In these upcoming elections i'm going to vote. Why? Because it is necesary. I'm a believer that democracy starts in the communitys, in the daily organization of people around their daliy problems. From there we can advance to more complex problems like the lifes in our work or schools, everything with the objective to ensure our social rights. Today all of this process crash with a wall makes of laws and a constitution inherited from the dictatorship that blocks our rights and organization. We have to break this wall with more radical movements in the streets and organization, but we can't allow that the people who take our rights from us keep their position in the government and keep the power only for a minority. This municipal election can be a beginning to this. Our vote have to respond to people's voice and social movement, so a candidate is someone who is consistent with his community and the social movements where he or she "born". A Mayor has the attribution to influence in development of local power; A Mayor could be a support to the local organization in stead of a wall.
I have to clear that never a electoralist strategy is better than people's organization.
An example of what i'm saying: Ukamau is an organization that choose go to election after years of work and achievements in Estación Central
we agreement in the point that never a electoralist strategy is better tha the people organization , i think that if we have this point clear , the building of a new alternative is near.
