Dec 9. As CAFTA negotiators meet to secretly hammer out the final details, we spoke with Jolie Rickman of CISPES (Committee In Solidarity with the People of El Salvador).
Part 1.
Topics discussed:
* CISPES rooted in solidarity model
* Now working to defeat CAFTA
* Profit over people and how CAFTA is a continuation of the struggle against this, 100+ years after Haymarket
* NAFTA model in Mexico [CAFTA is largely expected to be by and large a duplicate of NAFTA extended down]
* Maquilodoras and the "City of the Future"
* Recent rushed history to move CAFTA along (developed under the radar, while eyes were on Iraq War Resolution)
* Bush Administration Letter of U.S. Priorities sent in confidence to Congress and it being the only text the public has seen (it was leaked)
