ARGENTINA - FESTIVAL AGAINST INTOLERANCE - MMM

More than 6,000 at Rosario MMM Festival against Intolerance.
The Festival was organized by the Argentinean Harm Reduction
Association ARDA in the framework of its National
Depenalization Campaign of Possession of Drugs for Personal
Use. 11 groups played music in a big concert from 3 P.M to
midnight, representatives of ARDA as well as the National
Deputy Eduardo Garcia -author of the Project of Law for
Depenalization presented on last november- and a
representative of the network of drug users RADDUD spoke at
the event. A booth of ARDA disseminated the "Marihuana Harm
Reduction Handbook", other information materials and
condoms. The slogans of the Campaign were around the
Municipal Theatre Humberto de Nito at Urquiza Park: "Just
say No to the War against Drug users", "Cure, not war", "In
Argentina the drug law is more harmful than the drugs".

This has been the only manifestation this year that the
mayor of Buenos Aires city forbade the Buenos Aires
Festival.

"AGAINST THE INTOLERANCIA". One maratón of local and
national groups in the Municipal Amphitheatre

About 4 thousand young people participated in a festival
that supports the derogation of the law that penalizes the
personal use

"Endurance the legalization". Photo: Juan Jose Garcia

Around 4 thousand young people they participated yesterday
in a maratónica day of rock in the Amphitheatre Humberto de
Nito, under slogans "Against the intolerancia" and "Cures,
not war", in direct reference to the proposal on the
legalization of the drug possession for personal use and the
investigation on the marijuana in the scientific scope for
therapeutic use. The festival started to 15,30 and the night
extended until entrance, with the participation of but a
dozen of local and national bands. In addition, Eduardo
counted on the presence of the national deputy Diaz, who
promotes the modification of the effective law on the
narcotic possession, "that has made a damage greater than
the same drug in the scope of the social thing", according
to expressed the legislator. On the other hand, the
Association of Reduction of Damages of Argentina (ARDA) gave
to the assistants a manual on the effects, contraindications
and precautions that must take those that consumes marijuana
and also made a gratuitous distribution of prophylactics.

With the popular green symbol of the plant of cannabis in
the scene, multiplied in thousands of flags, rowers, pins
and until in corporal tattoos, a multitude - composed in its
majority by twentyish it danced to the rate of reggae and
the rock & roll, from the beginning of afternoon of sun
until the cold night fell on the Urquiza park. In spite of
the superiority of the symbol of the marijuana, the effluvia
of the porros were less evident that the boxes of tetrabriks
of wine and that the ingestions of beers. But also there
were some who only were punished with powerful ones you kill
with churros, but of that they are not smoked.

"I come because I like music, not even I smoke tobacco",
said young carefree one, that admitted that it does not like
"drugged people" although it limited that "each one is owner
to do what wants while not joda to the others". "Endurance
the legalization", shouted a boy who took a stamp of Bob
Marley in his rower, the icon of rastafaris jamaiquinos
which they sang loas mystical "to the smoke that cheers".
The festive and calm climate lowered by an overwhelmed
amphitheatre and won the environs of the park.

The deputy Diaz, a Cordovan of 49 years and who has been
occupying a bank in the national Congress for two years by
the socialism, very satisfied with the call, emphasized that
its proposal is not based on being in favor of the drug
consumption, but in the statistics on which it has caused a
legislation "it lasts" that it has been prevailing for 14
years in Argentina.

"About 323 thousand young people who did not commit any
crime were stopped and process in these years. The 95
percent of them never had entered a police station and a 50
percent who worked, lost their positions ", emphasized and I
add ': "the law is punishing the victims of the business of
the drug".

Like proposal, it maintained that "the way is to take ahead
an active policy to discourage the consumption but of a
different form and in addition, to respect the
noninterference of the State in the private acts".

The project of modification of the law is in parliamentary
state and the legislator of the socialist party confio ': "I
have the hope of which in June it is discussed in
commission". In spite of its optimism, it recognized that
"it is not a easy subject, because today the drug also
comprises of the delinquency, just like the alcohol. A very
important pending debate for the society exists, since
esteem that are three million consumers in the country ",
was indicated.

On the other hand, Silvia Inchaurraga, director of the
Training center Advanced in Drogadependencia and Sida,
explained that the initiative is framed in a campaign at
international level that includes/understands to 400 cities
of 44 countries, that although are focused to the marijuana
and the investigation of its therapeutic uses aims at the
legalization of all drugs. "It is necessary to install the
debate also within the framework of the health system to
resist from the State the damages of the consumption",
considered Inchaurraga.

The plantita, "leit motiv" that sells

The recital counted on the presence of bands like the Hands
of Fillipi, Karamelo Santo and the premises Rosary Smowing,
Divinos and Abrepuertas, among others, although the most
hoped they were the Vandals. In this frame they did not lack
the article salesmen that take like leit motiv famous yuyo
green, that with a fine stem unfolds hojitas with hand saw
edges, and whose figure was printed in rowers, table cloths,
articles as toallones or carpets of bath and until in the
form of the slippers. "Mirá, a diver marijuana user", said a
surprised young person that it approached one of the
positions. But at the same time it watched towards the
flanks like persecuted. It faces parked a moving body of the
police. It lowered the Vista with certain pudor and soon
express in the multitude was lost.

La Capital article of May 9, 2004. Link is for original
Spanish version.
http://www.lacapital.com.ar/2004/05/09/ciudad/noticia_98530.shtml

A ten of rock bands marched past by the scene of the Urquiza
park

A full amphitheatre by the legalization of the marijuana
consumption

Rosario was added to the Festival against the Intolerancia


[Photo caption] The public, in his great young majority, used the excuse music to raise his reclamation.

"Cures, not war". The slogan settled yesterday until
entrance the night in the Amphitheatre Humberto de Nito,
where hundreds of young people were added to the Festival
against the Intolerancia. The event is simultaneously
carried out in 348 cities of 48 countries with the slogan to
legalize the possession of marijuana for the personal
consumption, to stop the arrests by the consumption of the
cannabis and to defend the scientific research of its
therapeutic uses. The rosarino act was the unique one that
was celebrated in the country after the past 2 of May the
one of Federal Capital was suspended and reunited to a ten
of rock bands that pronounced against the "persecution" the
drug users.

The accomplishment of the festival changed the appearance
that habitually offers the Urquiza park late of Saturday
with sun. Entered the 15, groups of pibes with rowers of
Attack 77, Network Hot Chili Peppers and other bands of
rock, rastas, rare aritos and hairdos they approached the
amphitheatre to participate in the act organized by the
Association of Reduction of Damages of Argentina (It burns).

This is the third time that in Rosario is made the Festival
against the Intolerancia, that in the world is celebrated
from 1998 all the first weeks of May. In their local
version, by the scene of the amphitheatre the bands Nitro
220, Smowing Rosary, the Vandals, Scraps, Abrepuertas and
the ones in charge to close the event marched past among
others: Karamelo Santo and the Hands of Filippi.

The election of the place - the Amphitheatre Humberto de
Nito- was not accidental. "What we want is to contribute to
the debate on the drug policy, for that reason we looked for
a recreational space and a concurred day and schedule",
explained the president of Burns, Silvia Inchaurraga. And
music was an excuse.

Juan Pablo (22) arrived there until happening afternoon,
being with friends and to say "well hard" that "we lived in
a society mask". So that '? "Because one represses to those
who consume drugs and he admires himself to those who sell
them because they are rich and famous".


More effective, right and human The entrance to the festival
was flanked by stand of Burns where the petitionary one
could be signed to support the project of law for the
legalization of the possession for personal consumption
presented/displayed by the national deputy Eduardo Garci'a.
"By more effective, righter and more human drug a policy",
it at heart said a great hung black poster of stand.

"We considered that the official policy on the subject has
been a failure - also explained Inchaurraga -, since in all
this time it has not only increased the consumption, but its
problems associate: the death by overdose, the social
exclusion and AIDS ".

A single data serves to illustrate this position and it
already became a battle pony of those who fights by the
legalization of the consumption. "In all the country, the 90
percent of the causes by drugs begins in the possession of
substances for the personal consumption", indicated the
president of Burns. The conclusion is almost obvious: "one
persecutes the consumer, not to the dealer".

Late of sun with good answer of I publish could one be when
arriving at the Urquiza Park, for that they do not know, the
amphitheatre is located at the end of Rosary, well in the
ravine, it costs down, and in that place they touched Fito
Páez, Charly Garci'a, Leon Gieco, Manu Ciao, etc.; almost
5,000 people enter and is of gratuitous access, if the
spectacle therefore arranges it.

The encounter that is made every year, in the occasion of
legalizeing the drug possession for personal consumption,
and that groups to A.R.D.A.(Asociación de Reduccio'n de
Daños of Argentina) and R.A.D.D.U.D.(Red Defending Argentina
of the Rights of Drug Users), along with several groups of
music that support the cause proposed that the people
approach, inquire and if they wanted signed petitionary,
which the modification of drug protests law 23,373 and that
the deputy heads Eduardo Garci'a who already said to half of
the event "the law this who have 14 years of use, arrest,
punishment and I penalize to more than 300,000 young people,
who they did not commit any crime, single that some razzia
had found porro them and some lost their works. For that
reason aside from participating in this beautiful spectacle
that organizes A.R.D.A., it is necessary to participate
actively so that this year in the House of Representatives
the necessity is discussed to reform the law that condemns
the people that Beyond exert the right of articulo19(*). of
the words come off by each one the oradores, the day started
with Nitro 220, precise to the 15 hours, with its influenced
rock of the first time of the Redonditos followed by Urban
of the south with the participation of "Weasel" (Purple
House) in of its hardcores subjects and Abrepuertas, with a
progressive music to hills with more of thousand people, in
whom it was possible to be seen families, pairs, groups of
peculiar friends and. Passed the 16 hours, unfolding that
variety of swing, ska and jazz, the Smowing Rosary ignited
the spark from which it would come more ahead, leaving in
clear as the Casanova singer said in the end "... by the
evils that also aquejan to them to them...".

Then they left the place him to Scraps, that I request a
applause for the R.A.D.D.U.D. boys, and as good hosts let
run music for the side of Orge & Caro Sound System, made up
of a pair, that set afire two cigarettes while they sang on
bases sampled of reggae and trip hop, with letters that
could be included if it existed in the cannábica
constitution.

The Dyvinos, that already had participated the year last in
the march of Buenos Aires, exhausted their credit with a
little glam-rock, enumerating in a subject several legal
drugs (valium, trapax, alcohol and tobacco) and letting see
under a subject to cover of Marylin Manson with his "... I I
do not please of drugs, the drugs please of my..." and sure
an affluent message to fight against the intolerancia, flag
that took in words until the end of the Seth.

With almost 2,500 people already occupying half of the
place, armed the scene for another band that participates
actively in each festival, NAPE OF THE NECK of Haedo (Bs.
Ace), with its Latin metal unfolding, hip hop and with its
ten () members filling the scene, made use of the eyes and
ears of I publish.

After as much insistence of people the turn arrived from the
Vandals, releasing several new subjects, since they
incorporated to his rows a tecladista, a percusionista and
changed of drummer, with a Popono that ironically said "...
we we do not have anything to do with this..." to which the
laughter was come off all.

The Buenosairean debt of the previous weekend took shape in
Rosary, the only place where the march became, and Mendoza
said present with Karamelo Santo and his music of Latin
diversity, including cumbia, ska, rock, and folklore; but
its message of "the today meeting has an intention, aside
from the musical comedy, to find out that there is people
who are working by the legalization of the marijuana
possession or other soft drugs, and who are in the
conscience of you to become jumbled in that moved, and that
one can go imprisoned to have porro and to spend 3 nights
imprisoned with a rapist or with a person whom it
assassinated; so that you they are taken care of and who
they are taken care of of those people, who do not want that
we are on to the true conscience or a third aware and that
we live the life along with the nature ".

The Hands of Filippi, of the bands jeopardize more with
several causes, the appointment could not need, and it
touched all and each one of the subjects of explicit
content, also damaging to the contenders with its words, and
could be listened to say to the Goat "That the police does
not use the excuse of the drug, to continue putting under
youth, persecuting to the young people, accusing them of
dragoons or all that verse that there is around the
prohibited thing".

Night with scent to end, 00 hours in the starred sky and
people is gone away, with the ideas, contentments and some,
with the hope of to have contributed for a good cause, that
year to year grows and, everywhere, leaving tattooed at
heart of the scene the phrase but cuts and recordable of all
the day "CURES, noncWar".

(*) First Part of the Constitution.

I capitulate first: Declarations, rights and guarantees. I
articulate 19: The private actions of the men, who none
offend the order and to the moral he publishes, nor harm to
third, single are reserved to God and free of the authority
of the magistrates. No inhabitant of the nation will be
forced to do what she does not send the law, nor private of
which she not prohibe.
