Colony Park


a brief reflection ...

An experience of social fascism is to be installed before the city of Buenos Aires

off the coast of the city of Buenos Aires, the Parana River Delta, where flowing waters of the old river from the heart of South America two years ago that a group of companies is betting an exclusive neighborhood with lots of land, starting with a value greater than a quarter million dollars. The same company states in its advertising: "Colony Park is the first development of permanent housing in a true island of Delta Argentino. A concept unique property in Argentina that offers desurbanizar your life in just 5 minutes. Our Master Plan seeks main goal of improving the quality of life of its inhabitants combining city life with the security and tranquility of a private island, so we offer 900 lots. (...) We will have a system where personal security provided by Prefecture interact and private agencies with high-tech equipment for the prevention and control. Being surrounded by rivers and canals more than 30 meters wide access will be controlled by the Coast Guard Argentina, all lots will have a telephone system whereby you can quickly contact the guard. "

ventures such as this, are presented as vectors of progress. However, in its genesis there is a plot that goes beyond the attempt at a social reconfiguration should timely alert to denounce and act accordingly. The Colony Park, first selected a strategic location it seeks to establish in the first Delta island closest to the city of Buenos Aires (in front of San Fernando), and another model was proposed cluster housing with all the comforts of urban services in more "advanced" and based on the protection against "other" dangerous. The marketing of the enterprise, less words more words, appeals to the imagination of the feudal castle with its moat to contain external threats and shows a world of happiness in touch with nature. What obscures this private initiative, is that their possible existence is assumed and even extreme violence on the other, legitimate inhabitants of the island which would viper Haroldo Conti-Eels and Paloma streams: Ceibal, Sausal, several fish, grasses, capybaras, otters, and of course, men and women of the island, families with their unique way of life and work. The humiliation of the wetland ecosystem and the rights of all living things, put in place common than natural uncivilized, takes the form of an exclusion indifferent (as if nothing and no one there) where there saying a word, eg the burning or destruction of farms with no previous contact. The Colony Park in failing to record even the "other" (island), ignore it as another (different) but with rights (the same), goes beyond the point, and is emerging in line with the features of an era looming ominously, what renowned thinkers Boaventura de Sousa Santos calls "corporate fascism": "The expansion of corporate fascism is thus a viable future. (...) If you allow the market logic spills out of the economy in all fields of social life and become the only criterion for social and political interactions, society will become unmanageable and ethically repugnant. (...) The lag in social relations, between inclusion and exclusion has deepened so much that it becomes more and more space, including living in the civilized areas, the excluded areas wild. They get up barriers between them (gated, gated communities). Due to their potentially unmanageable in the wilderness the democratic state has been democratically empowered to act in a fascist. "

What is alarming is that this situation could be characterized as anecdotal or ad hoc, social matrices reproduces colonial times (which is ignoring the rights of others) but in scenarios typical of modern nation-state. It therefore seems appropriate to use the concept of social fascism to mark the seriousness of this experience you want to take shape in the islands off Buenos Aires, and also operates in a town-like Tigre-clocking of other events with a similar background. Remember just a couple. Very similar to what happens to Colony Park (whose chairman is Adrian Gabriel Schwartz) on the islands, also occurs on the side of the continent in Punta Querandíes, where another elite gated (draft EIDICO, whose best-known director George O ' Reilly) has enclosed an indigenous territory, and seeks to explicitly take over the ancestral place. But we can also include daily episodes and imperceptible, but straight out of a futuristic nightmare novel, still day in the spring of 2010, and the coast of Rio Tigre Lujan plagued by celebrating young mate and guitar (and some beer too), while tying my boat to the municipal pier, witnessed the power of Buenos Aires police prefecture and by land and water moving in closed line clearing the parade of young people who astonished resigned to obey orders. Concerned about these various situations if they are seen together, especially in a context in which some sectors of society who have abandoned all pretense of generating massive consensus, seek to govern society prioritizes making the demand for control and security (on the life and work), and already depressed, unthinkingly internalized fear of all: a pandemic, the kids jets, to the gigs, to tornadoes, to share the light bulb, etc. The battle for a society where everyone has a place, which means access to rights and resources, the very way of life, is now at stake in defending the river eels, which carry on the family island, in the eyes, say silent, that from the opposite bank maintains justice and local political power.

SOCIETY > SIMPLY PUT a real estate IN CANAL POINT, TIGRE

A public space for
The disputed area is about the archaeological site of Punta Canal, where the company moved on Eidicor a historic site for native peoples. The Ombudsman requested reports from five municipalities, but none of them responded.


The opinion of the Ombudsman's Office limits the expansion of a real estate development in the area known as Punta Tigre Canal, which runs an archaeological site which is in danger of being destroyed. The Ombudsman gave a series of recommendations to the municipalities of Zárate, Campana, Escobar, Tigre and San Fernando, and the Provincial Directorate of Cultural Heritage in Buenos Aires. In the Paraná Delta area, the area covered from the district Zárate and San Fernando, "There are numerous accounts centennial bibliography of archaeological evidence," confirmed the Cultural Institute of Buenos Aires. Therefore, in the first opinion, issued in connection with the archaeological heritage of the area, "the agency urged the five boroughs to develop a map showing the location of archaeological and paleontological sites, and provides that enterprises are not allowed if they are not made adequate procedures to detect traces of these sites, among other things. None of the municipalities responded to requests for reports requested by the Ombudsman in the investigation phase, and so far received no response on the recommendations.
the Ombudsman's investigation began into allegations of invasion of land occupied by the Canal Point archaeological site in the town of Dique Luján tigrense. Canal Point, also known as Punta Querandí is a very large portion of land surrounded by gated Eidico company and located between the junction of Canal and Villanueva Garin Creek. In the midst of modern buildings and machines working in the development of these ventures, lie the remains of the archaeological site. Steps away from that place, on Brazil Street, the camp's neighbors and members of indigenous communities over six months of resistance, and thus managed to prevent the continuation of the work.
This claim "has taken a horrifying scale. Many thought he was going to deflate over time would not resist. But it remains firm and is fed continuously, "said Councilman Tigre Luis Cancel, who works with neighbors on the claim. As
details the report of the Ombudsman, Tigre's neighbors expressed "concern at the loss arquerológicos site following the construction of numerous gated communities." Furthermore, "say the environmental and social impact," particularly "include" the development of thousands of acres of wetlands, '"and reported that residents adjacent to the gated road have communication problems and that in" many cases are flooded their homes. " Among other things, questioned that "such developments have been built on land that was tax." These complaints
join requests for reports to the National Institute of Anthropology and Latin American Thought (unenforceable) and the Instituto Cultural de Buenos Aires for information on the existence of deposits in the Paraná Delta area. "We think that this issue was beyond the geographical scope of Tigre and therefore we extended the investigation to the area from San Fernando Zárate. We did well to make this forecast because after the Cultural Institute we confirmed the existence of literature centennial throughout the area and therefore the recommendations are addressed to the five boroughs, "said Garcia.
Also, on June 17 last were drawn requests for reports to the mayors of the five municipalities, which have not yet responded. The Ombudsman issued its recommendations to the communities: "To map the locations of sites, archaeological and paleontological and archaeological objects, not allowing enterprises where no exploration has taken place, as indicated by the 25743 Act - designed to detect any archaeological remains or paleontological, and in cases of enterprises already approved that have not benefited from the previous survey, the owners agree to carry out the same. " It also asked the municipalities to report the list of environmental impact assessments for anyone interested can access the information, and to implement the use of hearing public.
to the Provincial Directorate of Cultural Heritage Aires asked to provide a reliable way to existing archaeological records municipalities in the province. The Directorate has undertaken to do so.
These measures tend Defender not only create a channel of communication between institutions, but also with the community, and thus improve control and monitoring in each particular case. In addition, this position of Ombudsman was established as a new tool for the neighbors: "These findings are said by an agency of the constitution and their strength. This is to give citizens tools so they can defend their rights, "Garcia said.
Now the question that is posed by the overlooked, and from this ombudsman, is whether municipalities will commit to these recommendations.
Moreover, in the coming days the Office will issue a new resolution. This time the report will focus on social and environmental impact of real estate developments in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Parana River Delta.

Rollover Non-qualified Annuity To Ira

Colony Park is "the first development of permanent housing in a real island Argentine Delta." Such is the seductive argument that is presented on the Internet a real estate megaemprendimeinto offers its customers "desurbanizar" their lives in an exclusive island of San Isidro. But all is not idyllic natural paradise privatized, since, according to a criminal complaint with the construction of Colony Park "would be altering the use of the river and the ecological functions of the Parana River delta ecosystem," causing "damage Havoc "the entire ecosystem and the islanders.
The island where the company began to build, without the necessary environmental impact study, is bounded by the Logan River and Canal Link and covers about 300 hectares compared to the Municipality of San Isidro, "only 1000 meters traditional neighborhoods, and thus water, Avenida del Libertador ", as the company advertises Colony Park SA.
According to the prosecutor's request Molina, since he began work, two dredging machines excavated the river bed for 24 hours a day and this material was used to raise the terrain of the island from 80 centimeters to more naturally have 4 m, so we can build roads and ponds inside. These changes have altered the ecosystem of the area, which lies in a valley draining of wetlands, the site of reserve and water purification and works as a buffer against flooding.
The criminal complaint resulted in judicial intervention was filed in June 2008 by lawyer Enrique Ferreccio, representing several families in the area and went to the Federal Court No. 1 of San Isidro, by Sandra Arroyo Salgado. They claim that the changes in the environment that generated this cause mega-enterprises (and already caused) an irreparable impact on the ecosystem of the delta and considered "Incompatible with the concept of sustainable development."
addition to the immediate environmental damage generated by the dredging of the river, close to streams and the fact of destroying the vegetation, a number of problems that arise when you finish building the three stages of the project (about 980 lots).
According to the complaint, urbanization is expected to live about 4800 people, which exceeds the total number of people currently living on the islands in the delta, home to 4000 people in a territory of 20 000 hectares. To this are added the 1000 vehicles that circulate between the island and the mainland through a ferry. Ferreccio
the report warns "the disproportion in population density between Colony Park and the sector islands, with the aggravating circumstance in the real estate venture will carry automotive people, unlike the Islanders," and explains that "the introduction of vehicles in a small area, population density saturated, the generation of liquid effluents and solid waste, generates a functional change to the low delta, disrupting their environmental functions. "
The damage is not only environmental. For two years, when he began the weeding and the raising of the island, also started a chase to the locals, reeds and fishermen residents over 20 years, whose shacks were removed from places ranging from streams Pacú and Anguilla.
"began in August 2008," recalled one island and told: "I had gone fishing and when I returned to the ranch, I found that there was nothing, the company had thrown everything he had begun to dismantle and make the banks." Another said: "Colony Park Creek Eel completely destroyed and left without work to all who lived on the island."
to the environmental effects are added the social and cultural impact it has on the immediate local population, who saw the way life and homes destroyed by bulldozers and chainsaws. To survive, about 18 islanders were grouped in the Cooperative Hope Island (see separate article), which allowed them to continue with the harvesting of reeds and made products: curtains, bread baskets, baskets. Were more than two years that made clearings Colony Park SA, moved land, eviction people, dredged rivers and streams without, since then, a minimum environmental impact study. <

fish kills

Why fish die?


The summer of 2009 was a period the rise of the rivers Paraná, Uruguay and other rivers of the Plata Basin. The winds blew east and southeast more often by the current of the child, and made to intensify the rains and tides, which fueled the rise of the rivers in the area. With the growing
multiplied aquatic environments, the fish had access to new resources, pollution was liquefied so slightly between water and the fish are bred in large numbers, and for years did not happen.
Mojarras, catfish, pacucitos, gold, surubíes, chafalotes ... there were so many fish that it looked like we were swimming through the eyes. Winter came, the waters receded and another Once the fish were actors, but in this case as an endless silent funeral march.
What happened? The Municipality of Tigre took up the matter and issued a statement which disclosed a portion of the truth. Death was adjudged to cold and some mushrooms. But on the other, the awkward truth, he said nothing. Real is that much of that population multiplied during the growing fish suffered the consequences of cold and became more vulnerable. The cold took its victims, but the cold does not kill alone. At low water the fish are concentrated, but also focused two new sources of pollution: pesticides used in monocultures of soybean, pine and eucalyptus in areas surrounding the basin-wide costs Yque grew out of control. And pulling the open-pit mining exploit the hills where the rivers north of our country.

Meanwhile here in the big city of Buenos Aires, other damage to the environment make progress begins to show its limits. Go back ten years.

Chronicle of a Death Foretold

In 2000 there were also aware of the child, also up the rivers and there were many fish. But it was also some things that, ten years later, explained that the rivers Delta no longer the same.
In that year, a company hired by the state in a bid millionaire, Covimet wound up in the Reconquista River Basin, where 12,000 factories dumping their waste in the north and west of Buenos Aires. The aim was to "clean up the watershed." They advertised their posters. Newspapers said so. Sanitation consisted
piped streams, rivers correct, and cut the trees from the banks and cement to make the water run faster. It was said that this would solve the problem of pollution in the watershed. But cleaning the rivers that drain is not to make faster. Clean rivers is left to contaminate. So the pollution continued and we got used to it.
As a final point of the work, here in the Tigre, changed the Reconquista its natural outlet, making it drain upstream of Luján, the national track rowing, also called relief channel. " To prevent flooding in the basin widened its mouth. Since then, after each storm that washes the river, or when the wind blows south, industrial pollution and sewage from the west and north of Buenos Aires across the River Luján and into the Delta by the Carapachay, the Angostura, follows Standby, Sarmiento, the Abra Vieja. What how we see the brown water rivers turn gray? How many times saw the fish come alive with the growing Rio Tigre and get killed with the downpipe?

Tigre, a privileged place

Also in 2000, investors discovered that the coastal wetlands of the Luján River, considered useless marshes were an ideal place to do business. Were bought cheap and sold were filled by a lot of money. Businesses grow fast and in just ten years gated multiplied and what was the floodplain of the River Luján is a huge city now private.
Coastal wetlands, like islands, are cushioning the flooding and pollution recycling, cleaning the water. After each increasingly seen as the clear shallow water and filtered from the islands. More pollution, less nature to clean it. The combination is explosive and shows the limits of nature to take his case, when the cold pressed.

And how to walk on the islands?

The Delta is included in this model of progress based on quick business. In the advancing front, behind the reeds, dredgers are working day and night, muddying streams, open channels, filling islands to establish the first urban settlement on the islands: Colony Park. Wetlands destroyed again, again gaining ground pollution, silence again
