on the spirit of the Charter

answer from Eugene ZAPATA GARESCHE, Allie. Mexico , 18 August 2005

I find it suitable desirable and ambitious. It is necessary to step forward and turn the Alliance into a more visible and active body and not only an addition of disparate efforts. The constitution is a good way to give coherence and consistence to the Alliance’s common objectives.

However I am afraid that the Council of 7 people to be established could turn into a centralised decision-making body. Decisions are not to be taken by a closed circle of allies; however respectable or representative they may be.

The Alliance has been criticised for being a group of satellite close friends that get funds from FPH on a yearly basis. This has to change if the Alliance is to broaden its credibility and capacity of impact.
