El empeño actual por crear un Area de Libre Comercio de lasAméricas (ALCA) brinda la posibilidad de unificar toda estaactividad encaminada a abrir los mercados en el Norte y el Sur,bajo la égida de un solo acuerdo.

En septiembre de 2003, la prensa informó que Roberto Bendini,Jefe del Estado Mayor, en un discurso pronunciado ante el Colegio de Guerradel Ejército, hizo alusión a las amenazas extranjeras contralos recursos costeros y de la Patagonia, y mencionó las actividadesde ciertas ONG y de “pequeños grupos israelíes” que llegabanso pretexto de turismo. Esto dio nueva vida al espectro del “PlanAndinia”, mito antisemítico popular en los círculos ultranacionalistasde Sudamérica en el decenio de 1970, según el cual Israeltenía intenciones de apoderarse de la Patagonia con soldados israelíesque habrían de llegar a la región disfrazados de turistas. El general Bendini dijo que el informe de la prensa carecía de fundamentoy aprovechó la oportunidad para condenar la discriminaciónreligiosa y política. El Ministerio de Defensa formóuna comisión ...

The principal indigenous groups--the Kollas in Salta and Jujuy, the Mapuches in the Patagonian provinces, and the Wichis and Tobas in the northern provinces--represent less than 5 percent of the national population. The INAI estimates that there are approximately 700,000 indigenous people, most of whom reside in rural areas. However, the nongovernmental Indigenous Association of the Argentine Republic estimates the indigenous population at 1.5 million persons. Other demographers in recent years have provided estimates of at most 450,000 persons. To clarify the discrepancy, the national census scheduled to take place during the year was to have collected information about indigenous identity for the first time; however, at mid-year, funding shortfalls required the Federal Government to postpone the census until the year 2001. ...

In September 2003, the press reported that Army Chief Roberto Bendini, in a speech at the Army War College, referred to foreign threats to Patagonian and coastal resources, mentioning activities by certain NGOs and by "small Israeli groups" arriving under a veil of tourism. This raised the specter of the "Plan Andinia," an anti-Semitic myth popular in ultra-nationalist circles in southern South America in the 1970s, which alleged Israeli intentions to take over Patagonia using Israeli soldiers, who would come to the region disguised as tourists. General Bendini denied the substance of the press report and used the opportunity to condemn religious and political discrimination. The Ministry of Defense formed an in-house investigative commission, which quickly issued a report clearing General Bendini. However, human rights advocates questioned, to no effect, irregularities in the Commission's formation and investigation. ... [Read More]
