La Raza Unida Party and Mexico’s Socialist Workers Party Wednesday issued a statement accusing the U.S. government of practicing “cultural genocide” that had contributed to poverty conditions for both Mexi cans and Mexican-Americans. Jose Angel Gutierrez of Crystal City, founder and national chairman of La Raza Unida, and Carlos Olamendi, foreign secretary for Mexico’s Partido Socialista de Los Trabajadores (Socialist Workers Party), jointly announced a four-day “solidarity week between Mexicans and Chicanos” next week in Mexico City. The two leaders said they would become allies in an effort to change the U.S. government’s immigration and foreign policies as they pertain to Mexico and to protect the human rights of Hispanics in the United States. Gutierrez said the Carter adminis tration’s human rights policy was hypocritical because only two suc cessful Justice Department civil rights prosecutions had resulted from 129 pending cases alleging police abuse of Mexican-Americans. The solidarity week, said Gutier rez, would begin in Mexico Tuesday, the day after the celebration of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution of 1906, and would open a continuing exchange of cultural and political ideas between members of the two parties. He said many other Hispanic or ganizations, including the League of United Latin American Citizens, had been invited to participate in the Mexico City activities. Included is a march to the presidential palace. where Gutierrez said Lopez Portillo had agreed to meet with representa tives of La Raza Unida on Wednes day. Gutierrez said past presidents of Mexico had been more receptive to Chicanos than president Carter, and Chicanos therefore would establish their own foreign relations with Mexico and other Hispanic coun tries. He joined Olamendi in a state ment denouncing the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s plans to build fences in Texas, Arizona and California to keep out illegal Mexi can aliens. “RUP and PST wish to express our opposition to the unfriendly, unilat eral and extortionist policies of Pres ident Jimmy Carter as demonstrated by the so-called ‘Tortilla Curtain,’ but what we prefer to call the ‘Kar- ter, Kastillo Kurtain (KKK),” the statement said. The “Kastillo” remark referred to INS Director Leonel J. Castillo. Olamendi claimed his party, not related to the Trotskyite U.S. Socialist Workers Party, was the sec ond largest party in Mexico to the PRI Party, which has ruled since the Mexican Revolution. Olamendi said his party supported the Lopez-Portillo regime’s promise to pour profits from Mexico’s re cently discovered petroleum depo sits into capital improvements such as schools and hospitals and into creating jobs to alleviate the coun try’s high unemployment rate. But he said the Socialists believed Mexico should sell the oil and gas “to anyone who pays the price’’ because the United States had refused to agree to a $2.60 per thousand cubic feet price for natural gas • is HOLIK’S PACKAGE STORE Pabst Blue Ribbon $158 .
