This page is intended principally to be used as a bulletin board entries are published in the blog as a platform where you can talk freely with other fans and the staff of translation.

seen it, is the next point. You see, by reason of having completed (finally) the translation of the first book Embraced series, and intend to get to translate the third, I thought it was a good idea to edit the second book (translated by another person) to have the same design as the others. Aesthetic issues, come on. The case is, as I need to reread if the 3 is a reference to a prior event or character, not easy for me to review and edit it depending on how is the rest, yes, keeping the credit for work already performed. If you think it, I thought it also in the first book in the series GoE.

For that, I'll put a poll on this issue to see what you think vosotr @ s , please let vuesta opinion with a vote, not cost you anything to give a couple of clicks.

Also ask the European Parliament to rule against the convictions overstated the government of Chile has been applied against our brothers in Cañete, because we are convinced that it was a condemnation of political character.

The Mapuche Chilean Parliament vindicate their rights
March 24, 2011 •
Representatives of the Mapuche Indians of Chile reported today at a conference organized in European Parliament building in Brussels the "marginalization" and "discrimination" to which, in his opinion, are subjected by the laws of that country, particularly in relation to their land.
The conference "The Mapuche in Chile. Indigenous communities in the countries of Latin America" \u200b\u200bwas led by English MEP of the Greens Junqueras Oriol, expressing his hope that, with it, "the European Parliament to become European awareness "about the situation of this ethnic group native to Chile and Argentina.

According to the organizers, the Chilean law is "discriminating" to indigenous communities in areas such as human rights, social justice, economic inclusion and land rights.

The partnership agreement between the EU and Chile currently in effect, based on political dialogue, cooperation and a free trade agreement provides for the European investment of more than 16 million euros for the period from 2007 to 2013, for promote social cohesion in the Latin American country.

The Chilean Affairs Officer at the European External Action Service (EEAS), Nicola Murray, recalled that one of the objectives of this agreement is to "reduce inequality and poverty in Chile.

noted that one of its main achievements was the implementation In September 2009 the Convention 169 of the International Labour Organization (ILO), which recognizes the right of indigenous peoples to be consulted on legislation affecting them, for what the EU has invested over one million euros.

Murray also said that in the framework of political dialogue, the EU has asked Chile on the planned reform of the antiterrorism law and the elimination of the code of military justice in the case of allegations against civilians, but warned that the task for " sovereign states "and that through the partnership agreement the EU" can not force Chile to do something. "

Although cohesion objectives social agreement, the most critical voices point out that, today, the situation in Chile is still a "sad example of an Indian nation marginalized by a rigid and inefficient public policy." So

out especially to follow anti-terrorism legislation in force of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

The doctorate in history at the University of Paris at the Sorbonne, Arauco Chihuailaf of Mapuche origin, lamented that "ignore" the Indians and prevalence of the "economic interests" on the welfare and rights of the community, especially with regard to access to their "ancestral lands."

"There are only a means of production and survival, but the 'mother earth', the source of life with all that it entails, "he said.
Chihuailaf also stressed that his claim of" cultural pluralism "is" to some, a threat to the homogeneity of the nation. "
On the other hand, criticized that indigenous people in Chile and other Latin American countries are" exploited "by the neoliberal model," he chose the market as the absolute reference ", and in particular by TNCs that draw on the wealth of their land.
