ASOCOBAS, ASOCOPEC, SICHOGLU, SICHOTUARI, etc, etc . . .
These guys love their acronyms. Deciphering the alphabet soup listing of associations is like reading two adolescent's Facebook chats about the new kid in 3rd period math class. I mean WTF, LOL, LMAO, ROTFL, ROTFLMAO, . . . I digress.
Having attended most of the meetings recently held by these groups (by obligation, not personal choice) and as others have posted here, witnessing the same behavior at each and every one, if they ever actually do some sort of an organized protest, it will fall on deaf ears. Except for the ubiquitous coverage by "sosuanews" and "Detras del Rumor" it will do nothing more than satisfy their own need to hear themselves speak. Just look at the listing in the article of nine separate associations and the mention of more. All these associations represent mostly the same group of people, many of whom belong to all the associations mentioned.
One other fact that is usually not mentioned is that they only represent a small minority of the total population of Sos?a's approximately 70,000 inhabitants. Since they are mostly based around Pedro Clisante they garner a disproportionate amount of "media" attention. It's doubtful that their members and planned protests will have much of an impact on the overall future of Sos?a. Unless they organize and address the issues in a different manner they shouldn't expect much change.
They have discussed several dates for protests at the different meetings including the date mentioned in the article of August 2nd, which has come and gone. They also suggested August 10, also passed. Let's see what date they come up with next.
