversary a call was announced which coincided with the 10th day of the start of the malay government. this demonstration was generally organized by human rights organizations, various groups in the left-wing and some social organizations. participation by groups close to the previous government was low, preferring to use social media for criticism to avoid the repercussions, as the government had announced early on that it would use force to crackdown and warned that it would not allow the streets to be closed, and considering these conditions, they try to hold demonstrations on the sidewalks, because passers by are not important to the government and cars are the problem, therefore thousands of people tried to demonstrate in the sidewalks, but this did not happen, people demonstrated, but with caution to avoid falling into the trap of
2:17 pm
incitement, but the media, most of the media expressed their concern about the, possibility of violence and closing the streets and said that this is the main problem, it's as if people don't want food, education or health, and they try to block the street, this level of contradiction is the dominant discourse of most media in our country, media that has lot of influence gran impacto, me refiero, entonces eso fue, alberto fernández eh... en un twitter dice que es la república la que está en peligro, former president of argentina announced on twitter, formerly known as x, that the republic is in danger. it is strange because he himself caused this to happen. as you yourself say, we're facing a repression that can be very strong. for us in chile, this
2:18 pm
issue has attracted our attention, because this policy was implemented during the...
2:19 pm
clearly, the protest will have a different form in terms of political guidance, it is clear that in the previous government there are sections that claim to be leftist and participated in the government of albert fernandez, and today they're in the same political environment that is currently called union for the fatherland, but what one sees is how some sectors are disintegrating and reorganizing in the face of this unslot from malay. as you rightly point out previously, programs of this depth were only implemented by dictatorial regimes. in many ways, it's very similar to what carlos menom did here, but in this case the immediate effects of the actions are too difficult for the majority of people. in this situation, one can see that a trend will definitely
2:20 pm
change the makeup of the political scene, so similar to what we saw in 2001 and we saw the formation of a politic. management for the demonstrations, mean the demonstrations that were very large and inclusive and there was a lot of participation in them, we also saw a similar situation few years ago, demonstrations that are very crowded, extensive, demanding and have the clear program, but it was able to lead a political process of autonomy, independence, social freedom in the society in which the majority has the authority of its own destiny, this will definitely happen until today, apart from the words that are being said, we have not seen larger scale demonstrations by the communist party and the field of peroonis and groups that are closer to popular. demands and have planned demands regarding national independence and the working classes of fundamental part, we have not seen them play a significant role until this moment. of
2:21 pm
course, they're changing the situation and defining new positions in facing the new arena. also, it does not seem practical that some small and new organizations can enter the field of struggle against this extreme brutality in argentina. the proposed programs are very reactionary and related to the... la propiedad sin ningún tipo de cómo se llama de traba ninguna ni beneficio casi para argentina, he even wants a special law to
2:22 pm
protect americans and their property, and this law has almost no benefit for argentina. therefore it is true that the policy of malay hurts the poor, workers and ethnic groups, but they also harm the small and medium and part of the company owners. fact, what it looks like from here is the creation of a great anti-imperialist front, because what is happening in argentina is not unrelated to what is happening in the world around the conflict between american imperialism and us, they want us to surrender and not let a new relationship between y llevarnos a impedir no que simplemente se cree una nueva relación entre los países, eso es muy claro este. in this is very clear, the country's submission to us policy is quite clear, this is very obvious with the example you provided, we're
2:23 pm
witnessing the dismantling of the law of restricting the right to purchase land by foreigners who are allowed to buy water areas, rivers and various resources of the country. they call this freedom. this is the literature of the extreme right all over the world, but clearly here, beyond what seems like rhetoric, these actions mean the imposition of the great ambitions of imperialism, subduing the economy based on their own needs and eliminating any kind of national production, although the bourgeoisy in argentina in recent times have not been distinctly nationalist and their sections that have interests. domestic markets give them life as well as some others who try to maintain some degree of self-sufficiency in production and see that there now. practically eliminated, therefore there is no question about creating a front that can stand in the face of these issues and the type of personality that makes this possible
2:24 pm
in the anti-imperialist personality. we have one minute left and in this short time we would like to hear your words please, and we would like them to be focused on the academic world, which we in chile and many latin american countries have lot of respect for, because it is free. and very inclusive, please let me know what you think about this, how does this section get damaged? yes, without a doubt, so far what is clear is that the budget is going to be cut and the resources will only be there until march or april, both in the practical system and in public universities. this means the disarmament of argentina in a very necessary case, which is the discussion of identity construction and education of... scientists, researchers and artists and public universities. this is marginalizing people who play an irreplaceable role in building the country. they want to bring them under
2:25 pm
the law of the market, in which the strongest is american imperialism. yes, that's right, we are looking forward to hearing new things in the news and i believe that will surely happen, because the argentine nation has a history of very... hard and breathtaking struggles, and we wish for complete success in defending national sovereignty in the form of an anti- imperialist personality against this pro-american and pro zionist government. jorge ramirez, thank you very much. this is black and white. thank you very much for the invitation that gave me the opportunity to describe what is happening in argentina. the oppressed nations of the world should have started joint to struggle.
2:26 pm
israel's genocide on the people of palestine in gaza and the occupied west bank has cost thousands of lives. it has also caused a massive labor shortage. we're talking about, i think here primarily about cross border workers, that is to say, workers who live in um the west bank and commute to work in israel. that's that's quite a large economic volume, particularly locally, around five and a half billion. usd per year. these are some the factors plaging the occupied west bank. so israel see these uh this um shortage of workers uh that they've created shortage of palestinian workers. it's only a temporary measure.
2:27 pm
in this week's show we'll be looking at south africa's momentous application to the international court of justice. in his comprehensive 84 page submission, south africa sets out the legal basis for his contention that israel is perpetrating genocide in gaza. you you have this pattern the the west uh, obviously not just germany, but you fully expect the british government. that the us government of course has been completely dismissive of what south africa has done uh that continue this uh imperialist posture and of course it was south africa at first and it was only that for quite a while and then all of sudden a trickle other countries join bolivia amongst them and then of course laterally bangladesh joins and you've got a whole list of countries i think um around about 20 possibly more.
