Filled with free stage, poetry, music, and photo exhibitions and film screenings about the struggle of coastal communities reject the Kulon Progo iron sand mine. The event was attended by students, community organizations and even individuals who supported the rejection of iron sand mining. As the core of the event is a direct discussion with speakers from the Society of Farmers Land Coast (PPLP) west Progo.
Widodo and colleagues present as a speaker and representative of PPLP-KP in the discussion. He spoke of the struggle of society joined in PPLP-KP, who insisted not want to leave or hand over their farms, to be made in the iron sand mining area of PT JMM (Jogja Magasa Mining). Because in an area approximately 22 km x 1.8 km from the coast of Kulon Progo which will in exploration to the mining area, there are residential areas and agricultural land masyrayakat around.
"Our lives will last forever in the coastal area Kulon Progo, because it is our ancestral land to be preserved rather than sold. If indeed they are desperate to grab our land, we are ready to defend it with blood. We've been living peacefully with farming there, if there is a disturbing course we will fight back. "Decisive Widodo when answering the question" how long she will survive in the coastal areas? "By one who attended the event.
From the story and asked questions that do seem so strong determination and intention of the farmers who attended the discussion forum is to preserve their farmland. But unfortunately until now there was a program they do not want to sit together to discuss a solution to this problem. All they want is the government revoked the license of iron mining in the coastal area nursing Kulon Progo. After that they just want to sit together.
The government has not yet provided a positive response. Even felt to be more impartial to the owners of capital in people's lives. Even the widely heard at a UK government site Kulon Progo written, "When the national development program in Kulon Progo Regency, of building an international airport as an alternate airport Adisutjipto and processing of iron sands on the south coast realized, the Kulonprogo will become the richest districts in the province of Yogyakarta Special Region. . "www.kulonprogokab.go.id.
Yet society Coastal Kulon Progo west simply do not believe in the promise and discourses which released the government. All they want is to live peacefully in their own land, until the children and grandchildren later. "If asked to choose, tomorrow I promise given money at 100,000, but today I was given Rp. 10,000, yes I still chose the 10,000, the 100,000 that was just the promise of gratitude-gratitude that in the keep. "Said Widodo.
Widodo also expecting help from colleagues who care about the refusal of Iron Mine, to be able to participate by way of each. To liberate and their colleagues pack Tukijo that since the date of May 1, 2011 "kidnapped" and the resistance in Yogyakarta police.
In closing Widodo submit a question to the participants of the discussion. "After hearing the story of us, what will be my friends? What just want to know, listen or help us? "Question was answered from several people who were present among the Richi, which states that the forum was established as a forum for colleagues to help the farmers, for a while that can be done in a way led to the events in the Coastal Kulon Progo through the media so that other people know the events being experienced in Kulon Progo Beach Farmers Land. And this is not the last forum, there will be no more forums like this which will be held elsewhere, as a form of raising solidarity action. The answer is at once closed the event Solidarity Iron Mine Reject night.
