‘Speak Out in Favor of Peace’

The Schiller Institute presented this letter Aug. 9 to Chilean President Gabriel Boric, at the Presidential office.

His Excellency President of the Republic Gabriel Boric Font

Santiago

Your Excellency:

In addition to greeting you, we write Your Excellency to express our profound concern over the current world situation in which the leaders of the United States and NATO are escalating and using Ukraine as a tool to wage a war to dismember Russia and then later do the same to China. Right now, the conflict has reached a point where the threat of nuclear war has intensified, not only meaning the end of human civilization but also of every living being on the planet. The true cause of this war is the imminent collapse of the trans-Atlantic financial system [whose overseers] aren’t willing to allow a new paradigm to come into being for the benefit of all humanity. It’s the nations of the BRICS and the Global South which are fighting to bring that new paradigm into existence.

For this reason, the Schiller Institute and its founder Hela Zepp-LaRouche felt the moral obligation to create an International Peace Coalition, made up of 30 different organizations, which commemorated on Aug. 6 the 78th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, organizing a worldwide mobilization to demand the following four points:

1. The immediate ending of all funding and weapons to Ukraine.

2. Convene immediate unconditional peace talks.

3. The dissolution of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

4. A new international security architecture must be created to end the division of the world into blocs, eliminating geopolitics. This new architecture must take into account the security concerns of every sovereign nation, large or small.

We urge Your Excellency and the government over which you preside to speak out in favor of peace, to call for a ceasefire and peace negotiations without conditions between the parties to the conflict before the situation goes out of control.

Cordial regards,

Mauricio Aguilera B.
