Quito, May 10, 2010
Dear friends
In Ecuador we are living in times of repression and anguish because of the government's decision to impose a water law that does not resolve the situation
hoarding and water privatization in the country.
In keeping with the national development plan, Bill manipulates the water to comply with the decision to impose
policy - the rejection by popular "large-scale mining by 20% of the country, an activity that warrants all the required water
. Likewise, the water will be used for a forest plan based on exotic species in a million hectares, and to expand the boundaries of agribusiness
including biofuels, which will be exacerbated not only levels but also grab the source contamination
water. It is also the fact that it promotes the construction of hydro power which will be delivered to the business
water control watersheds where these projects will be installed. Additionally, it seeks to control territorial
4 million tropical forest and 800 hectares of moorland-key ecosystems associated with the hydrological cycle through market-oriented programs
carbon and environmental services that are implemented under the Forest and Partner programs Partner Páramo,
But this is contradictory to assert that the bill respects the priority in water use required by the Constitution, when in fact
both human consumption and irrigation for food sovereignty and care ecological flow, will be subordinated
to the priorities of national development plan and the will of the president.
One of the most controversial issues is the establishment of the Water Authority. While the government's proposal is to have a single authority
respond to the decision of the president of the republic, and to include an intercultural and multinational board
only in an advisory capacity demand of the social movement in Ecuador is that it constitutes an authority water based on a multi-country
council decision-making, planning, punishment, ie the construction of public water policies are the
full exercise of the broad social participation.
As if this were not enough, the scheme is transferred to regional governments control and management of community water systems,
even though they had been built and maintained by communities, prior to charging fees for water
Against this legitimate process of social organization in defense of water, the government has responded with brutal repression and criminalization
selectively mobilized sector leaders on charges of terrorism, sabotage and revolt, as happened in previous governments
, overtly neo-liberal. We demand the withdrawal of juidiciales processes initiated against social leaders
as performances of such a government that claims to be an expression of democracy loses credibility and legitimacy.
is urgent to have your support through letters to President Rafael Correa require the cessation of violence and
effective guarantee that the critical aspects demanded by the indigenous and peasant organizations are incorporated in the law.

Lords of the National Assembly of Ecuador.
Present: Assemblymen
Gentlemen:
We address you to express our deep concern
by the conflict in Ecuador today,
caused by the desire to impose a Water Law
contrary to the Constitution of his country and his principles of Good Living,
Multinational State, Rights of Mother Earth and
Right to Water.
The world has witnessed efforts
indigenous peoples and their organizations to achieve their
proposals for an equitable management of water, source of life that can continue
monopolized in a few hands but be maintained in a multinational and
multicultural, through a Single Authority
involving all sectors of the population
and addressed to ensure food sovereignty.
However, the government of President Rafael Correa and the majority
National Assembly are determined to keep the water
few private hands. And the demands of indigenous organizations
are
responded with repression and criminalization, even accused of terrorism and sabotage
leader Carlos Pérez de Azuay, Cuenca.
front of the above, we urge you to listen to indigenous demands and incorporate
its proposals Water Act,
stop the repression, release detainees and cut
open trials against him. And above all to fulfill their
Constitution, building the Good Life and the State
Plurinational Rights respecting Mother Earth.
eyes of the world are in Ecuador,
lords of the National Assembly of Ecuador. Do you have in your hands
a historic responsibility
take a real change or continue to maintain a
extractive model designed to build individual and not the welfare of all Ecuadorians
and Ecuador.
Sincerely, Alfonso Anaya
