El gobierno argentino decidió no autorizar la entrada al país de 63 expertos de organizaciones no gubernamentales acreditados para participar en la cumbre de la Organización Mundial del Comercio. Las organizaciones (entre las que se encuentran Global Justice Now, Amigos de la Tierra y el Transnational Institute) han participado en las cumbres anteriores sin ningún inconveniente y están lejos de defender actos violentos como afirma el gobierno argentino. En esta entrevista, Roberto Bissio -director de Social Watch- afirma que se silencian voces críticas de la llamada «globalización corporativa», mientras se recibe con alfombra roja a los lobbistas de las grandes empresas. |

A global coalition of civil society organizations and trade unions present the Spotlight on Sustainable Development 2017 report. The report provides a comprehensive independent assessment of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2017 edition focuses on privatization, partnerships, corporate capture and the impact they have on sustainability and inequality. The articles and textboxes cover all sectors of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. According to the report, it is time to counter privatization trends, reclaim public policy space and take bold measures to strengthen public finance, regulate or reject PPPs, and weaken the grip of corporate power on people’s lives. These are indispensable prerequisites to achieve the SDGs and to turn the vision of the transformation of our world, as proclaimed in the title of the 2030 Agenda, into reality. |
