Coca-Cola Involvement & Influence at World Water Forum Derided
Free Speech Radio News reports on the fourth World Water Forum in Mexico City, of which one of the top sponsors is The Coca-Cola Co. In the news report, representatives of several non-governmental organizations call into question Coca-Cola's sponsorship of the forum.

Amit Srivastava of India Resource Center commented: "The Coca-Cola Company has no place at a place like the World Water Forum because its relationship with water is extremely unsustainable and the supposed goal of the forum is to find sustainable uses of water...Coca-Cola is using the forum...as a public relations exercise..."

Joe Zacune of War on Want commented: "Coca-Cola is leading the charge amongst corporations who are not only interested in bottling water and distributing it. There's a new phenomenon of corporations going around the world to developing countries and buying up land in order to control water resources. Aquifers are subterranean chambers that hold water that has filtered down over hundreds of years and as such, represent the heritage of entire communities. Once Coca-Cola controls these resources, it bores deep into them and extracts the water to produce its beverages, and this has a devastating effect on local farmers.

Javier Correa, President of SINALTRAINAL, the National Food Service Workers Union in Colombia, describes the murders of members of his union, highlighting their occurrence during times of union negotiations. "Two of them were assassinated during negotiations of our collective contract, and one of them was assassinated while we were in the middle of a strike. They have imprisoned 14 of us; I have had to live with imprisonment on two occasions on charges brought by Coca-Cola officials; also 48 'compañeros' including myself have been victims of death threats; they've tried to kidnap our children and have tortured us; they've displaced 'compañeros' and burned union halls."
