This
morning one hundred activists of the Association Ya Basta Italy
entered in a illegal
field of genetically modified maize in Vivaro (Pordenone
province, northeastern Italy). The action started at noon. Activists destroyed two meters tall plants.
Back in April,
the farmers and activists of Ya Basta Italy
denounced the illegal planting of
maize in Vivaro.
The field was placed under seizure, but the ruling still is
taking too long for political debates within the government. From below, then
came the immediate response concerning the life and the defense of
biodiversity, which can not be cowardly dominated by capital and
speculation.
In the public statement of Ya Basta activists
declared themselves "indigenous communities" and join the fight for justice and
dignity for all communities found in Cochabamba during the People's
Assembly in April.
Also, defending the right and desire to leave the
hell of transgenic cultures which destroy the planet and poison the Mother Earth and
the waters.
The climate changes, the soil dries,
water is privatized: enough ... to Cancun!
