forum organized by Hands & Brains , Agents of Change and FES Panama.
forums
ideological series has been developed as a space for open dialogue between social sectors, both those who are called the left and those who do not, without expecting from this unit is achieved much less uniformity, nor the intention to extend the discussion about who is or is not left in the view of each, which surely has its importance but plenty of space for its continuation, in other words, the ideological forum allows the exchange of ideas, but hopefully without fanaticism uncompromising, honest and responsible manner on specific topics that reflect our world views, but not limited to our identity in the strict sense.

exchange between exhibitors and participants at the First Forum on Youth and ideological Left in Panama, held on April 22, 2010, on issues that mainly young people considered necessary priority on the agendas of their organizations, are defined one of them today's forum topic: Ecology and Politics in Panama.
of today know the ecological imbalance that is the only planet available to our existence, the growing role in public space and political struggles of indigenous, peasant and citizens in general, different views have emerged about the environmental issue and the fundamental role that the use of the misnomer of natural resources in a given economic formation and thus the possibilities continuation of the dominant economic model, locally and globally, or the transformation of social structure, the economical, political and ideological, to another world possible, necessary and urgent. But beware, another world, that is another way to understand and act, not only other characters taking advantage of a speech.
However, there is still little development of the environmental issue on the political agenda and a very poor environmental management of governments, aided by a weak and weakened institutions operating rules with gaps and ambiguities (eg social interest wildcard) to facilitate executions and interpretations about power and far from a comprehensive and effective rule of law. This is reinforced by regulations that criminalize protest, destroy social organizations and cover the existing legal impunity in fact, designed specifically to attack resistance.
There is also the discourse of rejection of political practice by some sectors linked to the issue ecological, ignoring for various reasons the strategic role of the decision areas in this struggle, and intention to decouple environmental problem on the space of politics, not treat it as a problem of power relations with rulers and ruled, winners and losers, or the discourse of reform (or greening) to make it sustainable capitalism, ignoring the physical limits of the planet and essentially contradictory and unsustainable economic system in which some still believe, supported by all modern Western myth of progress, development and growth.
This forum can not develop abstracted from social reality, at the same While conflicts in the workplace and gain strength as ecological axes of articulation of social contradictions and its definition in the future, we have seen and therefore denounce the government's attitude politically motivated persecution against human rights activists, environmentalists and media as well as the effects on freedom, honor and integrity of public officials and activists, community, environmental, indigenous and peasants throughout the country, among others and as an example: the arrest for verification Olmedo Carrasquilla, the hardly accidental attacks on the property of Claudia Figueroa, unlawful and arbitrary deprivation Freedom of Carlos Nunez and poorly justified harassment Paco Gómez Nadal.
We are entering a critical period, as described in the first forum as an arena of open hostility to ideological diversity, a transition from formal democracy to totalitarianism, experienced by other colleagues in our America and the world . In this scenario, necessarily have to modify our relationship, specifically the intensity level at the rally but not the very existence of our legitimate contradictions, which are built on memory and the hope that motivates our actions toward the goal of achieving in the future something better than what we have always had, not to stay in the comfort of the half-way which was already given, even led, democratic backsliding.
Each generation is responsible for what he does and not what they did the previous ones responsible should also be recognized while keeping future generations, to avoid losing the others before we even left the cost of losing life, nor because of ignorance or convenience repeat the errors of the past. The memory loss is the loss of identity and the ability to be consistent in our lives, but at this moment the situation, almost an imperative for survival puts us against the same current, But I'm sure we'll clearer and stronger of the situation.
