печете In a little over a week, the leaders of the seven richest capitalist nations assemble in London to review the world economy. Bush, Kohl, Mitterrand and the rest will gloat over their Gulf war 'triumph'. They will lay down demands to Gorbachev to speed up privatisation and marketisation in the USSR. They will not do anything, however, to relieve the victims of what Brazilian Workers Partv leader Lula has called the 'undeclared world war. That war is the ferocious impoverishment of lessdeveloped countries through pumping out money to pay off the debt to Western banks and governments. Unlike the 1950s and '60s, the less developed countries are gettin Absolutely and in compan ith the West. The sane the millions who starve each year, the lorced out of employment to become street pedlars or eggars, the street children in Brazil murdered by police and gangsters because they are an embarrassment. Every aspect of life in the poor countries is worsened by the debt. Health and the environment deteriorate, leading to new epidemics like the horrible cholera outbreak in Latin America The burden on women increases, as they struggle to support families thrown into desperate poverty. Millions starve in Africa because the aid they get is a pittance compared with the tribute paid to the West. On 13 July the Campaign against Debt will mobilise to say to the West's leaders that this war against the people of the poorer countries must stop. And this is just the beginning, part of an international campaign. Contingents from other European countries will be there. Show the capitalist leaders that, while they gorge themselves and pat one another on the back, the hundreds of millions they condemn to misery will not be forgotten.
