Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Anyone who was at the Boycott Coke Public Meeting in Dublin remember the name of the Colombian Trade Unionist who gave the talk?
Ermelina or María Mosquera.
On indymedia it states Ermelina but I found another article in the Mandate Newsletter stating María.
until it ends up being a single sentence:
"you have the right to do as you are told".
the name is María Ermelina Mosquera Jaramillo.
it is common to abreviate these latin names to
Mª Ermelina Mosquera
or sometimes
Ermelina Mosquera.
you might even see Ermelina Mª Mosquera written.
But as long it has the Ermelina and the Mosquera you know who it is, you don't even have to wrroy about the Jaramillo. & sure I see you didn't!!
Thanks a million Mr.Finnerty.
Hey Sean,
It was Ermelina Mosquera.
Hope that helps.

And whenever the government/Garda finds that people can still mount protests
they simply add new laws or extend existing ones. What we have my friends is
a steady but persisent erosion of our liberties.
At the same time with their obedient corporate press, they continually attempt
to label those who monitor and try to protect our civil liberties as radicals
or extremists of some kind. They do not want the 'ordinary' people to give any
thought to their civil liberties/rights and thereby they will automatically be
blind to how much they have been eroded. They do this with the implicit argument
that if you do nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about. This message
clearly comes across.
On another vein I can recall numerous people saying to me that they wouldn't attend
anti-war protests for fear of considered radical or worse being involved in 'trouble'
of some kind. What this shows is that people deep down have got the message and
are afraid of being 'spotted' and thus being labelled radical. They know then that
in the eyes of the law they will deemed to have switched sides and they are aware
of the retribution that the State can bring down on them.
So in a certain sense the public buys into the line that they will be okay as long
as they 'do nothing wrong' and people know that 'doing something wrong' means
attending protests and meetings or showing any other form of dissent.
Why else were so many of us told that protesting makes no difference? Because
they know the score. This issue is strongly linked to the level of apathy
in society.
And much of what is said here applies in most other countries too.
