Exhiben ‘Al Sur de la Frontera’ en la Universidad Nacional (Nota de Prensa)

Exhiben ‘Al Sur de la Frontera’ en la Universidad Nacional

Malasios conmemoran victoria popular del 13 de abril de 2002

Kuala Lumpur, 14 de abril de 2011.- Con un cine foro sobre el documental ‘Al Sur de la Frontera’, la Embajada de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela en Malasia, el Grupo de Solidaridad con Venezuela y el Instituto de Estudios Occidentales de la Universidad Nacional Malasia celebraron el noveno aniversario de la revuelta popular que regresó al poder al Presidente Hugo Chávez tras el breve pero sangriento golpe de estado de abril de 2002.

El campus de la Universidad Nacional Malasia (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) sirvió de marco para el encuentro que contó con la presencia de los embajadores de Cuba, Ecuador y Argentina, representantes de las embajadas de Brasil, Chile, México y Uruguay, así como decenas de estudiantes de pre y posgrado, investigadores y académicos de distintas casas de estudio, y el público general que asistió con el interés de conocer sobre la otra Latinoamérica que no muestran las grandes cadenas mediáticas.

La discusión se centró en el papel que han jugado los medios de comunicación social, llamados por los presentes como “máquinas de guerra”, en la defensa de los intereses del imperio y de las grandes corporaciones, y en la lucha desigual pero aguerrida de los pueblos. “En septiembre de 1973 lograron derrocar a Allende, pero en abril de 2002 fracasaron cuando trataron de tumbar al presidente Chávez, cuyo poder fuera restituido por el mismo pueblo”, destacó el académico y activista social Chandra Muzaffar, presidente del Grupo de Solidaridad con Venezuela y quien actuó de moderador del cine foro.

Los mecanismos para la integración, específicamente el ALBA y la UNASUR fueron abordados como ejemplos a seguir en Asia y Medio Oriente en la lucha contra las políticas neoliberales e intervencionistas que se tratan de imponer a los pueblos del sur.

Por su parte, Manuel Guzmán, embajador de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela en Malasia, resaltó el compromiso con la inclusión social y con la integración de la región por parte de los líderes latinoamericanos que han mostrado con su testimonio en el film de Oliver Stone la otra cara de la moneda. Recalcó así mismo que los grandes protagonistas de los cambios “al sur de la frontera”, son los pueblos que ya no se dejan manipular tan fácilmente por los grandes medios de comunicación controlados por los enemigos de ese cambio que vive América Latina. Pueblos que no sólo han decidido elegir a líderes con real compromiso con los eternos excluidos, sino que han sabido tomar las calles para hacer respetar esa decisión.

La intervención militar en Libia, Irak y Afganistán; los continuos ataques contra el pueblo palestino; la injusta liberación del terrorista Posada Carriles; la amenaza de las bases militares estadounidenses en Colombia; el largo historial de invasiones a las naciones del sur, fueron otros aspectos que se discutieron durante este encuentro que marcó el inicio de la Sexta Semana de Venezuela en Malasia.

El ciclo de foros continuará el jueves 21 de abril con otro cine foro que se organizará en el Instituto de Estudios Diplomáticos de Malasia; mientras que el jueves 28 de abril se celebrará un almuerzo de trabajo y conferencia organizada en conjunto con el Portal de Cooperacion Sur Sur del Ministerio de Comunicación y Cultura de Malasia sobre “Economía Internacional: los retos y éxitos del Sur” que será dictada por Alfredo Toro Hardy, Embajador de Venezuela en Singapur, quien viajará a Kuala Lumpur para hacer una presentación a funcionarios gubernamentales, diplomáticos, académicos, periodistas y público en general.
