18 CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE SIGNED A FORMAL COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY ÑUÑOINA

mid-2007 RED BY CITIZEN ÑUÑOA began his signature campaign to gather 10% of the electoral roll of the municipality to call for a plebiscite community from citizens, as the only possible to stop the destruction of the neighborhoods of Providencia , after the imposition Mayor Pedro Sabat urban policies that only benefit the property market.
Despite strong opposition demands that the citizenship law to submit to popular verdict such important matters such as quality of life or the kind of neighborhoods they want to live, has been collected so far, more than 8 000 ñuñoinos notarized signatures on the registers of the commune election, the 12 000 needed to force the mayor to call a plebiscite community. However, the law does not allow its conclusion in the same year that makes a popular choice.
Given the current scenario of the commune election, and on the understanding that those who apply for municipal elected positions, must provide guarantees of a real commitment to their constituents on the main local issues in the commune, the Citizen Network for ÑUÑOA decided to call, candidates for mayor and council members, regardless of political stripe, to speak out clearly address the social disruption and urban Ñuñoa, produced by the aggressive onslaught of the real estate sector in the districts of the municipality, led by the mayor Sabat.
To do so, was distributed to the various candidates to the municipality of Providencia, a letter requesting a sign on a within a week, a solemn commitment to the community ñuñoina for the first task to be elected convene a community referendum, under the powers granted by law to mayors or two thirds of the members of City Council, and on the same terms as 8 000 ñuñoinos ratify his signature notarized.
The result showed clearly who are about to open real channels of citizen participation in the future management of local government and those sectors which are still reluctant to incorporate these necessary democratic practices in the way of governing a municipality, such as the current mayor Sabat , now wants to be reelected with his councilors Claudia Vera, Andrés Monckeberg Zarhi and Gerardo, who have wholeheartedly supported his management questioned building industry.
Other candidates of the Alliance for Chile, just not answered the call, and none of the candidates of the Independent Regional Party, PRI.
not get a response from a candidate for re-election and now the Christian Democratic Councilman Jaime Castillo, who has been a staunch ally of the Sabbath to defend the interest of the real estate industry.
This opens a promising way for the thousands of ñuñoinos that our freedoms have been eroded off the mayor's authoritarian management Sabat, who has won the mayor's chair at the expense of populism and misuse of public resources of the commune, as is now known publicly.

The Citizens Network for Nuno calls the candidates in the municipal contest Ñuñoa to call a plebiscite to decide on communal

PUBLIC STATEMENT

October 2008

The Citizens Network for Nuno has been a pioneer in Nunoa erect a mobilization in defense of their quality of life compared to the destruction of its traditional urban context, after the imposition of municipal permissive urban policies, which have left solely to real estate speculation the fate of the territory and population of the commune.
This phenomenon of commercialization of urban development is not unique to the commune of Providencia, but it is a direct expression of the strong implementation of the neoliberal market in the country, implemented since the military government and in full force today after almost 20 years of democracy.
Ñuñoa Unfortunately for this but destructor has beaten stronger than other districts of Santiago, as the underlying commercial process a predesigned plan by incumbent Mayor Pedro Sabat, when Pinochet was appointed commander of the borough, between 1987 and 89.
There, from his position as mayor, Sabat Regulator implemented a new Community Plan to allocate more than 60% of the territory of the commune property investment, once the Chilean economic conditions so permit.
In this way, are established between the appointed mayor, real estate and political sectors linked to the dictatorship, strong ties that later would support the return of Sabat and his circle of power in the commune, this time by way of elections for 3 successive terms.
The mayor's efforts Saba have been marked by a stamp personalistic, authoritarian and strong welfarism to the poorest sectors of the population of Providencia, to ensure their reelection, using municipal coffers for personal campaigning. Issues still coming to light, and now are under investigation for criminal justice.
During the 10 years that followed, between 1996 and 2006, Sabat further liberalized urban planning instruments of the commune. In 2002, declares to 3 low-income neighborhoods as traditional Urban Renewal Areas (ZRU), to deliver the housing market. In 2004, it approved the Section Irarrázaval, allowing the building no limit on a stretch of 6 km, which crosses the district from east to west, with a width of 4 blocks.
While previous years saw the dawn of some buildings in the commune, from the year 2005 that ñuñoinos note with horror as entire neighborhoods were beginning to fall for the construction of tall apartment towers.
Despite the disproportionate balance of power with the economic interests which it is based upon real estate speculation, some residents of the community decided to form a citizen group, transverse and independent of any political party, in defense of our living, to try curb what we call "the Ñuñoa urban slaughter. "
The struggle of the Red Ciudadana by Nuno marked a before and after in what has been the awakening city mayor against the authoritarianism of Sabat, who has made use and abuse of power conferred on him by, to devastate their craving urban and social heritage of the commune, without any planning for it that may govern the population explosion following the violent eruption of more than 400 apartment towers and its disastrous impact on road networks, health, services, equipment and local public spaces.
Thus, since early 2006, the Network has produced within the community ñuñoina, a rising awareness about the defense of their quality of life, which is expressed through massive street protests and citizen assemblies, against the mayor factual policies.
To counter the overwhelming public discontent and serious decline in public image, Sabat is forced to propose at the end of 2006, an amendment to the Communal Regulating Plan (PRC), which on its face "would slow the destruction of neighborhoods traditional and population of the commune. "
However, it was difficult to discover that behind the supposed good intentions of the mayor, was covered up a new trick for ñuñoinos, because the proposal only sought to add new sectors to real estate speculation at the edges of the commune, then ended up decimating the built heritage of the central districts.
625 letters were signed by more than 2,600 residents with comments on the proposal of the PRC, formally admitted to the City Council. Never in the history of the commune had been such citizen participation in local urban planning.
But this was not enough, only 10 of these comments were partially discussed within the Council. The rest were rejected outright by the city mayor's advice. However, most City Council also decided to take action the approval process of the PRC, despite the flagrant transgressions of the few civil rights of ñuñoinos entered in the existing legislation.
Given this bleak picture and the only possible way to stop the final destruction of urban and social community, the Citizen Network Ñuñoa resolved by taking the complex road to convene a community from the citizenship referendum in July 2007, necessitating an amendment to the PRC throughout the territory of the commune to a maximum height of 4 stories, so get in fact, a freeze on future building permits as discussed in a participatory and democratic, a new PRC for Ñuñoa.
Chilean legislation is wretched on the prerogatives citizen participation, even in matters which concern them so directly, such as the type of district, borough or city in which you want to live, opposing all kinds of difficulties that citizenship in a binding ruling.
Thus, the law requires municipal plebiscites to summon citizens to get 10% of communal voter signatures notarized, which in the case of Ñuñoa corresponds to 12,000. Process that must be borne exclusively by its organizers, not be any financial support from the State.
After a simple calculation in the case of Providencia, this has a net cost of more than 6 million dollars only in notary fees, ($ 500 X 12,000 signatures), without estimating the costs in broadcasting, advertising and volunteers available at street stalls for 5 months at least.
But despite all these difficulties, the Citizens Network for Nuno manages to get 8 000 signatures within 4 months after a huge effort every day, indicating the great capacity of ñuñoinos a takeover and part of the historical processes and their social commune.
The conviction with which the Red took the challenge, ñuñoina unveiled to the community, the certainty that it is possible to curb abusive and undemocratic system, it is precisely that absolute power is disrupted when subjected to the popular verdict. Therefore, we are certain to be the vast majority of those ñuñoinos in favor of putting a stop to the slaughter definitive urban community through a community referendum.
Ñuñoa is undeniable that today is not the same 4 years ago. The ñuñoinas ñuñoinos and we have grown and recovered in large part, our collective dignity.
Therefore, in this new social context of the commune, where the Red Ciudadana by Nuno has had a significant role, the film today a special stage for those policy areas that put spare electoral expectations in the current race municipal, for the next term of local government Ñuñoa.
ñuñoinos Because this time we are alert and informed about our rights as citizens and not willing to give our confidence to candidates who do not take real and consequential commitments to the problems that plague us, such as the urban destruction of our neighborhoods, deteriorating quality of life and lack of local participation in decision-making in the district.
Therefore, we also trust that in the coming municipal elections, the broadest sectors of the community ñuñoína, will use their democratic powers to punish him with their vote and those who have squandered so brutally fiscal heritage, urban and social community, from their positions edilicios.
The traumatic experience in Providencia, after the actual taking of our neighborhoods, we have been taught to be strong and clear. why we want to be represented at the head of local government for those who bring truth to the core of their management and broadly participatory democratic politics, founded on a close representation of citizenship , towards building a common project , for and with residents of Providencia.
That is why we call on all candidates for mayor and a councilman, to take a deep commitment to the broadest and transversal sectors of residents of Providencia, which call for halting as the irrational and irresponsible destruction of their neighborhoods.
postponement will not allow more debt with the vast majority of the inhabitants of Providencia, who we enjoyed until very recently, the cultural and social legacy that we leave the previous generations, when designing a sustainable community and human scale.
Whereas, the Citizens Network for Nuno, on behalf of more than 8,000 ñuñoínos who have signed before a notary to convene a community referendum to stop the slaughter urban Ñuñoa, calls the current municipal candidates in the race to engage formally with ñuñoinos, so that as the first task after taking office by popular vote, to convene a community referendum, in the terms as has been legitimized by the vast majority of ñuñoinos, under the powers granted by law the mayors or two thirds of the members of the Municipal Council.
For our part, we undertake to publicly disseminate this commitment to the community ñuñoina, candidates for local government Ñuñoa during the election campaign.
