Aquino's position on the foreign debt is to renegotiate payments. She says that "much less stringent conditions [for repayment] are imposed on countries with new and credible leaderships, as in the case of Argentina today." In Argentina, the austerity program imposed on the country as one of these "less stringent conditions" has led to the third general strike (on Jan. 24) against its "new and credible leadership."
Finally, Aquino has presented no alter -native land reform plan to that introduced by Marcos years ago.
So the struggle for national liberation government now in power will be unable to meet the expectations of the 53 million Filipino people. The future will bring continued austerity and the dissipation of mass illusions in the elite opposition.
The long struggle to bring down Ferdinand Marcos proved that a determined people can succeed against all odds. That experience will not be forgotten. The Philippine revolution combines the struggles for political democracy, national liberation and land reform, with the class struggle of the workers and peasants against capitalism itself. The fall of Ferdinand Marcos is a tremendous step toward ultimate victory on all of these fronts.
