Translated by Kiraz Janicke for Venezuelanalysis.com

Copenhagen, Kingdom of Denmark Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez:

Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen,
Excellencies, friends, I promise that I will not
talk more than most have spoken this afternoon.
Allow me an initial comment which I would have
liked to make as part of the previous point which
was expressed by the delegations of Brazil,
China, India, and Bolivia. We were there asking
to speak but it was not possible. Bolivia's
representative said, my salute of course to
Comrade President Evo Morales, who is there,
President of the Republic of Bolivia.

[Audience applause]

She said among other things the following, I
noted it here, she said the text presented is not
democratic, it is not inclusive.

I had hardly arrived and we were just sitting
down when we heard the president of the previous
session, the minister, saying that a document
came about, but nobody knows, I've asked for the
document, but we still don’t have it, I think
nobody knows of that top secret document.

Now certainly, as the Bolivian comrade said, that
is not democratic, it is not inclusive. Now,
ladies and gentlemen, isn’t that just the reality of the world?

Are we in a democratic world? Is the global
system inclusive? Can we hope for something
democratic, inclusive from the current global system?

What we are experiencing on this planet is an
imperial dictatorship, and from here we continue
denouncing it. Down with imperial dictatorship!
And long live the people and democracy and equality on this planet!

[Audience applause]

And what we see here is a reflection of this: Exclusion.

There is a group of countries that consider
themselves superior to us in the South, to us in
the Third World, to us, the underdeveloped
countries, or as a great friend Eduardo Galeano
says, we, the crushed countries, as if a train ran over us in history.

In light of this, it’s no surprise that there is
no democracy in the world and here we are again
faced with powerful evidence of global imperial
dictatorship. Then two youths got up here,
fortunately the enforcement officials were
decent, some push around, and they collaborated
right? There are many people outside, you know?
Of course, they do not fit in this room, they are
too many people. I've read in the news that there
were some arrests, some intense protests, there
in the streets of Copenhagen, and I salute all
those people out there, most of them youth.

[Audience applause]

Of course young people are concerned, I think
rightly much more than we are, for the future of
the world. We have - most of us here - the sun on
our backs, and they have to face the sun and are very worried.

One could say, Mr. President, that a spectre is
haunting Copenhagen, to paraphrase Karl Marx, the
great Karl Marx, a spectre is haunting the
streets of Copenhagen, and I think that spectre
walks silently through this room, walking around
among us, through the halls, out below, it rises,
this spectre is a terrible spectre almost nobody
wants to mention it: Capitalism is the spectre,
almost nobody wants to mention it.

[Audience applause]

It’s capitalism, the people roar, out there, hear them.

I have been reading some of the slogans painted
on the streets, and I think those slogans of
these youngsters, some of which I heard when I
was young, and of the young woman there, two of
which I noted. You can hear among others, two
powerful slogans. One: Don’t change the climate, change the system.

[Audience applause]

And I take it onboard for us. Let’s not change
the climate, let’s change the system! And
consequently we will begin to save the planet.
Capitalism is a destructive development model
that is putting an end to life; it threatens to
put a definitive end to the human species.

And another slogan calls for reflection. It is
very in tune with the banking crisis that swept
the world and still affects it, and of how the
rich northern countries gave aid to bankers and
the big banks. The U.S. alone gave, well, I lost
the figure, but it is astronomical, to save the
banks. They say in the streets the following: If
the climate were a bank it would have been saved already.

[Audience applause]

And I think that's true. If the climate were one
of the biggest capitalist banks, the rich governments would have saved it.

I think Obama has not arrived. He received the
Nobel Peace Prize almost the same day that he
sent 30 thousand soldiers to kill more innocents
in Afghanistan, and now he comes to stand here
with the Nobel Peace Prize, the president of the United States.

But the United States has the machinery to make
money, to make dollars, and has saved, well, they
believe they have saved the banks and the capitalist system.

Well, this is a side comment that I wanted to
make previously. We were raising our hand to
accompany Brazil, India, Bolivia, China, in their
interesting position that Venezuela and the
countries of the Bolivarian Alliance firmly
share. But hey, they didn’t let us speak, so do
not count these minutes please, Mr. President.

[Audience applause]

Look, over there I met, I had the pleasure of
meeting this French author Hervé Kempf.
Recommending this book, I recommend it, it is
available in Spanish there is Hervé - its also
in French, and surely in English, How the Rich
are Destroying the Planet. Hervé Kempf: How the
Rich are Destroying the Planet. This is what
Christ said: it would be easier for a camel to
pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of heaven. This is what our lord Christ said.

[Audience applause]

The rich are destroying the planet. Do they think
the can go to another when they destroy this one?
Do they have plans to go to another planet? So
far there is none on the horizon of the galaxy.

This book has just reached me, Ignacio Ramonet
gave it to me, and he is also around somewhere in
this room. Finishing the prologue or the preamble
this phrase is very important, Kempf says the following, I’ll read it:

“We can not reduce global material consumption if
we don’t make the powerful go down several
levels, and if we don’t combat inequality. It is
necessary that to the ecological principle that
is so useful at the time of becoming conscious,
‘think globally and act locally,’ we add the
principle that the situation imposes: ‘Consume less and share better.’”

I think it is good advice that this French author Hervé Kempf gives us.

[Audience applause]

Well then, Mr. President, climate change is
undoubtedly the most devastating environmental
problem of this century. Floods, droughts, severe
storms, hurricanes, melting ice caps, rise in
mean sea levels, ocean acidification and heat
waves, all of that sharpens the impact of global crisis besetting us.

Current human activity exceeds the threshold of
sustainability, endangering life on the planet,
but also in this we are profoundly unequal.

I want to recall: the 500 million richest people,
500 million, this is seven percent, seven
percent, seven percent of the world’s population.
This seven percent is responsible, these 500
million richest people are responsible for 50
percent of emissions, while the poorest 50
percent accounts for only seven percent of emissions.

So it strikes me as a bit strange to put the
United States and China at the same level. The
United States has just, well; it will soon reach
300 million people. China has nearly five times
the U.S. population. The United Status consumes
more than 20 million barrels of oil a day, China
only reaches 5-6 million barrels a day, you can’t
ask the same of the United States and China.

There are issues to discuss, hopefully we the
heads of states and governments can sit down and
discuss the truth, the truth about these issues.

So, Mr. President, 60 percent of the planet’s
ecosystems are damaged, 20 percent of the earth's
crust is degraded, we have been impassive
witnesses to deforestation, land conversion,
desertification, deterioration of fresh water
systems, overexploitation of marine resources,
pollution and loss of biodiversity.

The overuse of the land exceeds by 30 percent the
capacity to regenerate it. The planet is losing
what the technicians call the ability to regulate
itself; the planet is losing this. Every day more
waste than can be processed is released. The
survival of our species hammers in the
consciousness of humanity. Despite the urgency,
it has taken two years of negotiations for a
second commitment period under the Kyoto
Protocol, and we attend this event without any real and meaningful agreement.

And indeed, on the text that comes from out of
the blue, as some have called it, Venezuela says,
and the ALBA countries, the Bolivarian Alliance
say that we will not accept, since then we’ve
said it, any other texts that do not come from
working groups under the Kyoto Protocol and the
Convention. They are the legitimate texts that we
have been discussing so intensely over the years.

[Audience applause]

And in these last few hours, I believe you have
not slept, plus you have not eaten, you have not
slept. It does not seem logical to me to come out
now with a document from scratch, as you say.

The scientifically substantiated objective of
reducing the emission of polluting gases and
achieving an agreement on long-term cooperation
clearly, today at this time, has apparently failed, for now.

What is the reason? We have no doubt.

The reason is the irresponsible attitude and lack
of political will from the most powerful nations
on the planet. No one should feel offended, I
recall the great José Gervasio Artigas when he
said: “With the truth, I neither offend nor
fear.” But it is actually an irresponsible
attitude of positions, of reversals, of
exclusions, of elitist management of a problem
that belongs to everyone and that we can only solve together.

The political conservatism and selfishness of the
largest consumers, of the richest countries shows
high insensitivity and lack of solidarity with
the poor, the hungry, and the most vulnerable to
disease, to natural disasters. Mr. President, a
new and single agreement is essential, applicable
to absolutely unequal parties, according to the
magnitude of their contributions and economic,
financial and technological capabilities and
based on unconditional respect for the principles contained in the Convention.

Developed countries should set binding, clear and
concrete commitments for the substantial
reduction of their emissions and assume
obligations of financial and technological
assistance to poor countries to cope with the
destructive dangers of climate change. In this
respect, the uniqueness of island states and
least developed countries should be fully recognized.

Mr. President, climate change is not the only
problem facing humanity today. Other scourges and
injustices beset us, the gap between rich and
poor countries has continued to grow, despite all
the millennium goals, the Monterrey financing
summit, at all these summits as the President of
Senegal said here, revealing a great truth, there
are promises and unfulfilled promises and the
world continues its destructive march.

The total income of the 500 richest individuals
in the world is greater than the income of the
416 million poorest people. The 2.8 billion
people living in poverty on less than $2 per day,
representing 40 per percent of the global
population, receive only 5 percent of world income.

Today each year about 9.2 million children die
before reaching their fifth year and 99.9 percent
of these deaths occur in poorer countries.

Infant mortality is 47 deaths per thousand live
births, but is only 5 per thousand in rich
countries. Life expectancy on the planet is 67
years, in rich countries it is 79, while in some poor nations is only 40 years.

Additionally, there are 1.1 billion people
without access to drinking water, 2.6 billion
without sanitation services, over 800 million
illiterate and 1.02 billion hungry people, that’s the global scenario.

Now the cause, what is the cause?

Let’s talk about the cause, let’s not evade
responsibilities, and let’s not evade the depth
of this problem. The cause, undoubtedly, I return
to the theme of this whole disastrous panorama,
is the destructive metabolic system of capital
and its embodied model: Capitalism.

Here’s a quote that I want to read briefly, from
that great liberation theologian Leonardo Boff,
as we know a Brazilian, our American. Leonardo
Boff says on this subject as follows:

“What is the cause? Ah, the cause is the dream of
seeking happiness through material accumulation
and of endless progress, using for this science
and technology with which they can exploit
without limits all the resources of the earth.”

And he cites here Charles Darwin and his “natural
selection”, the survival of the fittest, but we
know that the strongest survive over the ashes of the weakest.

Jean Jacques Rousseau, we must always remember,
said that between the strong and the weak,
freedom is oppressed. That’s why the Empire
speaks of freedom; it’s the freedom to oppress,
to invade, to kill, to annihilate, and to
exploit. That is their freedom, and Rousseau adds
this saving phrase: “Only the law liberates.”

There are countries that are hoping that no
document comes out of here precisely because they
do not want a law, do not want a standard,
because the absence of these norms allows them to
play at their exploitative freedom, their crushing freedom.

We must make an effort and pressure here and in
the streets, so that a commitment comes out of
here, a document that commits the most powerful countries on earth.

[Audience applause]

Well, Mr. President, Leonardo Boff asks... Have
you met Boff? I do not know whether Leonardo
might come, I met him recently in Paraguay, we’ve always read him.

Can a finite earth support an infinite project?
The thesis of capitalism, infinite development,
is a destructive pattern, let’s face it.

Then Boff asks us, what might we expect from
Copenhagen? At least this simple confession: We
can not continue like this. And a simple
proposition: Let’s change course. Let's do it,
but without cynicism, without lies, without
double agendas, no documents out of the blue, with the truth out in the open.

How long, we ask from Venezuela, Mr. President,
ladies and gentlemen, how long are we going to
allow such injustices and inequalities? How long
are we going to tolerate the current
international economic order and prevailing
market mechanisms? How long are we going to allow
huge epidemics like HIV/AIDS to ravage entire
populations? How long are we going to allow the
hungry to not eat or to be able to feed their own
children? How long are we going to allow millions
of children to die from curable diseases? How
long will we allow armed conflicts to massacre
millions of innocent human beings in order for
the powerful to seize the resources of other peoples?

Cease the aggressions and the wars! We the
peoples of the world ask of the empires, to those
who try to continue dominating the world and exploiting us.

No more imperial military bases or military
coups! Let’s build a more just and equitable
economic and social order, let’s eradicate
poverty, let’s immediately stop the high emission
levels, let’s stop environmental degradation and
avoid the great catastrophe of climate change,
let’s integrate ourselves into the noble goal of
everyone being more free and united.

Mr. President, almost two centuries ago, a
universal Venezuelan, a liberator of nations and
precursor of consciences left to posterity a
full-willed maxim: “If nature opposes us, let’s
fight against it and make it obey us.” That was Simón Bolívar, the Liberator.

From Bolivarian Venezuela, where a day like
today some ten years ago, ten years exactly, we
experienced the biggest climate tragedy in our
history (the Vargas tragedy it is called), from
this Venezuela whose revolution tries to win
justice for all people, we say it is only
possible through the path of socialism!

Socialism, the other spectre Karl Marx spoke
about, which walks here too, rather it is like a
counter-spectre. Socialism, this is the
direction, this is the path to save the planet, I
don’t have the least doubt. Capitalism is the
road to hell, to the destruction of the world. We
say this from Venezuela, which because of
socialism faces threats from the U.S. Empire.

From the countries that comprise ALBA, the
Bolivarian Alliance, we call, and I want to, with
respect, but from my soul, call in the name of
many on this planet, we say to governments and
peoples of the Earth, to paraphrase Simón
Bolívar, the Liberator: If the destructive nature
of capitalism opposes us, let’s fight against it
and make it obey us, let’s not wait idly by for the death of humanity.

History calls on us to unite and to fight.

If capitalism resists, we are obliged to take up
a battle against capitalism and open the way for
the salvation of the human species. It’s up to
us, raising the banners of Christ, Mohammed,
equality, love, justice, humanity, the true and
most profound humanism. If we don’t do it, the
most wonderful creation of the universe, the
human being, will disappear, it will disappear.

This planet is billions of years old, and this
planet existed for billions of years without us,
the human species, i.e. it doesn’t need us to
exist. Now, without the Earth we will not exist,
and we are destroying Pachamama as Evo says, as
our indigenous brothers from South America say.

Finally, Mr. President, and to finish, let’s
listen to Fidel Castro when he said: "One species
is in danger of extinction: Humanity."

Let’s listen to Rosa Luxemburg when she said: "Socialism or Barbarism."

Let us listen to Christ the Redeemer when he
said: "Blessed are the poor for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, we are
capable of not making this Earth the tomb of
humanity. Let us make this earth a heaven, a
heaven of life, of peace, peace and brotherhood
for all humanity, for the human species.

Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much and enjoy your meal.

[Audience applause]

Fidel Castro Ruz: The truth of what happpened at the summit

Email posted by: "Mitchel Cohen" December 20, 2009

Text is complete here.
Until very recently, the discussion revolved 
around the kind of society we would have. Today, 
the discussion centers on whether human society will survive.



These are not dramatic phrases. We must get used 
to the true facts. Hope is the last thing human 
beings can relinquish. With truthful arguments, 
men and women of all ages, especially young 
people, have waged an exemplary battle at the 
Summit and taught the world a great lesson.



It is important now that Cuba and the world come 
to know as much as possible of what happened in 
Copenhagen. The truth can be stronger than the 
influenced and often misinformed minds of those 
holding in their hands the destiny of the world.



If anything significant was achieved in the 
Danish capital, it was that the media coverage 
allowed the world public to watch the political 
chaos created there and the humiliating treatment 
accorded to Heads of States or Governments, 
ministers and thousands of representatives of 
social movements and institutions that in hope 
and expectation traveled to the Summit’s venue in 
Copenhagen. The brutal repression of peaceful 
protesters by the police was a reminder of the 
behavior of the Nazi assault troops that occupied 
neighboring Denmark on April 1940.



But no one could have thought that on December 
18, 2009, the last day of the Summit, this would 
be suspended by the Danish government a NATO 
ally associated with the carnage in Afghanistan 
-- to offer the conference’s plenary hall to 
President Obama for a meeting where only he and a 
selected group of guests, 16 in all, would have the exclusive right to speak.



Obama’s deceitful, demagogic and ambiguous 
remarks failed to involve a binding commitment 
and ignored the Kyoto Framework Convention.

He 
then left the room shortly after listening to a 
few other speakers. Among those invited to take 
the floor were the highest industrialized 
nations, several emerging economies and some of 
the poorest countries in the world. The leaders 
and representatives of over 170 countries were only allowed to listen.



At the end of the speeches of the 16 chosen, Evo 
Morales, with the authority of his indigenous 
Aymara origin and his recent reelection with 65% 
of the vote as well as the support of two-thirds 
of the Bolivian House and Senate, requested the 
floor. The Danish president had no choice but to 
yield to the insistence of the other delegations. 
When Evo had concluded his wise and deep 
observations, the Danish had to give the floor to 
Hugo Chavez. Both speeches will be registered by 
history as examples of short and timely remarks. 
Then, with their mission duly accomplished they 
both left for their respective countries. But 
when Obama disappeared, he had yet to fulfill his task in the host country.



From the evening of the 17th and the early 
morning hours of the 18th, the Prime Minister of 
Denmark and senior representatives of the United 
States had been meeting with the Chairman of the 
European Commission and the leaders of 27 nations 
to introduce to them -- on behalf of Obama -- a 
draft agreement in whose elaboration none of the 
other leaders of the rest of the world had taken 
part. It was an antidemocratic and practically 
clandestine initiative that disregarded the 
thousands of representatives of social movements, 
scientific and religious institutions and other participants in the Summit.



Through the night of the 18th and until 3:00 a.m. 
of the 19th, when many Heads of States had 
already departed, the representatives of the 
countries waited for the resumption of the 
sessions and the conclusion of the event. 
Throughout the 18th, Obama held meetings and 
press conferences, and the same did the European leaders. Then, they left.



Something unexpected happened then: at three in 
the morning of the 19th, the Prime Minister of 
Denmark convened a meeting to conclude the 
Summit. By then, the countries were represented 
by ministers, officials, ambassadors and technical staff.



However, an amazing battle was waged that morning 
by a group of representatives of Third World 
countries challenging the attempt by Obama and 
the wealthiest on the planet to introduce a 
document imposed by the United States as one agreed by consensus in the Summit.



The representative of Venezuela, Claudia Salerno, 
showed with impressive energy her right hand 
bleeding from strongly slamming on the table to 
claim her right to take the floor. Her tone of 
voice and the dignity of her arguments will never be forgotten.



The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba made a 
vigorous speech of approximately one thousand 
words from which I have chosen a few paragraphs to include in this Reflection:



"The document that you, Mister Chairman, 
repeatedly claimed that did not exist shows up 
now. […] we have seen drafts circulating 
surreptitiously and being discussed in secret meetings…"



"…I deeply resent the way you have led this conference."



"…Cuba considers the text of this apocryphal 
draft extremely inadequate and inadmissible. The 
goal of 2 degrees centigrade is unacceptable and 
it would have incalculable catastrophic consequences…"



"The document that you are unfortunately 
introducing is not binding in any way with 
respect to the reduction of the greenhouse effect gas emissions."



"I am aware of the previous drafts, which also 
through questionable and clandestine procedures, 
were negotiated by small groups of people…"



"The document you are introducing now fails to 
include the already meager and lacking key phrases contained in that draft…"



"…as far as Cuba is concerned, it is incompatible 
with the universally recognized scientific view 
sustaining that it is urgent and inescapable to 
ensure the reduction of at least 45% of the 
emissions by the year 2020, and of no less than 80% or 90% by 2050."



"Any argument on the continuation of the 
negotiations to reach agreement in the future to 
cut down emissions must inevitably include the 
concept of the validity of the Kyoto Protocol […] 
Your paper, Mister Chairman, is a death 
certificate of the Kyoto Protocol and my delegation cannot accept it."



"The Cuban delegation would like to emphasize the 
preeminence of the principle of 'common by 
differentiated responsibilities,' as the core of 
the future process of negotiations. Your paper 
does not include a word on that."



"This draft declaration fails to mention concrete 
financial commitments and the transfers of 
technologies to developing countries, which are 
part of the obligations contracted by the 
developed countries under the UN Framework 
Convention on Climate Change […] Mister Chairman, 
by imposing their interests through your 
document, the developed nations are avoiding any concrete commitment."



"…What you, Mister Chairman, define as ‘a group 
of representative leaders’ is to me a gross 
violation of the principle of sovereign equality 
consecrated in the United Nations Charter…"



"Mr. Chairman, I formally request that this 
statement be included in the final report of the 
works of this regrettable and shameful 15th 
session of the Conference of the Parties."


The representatives of the countries had been 
given only one hour to present their views. This 
led to complicated, shameful and embarrassing situations.



Then, a lengthy debate ensued where the 
delegations from the developed countries put a 
heavy pressure on the rest to make the conference 
adopt the abovementioned document as the final result of their deliberations.



A small number of countries firmly insisted on 
the grave omissions and ambiguities of the 
document promoted by the United States, 
particularly the absence of a commitment by the 
developed countries on the reduction of carbon 
emissions and on the financing that would allow 
the South countries to adopt alleviating and adjustment measures.

After a long and extremely tense discussion, the 
position of the ALBA countries and Sudan, as 
President of the G-77, prevailed that the 
document was unacceptable to the conference thus it could not be adopted.

In view of the absence of consensus, the 
Conference could only “take note” of the 
existence of that document representing the 
position of a group of about 25 countries.



After that decision was made -- at 10:30 in the 
morning Denmark’s time -- Bruno, together with 
other ALBA representatives, had a friendly 
discussion with the UN Secretary to whom they 
expressed their willingness to continue 
struggling alongside the United Nations to 
prevent the terrible consequences of climate 
change. Their mission completed, our Foreign 
Minister and Cuban Vicepresident Esteban Lazo 
departed to come back home and attend the 
National Assembly session. A few members of the 
delegation and the ambassador stayed in 
Copenhagen to take part in the final procedures.



This afternoon they reported the following:



"…both, those who were involved in the 
elaboration of the document, and those like the 
President of the United States who anticipated 
its adoption by the conference…as they could not 
disregard the decision to simply 'take note' of 
the alleged 'Copenhagen Agreement,' they tried to 
introduce a procedure allowing the other COP 
countries that had not been a part of the shady 
deal to adhere to it, and make it public, the 
intention being to pretend such an agreement was 
legal, something that could precondition the 
results of the negotiations that should carry on."



"Such belated attempt was again firmly opposed by 
Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia. These countries 
warned that a document which had not been adopted 
by the Convention could not be considered legal 
and that there was not a COP document; therefore, 
no regulations could be established for its alleged adoption…"



"This is how the meeting in Copenhagen is coming 
to an end, without the adoption of the document 
surreptitiously worked out in the past few days 
under the clear ideological guidance of the US Administration…

"

Tomorrow our attention will be focused on the National Assembly.

Lazo, Bruno and the other members of the 
delegation will be arriving at midnight today. On 
Monday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will be 
able to explain in details and with the necessary 
accuracy the truth of what happened at the Summit.

Fidel Castro Ruz
