Pinochet’s ouster demanded

isit the
~USsh

For all your travel needs,

80s — and last month a national demon-
stration by the National Workers Com-
mand defied government attempts to
destroy the call for Pinochet’s ouster.

That the anti-Pinochet effort has grown
qualitatively as well as quantitatively can be
seen by two recent events: the formation last
April of the Civil Assembly which, with the
support of even right-wing opposition pat-
ties, represents virtually the entire country;
and the support given the work stoppage by
the Confederation of Truck Owners.

The confederation had staged several
work stoppages during the final days of the
Allende government, helping, with CIA aid,
to create the conditions of “instability that
Pinochet used as an excuse to overthrow the

Popular Unity government in September,

1973.

In recent months a combination of low
hauling rates, high taxes and high fuel
prices — levied while Pinochet has handed
a $4billion bailout to Chile’s largest
businesses — has wreaked hardship on the
largely middle-class truckers confederation.

Vancouver’s Chilean and Chilean sup-
port communities — which have held
numerous demonstrations outside the con-
sulate marking similar activities in Chile —
demonstrated for one hour outside the
consulate before joining Christians protest-
ing the recent $100-million U.S. contra aid
package.

Members of the Christian Task Force on
Central America paraded briefly through
Vancouver before arriving at the U.S. con-
sulate on West Georgia Street, bearing a
symbolic coffin representing the hundreds
of Nicaraguans killed by the activities of the
USS. backed “‘contras.”

Mimicking similar demonstrations in
Nicaragua, the protesters took turns read-
ing out the names of Nicaraguans who have
died in contra raids, while the rest of the
crowd changed “presente.”

Demonstration spokesman Barry Mor-
ris, a minister with the First United Church
in Vancouver, said the group has held
monthly vigils outside the consulate for the
past 13 months. Only once has the group
been able to meet with the U.S. consul-

general, he said.
