Puerto Ayora, a 14 de septiembre de 1995

Senora
Dra Chantal Blanton
Ciudad.-

De mis consideraciones:

El Comite de Paro Civil de Santa Cruz, decretado el 2 de septiembre de 1995 y que se encuentra en su decimo tecer dia le hace conocer que la medida de hecho se mantiene indeclinable.

Conocedores que el personal Administrativo de la Estacion Charles Darwin, ingresa a realizar sus labores utilizando diferentes vias, actitud tal que este comite considera una provocacion a nuestras medidas. Ademas es de conocimiento general que solamente pueden ingresar personas que viven dentro de los predios del SPNG y de la ECCHD.

Por las razones expuestas solicitamos se respete en su totalidad las resoluciones del comite de paro caso contrario les hacemos responsables de cualquier hecho que se suscitare en lo posterior.

Atentamente

Sr Jose Andrade N., Presidente Del Comite

Sra. Gulnara Palacios, Secretaria



[TRANSLATION to English: ]

To: Dr. Chantal Blanton, City of Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz island)

The Civil Strike Committee of Santa Cruz, created by decree on September 2, 1995, and which is in its 13th day on strike, informs you that the strike continues in effect.

We are aware that administrative personnel of the Charles Darwin (Research) Station have been using various means to enter the workplace and conduct their work, an attitude which this committee considers as a provocation. Besides, it is common knowledge that only persons who reside inside the grounds of the GNPS >(Galapagos National Park Service) and CDRS (Charles Darwin Research Station) are permitted to enter.

For the aforementioned reasons, we wish you to respect all of the resolutions of the strike committee; otherwise, you will be responsible for any action that might occur as a result.

Sincerely,

Mr. Jose Andrade N., President of the Committee

Mrs. Gulnara Palacios, Secretary
