El movimiento 10 de abril para defensa del Río Tabasará
Frente a las acciones mal intencionadas del gobierno y de la empresa GENISA SA, cuyo único propósito es imponer sobre la voluntad popular del pueblo Ngäbe Bukle y campesino, el proyecto Hidroeléctrico Barro Blanco en el Rio Tabasará, ante la misma, queremos reiterar nuestra oposición ante la faz del país.
Que el gobierno Nacional, a través del Vice-Ministro de gobierno y Justicia Luis Ernesto Carles, se burló de las buenas intenciones del pueblo Ngäbe Bukle, entretuvo a la dirigencia indígena y aplicando las más sucias estrategias maquiavélicas de dilatar el conflicto, se levantó de la mesa de diálogo, rompiendo los acuerdos de conversaciones; con ello logra que la Policía Nacional invada violentamente al sitio del proyecto, para que la empresa GENISA SA. Inicie la construcción del proyecto Hidroeléctrico, en contra del querer de las verdaderas autoridades indígenas del pueblo Ngäbe Bukle.
Como no logran ningún acuerdo con los legítimos dirigentes del Movimiento M-10, el gobierno y la empresa GENISA, maniobra luego de romper el dialogo con las comunidades; bajo mesa renegocia con la pseudo dirigente del Congreso por delegados de la Región Kadriri, Ercilia Mendoza, misma que fue impuesta por el Gobierno Nacional con menos del diez por ciento del voto de aquellas farsa electoral organizada por el Tribunal electoral en octubre del año 2010; estas elecciones espurias hace desconocimiento de la autentica dirigencia tradicional Ngäbe BuKle liderado por el Ingeniero agrónomo Celio Guerra elegido por abrumadora mayoría quien se ha caracterizado por su vehemente oposición de tales inconsultos proyectos mineros e hidroeléctricas en detrimento de la Comarca Ngäbe Bukle.
En este mismo sentido el pueblo Ngäbe BuKle, como de la población campesina muestra su rechazo a estas supuestas renegociaciones iniciadas por la empresa GENISA promotora del mencionado proyecto con esta auto denominada dirigente Ercilia Mendoza con beneplácito cómplice del Gobierno Nacional (ver
noticia ”Ngäbes renegociarán proyecto Barro Blanco” por Flor Bocharel aparecido en La Prensa del dia miércoles 6 de julio de 2011).
El gobierno en mancuerna con el Congreso Kadriri por delegados, favorece los intereses de la empresa GENISA SA, desconocer la propiedad colectiva de las tierras, ríos y demás recursos del pueblo Ngäbe Bukle; a su vez, desesperadamente el gobierno renegocia el proyecto con un congreso títere organizado y financiado por el mismo estado, porque su dirigencia solo busca beneficios personales y familiares y particulares con grupos como CODICO SA, y la complicidad de los oportunistas: Candido Tugri, Guillermo Jiménez y Máximo Saldaña.
Hacemos un llamado a la comunidad internacional, al pueblo panameño, pueblo Ngäbe Bukle y campesino, a las organizaciones nacionales de pueblos indígenas, organizaciones sociales nacionales, para que expresen su solidaridad con el Movimiento M-10 del Tabasará, y participen en las diferentes acciones futuras en contra de este nefasto proyecto, que solo enriquecerán a unos cuentos empresarios en detrimento del pueblo Ngabe Bukle y campesino.
Dado en la comarca Ngäbe Bukle y campesino el día 13 de julio de 2011.

JOINT COMUNIQUE 5
The Movement 10 of April for the defense of the Tabasará River
Against the ill-disposed actions of the government and the company GENISA, whose only intention is to impose on the popular will of the Ngäbe Bukle people and peasants, the Barro Blanco Hydroelectric project in the Tabasará River, before the same, we want to reiterate our opposition before the face of the country.
That the National government, through Vice-minister of government and Justice Luis Ernesto Carles, mocked the good intentions of the Ngäbe Bukle people, entertained the indigenous leadership and applying the dirtiest Machiavellian strategies to delay the conflict, arose from the dialog table, breaking the agreements of conversations; in this way it obtains that the National Police invades violently the site of the project, so that the company GENISA initiates the construction of the Hydroelectric project, against the wishes of the true indigenous authorities of the Ngäbe Bukle people.
As they do not obtain any agreement with the legitimate leaders of the M-10 Movement, the government and GENISA company, maneuver after they break the dialog with the communities; renegotiates under the table with the pseudo leader of the Congress by delegates of the Kadriri Region , Ercilia Mendoza, the same that was imposed by the National Government with less than the ten percent of the vote of that electoral farce organized by the electoral tribunal in October of year 2010; these spurious elections ignore the authentic traditional leadership led by agronomist engineer Celio Guerra chosen by overwhelming majority that is characterized by his vehement opposition of such inconsult hydroelectric and mining projects to the detriment of the Ngäbe Bukle Region.
In this same sense the Ngäbe Bukle people, as the peasant population show its rejection to these supposed renegotiations initiated by the company GENISA promoter of the mentioned project with this self denominated leader Ercilia Mendoza with accomplice approval of the National Government (to see the news”Ngäbes will renegotiate project Barro Blanco” by Flor Bocharel appeared in La Prensa of the day Wednesday 6 of July of 2011).
The government in association with the Kadriri Congress by delegates, favors the interests of the company GENISA, to ignore the collective property of the land, rivers and other resources of the Ngäbe Bukle people; as well, as the government desperately renegotiates the project with a puppet congress organized and funded by the same state, because its leadership only looks for personal and familiar and particular benefits with groups like CODICO SA, and the complicity of the opportunists: Candido Tugri, Guillermo Jiménez and Máximo Saldaña.
We make a call to the international community, to the Panamanian people, the Ngäbe Bukle people and peasants, to the national organizations of indigenous peoples, national social organizations, so that they express its solidarity with the M-10 Movement of the Tabasará, and participate in the different future actions against this ominous project, that will only enrich a few entrepreneurs to the detriment of the Ngabe Bukle people and peasants.
