(ESP abajo) 🌱 Quelle paix avec la Nature en Colombie ?

🇨🇴 En , des communautés afrodescendantes, paysannes et autochtones dénoncent les impacts de la multinationale française 🇫🇷 Veolia, présente dans 19 départements du pays, pour la privatisation de l’eau potable, la pollution des rivières et des nappes phréatiques due à la mauvaise gestion des stations d’épuration, ainsi que pour l’imposition de tarifs abusifs dans les services publics.

🌊 À travers un travail d’enquête de terrain, réalisé aux côtés de leaders communautaires, d’organisations locales et d’une équipe juridique, nous avons documenté les dégâts environnementaux, les risques pour la santé et les violations des droits humains générés par Veolia inspiré de la gestion française de l’eau.

⚖️ Tandis que les rivières se contaminent et que les nappes s’épuisent, les peuples continuent de démontrer qu’une autre gestion de l’eau est possible, fondée sur la justice environnementale, l’autogestion communautaire et la défense de la Vie.

🛑 Wetlands contaminated by French multinational Veolia.

🇨🇴 In , the San Silvestre wetlands are under threat.

In the San Silvestre wetlands, a vital ecosystem for herons, manatees and caimans, has been impacted by toxic contamination by French multinational 🇫🇷 , who continues to destroy the lives and livelihoods of entire communities.

🚱 Families have no safe access to water, depend on water trucks, and have seen their form of subsistence, traditional fishing, gravely affected, while living with pests, foul odors and diseases.

📹 Investigations by Global Witness and San Silvestre Green revealed that Veolia dumps toxic leachates with mercury and heavy metals that exceed legal limits 25 times over, in a protected area that supplies drinking water to more than 300,000 people.

Veolia denies responsibility despite all proofs.

🌍 We demand accountability and that Veolia answers for the social and environmental damages it has caused.

🗣️ We demand environmental justice and protection for those who defend life!

✊🏽 Water should not be a business.

📢 Defending water, life and dignity is an act of resistance.

Rocha Resists the Plundering of Water!

🇨🇴 In the 21st century, while faces an unprecedented water crisis, water —a common good and fundamental right— is being turned into a commodity by multinational corporations like and with the silent endorsement of the State.

🌊 In the community of Rocha, fishing families denounce the privatization of their water sources to supply the city of Cartagena and its luxury hotels.

💸 As a consequence, this afro-colombian community who had lived for centuries on the borders of the Juan Gómez swamp where their ancestors who liberated themselves from slavery had founded one of the first free villages for Black people in the Americas in the early XVIIth century have seen their survival jeopardized by a water grab that echoes the darkest years of paramilitary violence —now disguised under the narratives of “development” and “sustainability.”

🤨 While governments and multinational companies throughout the world are pressingly calling for a “transition”, presenting themselves as “the change” that is so desperately needed, they continue to impose the same dynamics of Neo-colonialism that dispossess local communities from their territories and privatize common goods for the benefits of a few.

✊🏽 Ethnic and rural communities are resisting with dignity! For the right to inhabit and remain in their territories, free from corporate displacement.

📢 Let’s join the call of the community of Rocha:
Water is not for sale — it must be defended!
No more corporate impunity!
No more sacrificing communities in the name of “development”!
Veolia, Out of Colombia!

💧 When Water Becomes a Business

🇫🇷 The presence of French multinational in Colombia 🇨🇴 cannot go unnoticed. Veolia controls water, waste management, and sanitation in at least 14 Colombian municipalities, turning public services into private profits—jeopardizing access, affordability, and quality.

🌎 Globally, Veolia has a record of mismanagement, exploiting weak oversight and corruption to maximize profits while minimizing services. From to , communities have suffered under its profit-first model.

🌪️ Amid a , water—a sacred and finite resource—is being commodified, privatized, and fought over. Corporate control of puts Life itself at risk, prioritizing capital over communities.

🆘 Privatization doesn’t just inflate prices—it attacks ancestral ways of life. Over 12,000 community-managed aqueducts in Colombia prove that people can govern water sustainably, without corporate exploitation.

💪🏽 This is a clash of worldviews:
⚡ One where a single corporation monopolizes life’s essentials, dictating prices and controlling markets on a global scale.
⚡ Another where thousands of grassroots solutions thrive, rooted in care for land and people.

✊🏽 We stand for —public services that guarantee justice, sustainability, and dignity—not corporate control.

PEOPLE POWER ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

⛏️ For over 15 years, farmers from Jericó, in southwestern Antioquia, 🇨🇴, have been resisting a copper mining project by the multinational AngloGold Ashanti ().

💥 The South African 🇿🇦 company plans to extract minerals from the Andes mountains by carving a labyrinth of tunnels beneath the farms of those who have lived and worked this land for generations.

🗣️ “This has never been a mining region. This is a land of farmers, and we want to keep growing food here.” 🌱

⛰️ In December 2023, more than 100 peasants from the villages of Vallecitos and La Hermosa, in the rural district of Palocabildo, dismantled a mining platform that AngloGold Ashanti had secretly installed on land owned by former Jericó mayor Rafael Arteaga. The platform was peacefully handed over—undamaged—to the local police.

🧐 Over a year later, locals caught five individuals “struggling to discreetly move a heavy object into Arteaga’s residence,” along with company workers who were already preparing to install new drilling platforms in secret.

✋ Once again, AngloGold Ashanti is attempting to impose mineral exploration without the communities’ consent—pushing forward a large-scale underground mining project for copper and gold. This would irreversibly disrupt the lives and ecosystems of this region, rooted in peasant traditions and food sovereignty.

Dignified Life for the Emberá Indigenous People in La Rioja 📣

📍 Just 2 km from the Colombian Presidential Palace, the contrast could not be more heartbreaking.

👉 The UPI La Rioja is an Integral Protection Unit designed to house 450 people. Today, more than 1,800 members of the people, displaced by the , are surviving in this space under extreme overcrowding conditions (300%-500%), with limited access to drinking water and facing critical sanitary and structural risks.

🚨 Alarming realities:
- Sewage water overflowing.
- Outbreaks of tuberculosis, gastric, and intestinal diseases.
- Exposed electrical wires and explosion risks due to gas cylinders (over 80 tanks are used for cooking).
- Children playing in contaminated puddles, bringing diseases to the mattresses where they sleep.
-
💔 Since 2024, 24 Emberá children have died in this UPI La Rioja.

🗣️ “No effective actions have been implemented to mitigate the risks, leading to a worsening of sanitary conditions, depriving the Indigenous population of the minimum guarantees to live with dignity, health, and integrity,” denounced local authorities.

🛑 Return processes to their territories have been impossible due to a lack of guarantees against violence and state neglect.

📢 Urgent action is needed. We demand:
1️⃣ Immediate measures to guarantee the dignity of Emberá families in .
2️⃣ Security, health, and housing conditions for their return.
3️⃣ Real commitments from the State regarding their situation.
