PRESS CONFERENCE ON LANDGRABBING IN PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA

The Permanent Forum for Life Dignity / Food Sovereignty Group, and the Grupo de Reflexión Rural (www.grr.org.ar), along with unions, student and teachers associations and many social organizations and political forces, convoke national and international journalists, social organizations, friends, colleagues and the general public to a Press Conference to be held on Friday June 10th, at 10:00 am at the Microcinema of the Atlantic Regional University Center of the National University of the Comahue Region of Patagonia, located in Ayacucho and Monsignor Esandi Boulevard, Viedma, Rio Negro Province, Argentina.

We want to expose and make known the actions we carry out against the traitorous agreement signed by the Governor of the Province of Rio Negro, Miguel Angel Saiz with the Chinese Heilongjiang Beidahuang  State Farms and Business Trade Group CO., LTD . According to published information, this “agreement” threatens to hand over 320.000 hectares of arable land of Patagonia to this corporation for indiscriminate exploitation, including public infrastructure, irrigation systems, huge direct and indirect subsidies and fiscal favors, violating our National Food Sovereignty with multiple social, environmental, economic and cultural consequences.
