Rangarira iyo referendum yekuti tinofanirwa kugadzira musika mumwe chete neUnited States? Munoziva, uya akabvunza kuti makambani anofanira kuva nesimba rekurova mitemo yedu here? Aiwa, neniwo handidaro. Mufunge, ndakatora maminetsi gumi ndichitsvaga wachi yangu rimwe zuva ndisati ndaona kuti ndaive ndakaipfeka. Kukanganwa nezvereferendamu chimwe chiratidzo chekuchembera. Nokuti panofanira kunge pane imwe, handizvo here? Mushure mezvose zvinoshungurudza pamusoro pekuti tirambe tiri muEuropean Union here kana kuti kwete, hurumende yaisazosiya hutongi hwedu kune rimwe bato rine mumvuri, risina demokrasi isina kutibvunza. Zvingadaro here?

Chinangwa Transatlantic Trade uye Investment Partnership ndeyekubvisa misiyano yekutonga pakati peUS nenyika dzeEurope. Ndakazvitaura vhiki shomanana yapfuura. Asi ini ndakasiya nyaya inonyanya kukosha: kugona kunoshamisa kwaizopa bhizinesi hombe kumhan'ara zuva nezuva kunze kwehurumende dzinoedza kudzivirira vagari vadzo. Zvaizobvumira boka repachivande ramagweta emakambani kukurira kuda kweparamende uye kuparadza dziviriro yedu yepamutemo. Asi vadziviriri vehutongi hwedu hapana zvavanotaura.

Nzira iyo izvi zvinowanikwa nayo inozivikanwa se investor-state gakava kugadzirisa. Iri kutoshandiswa munzvimbo zhinji dzepasi kuuraya mirau inodzivirira vanhu nepasi mhenyu.

Hurumende yeAustralia, mushure mekukakavadzana kukuru mukati nekubuda muparamende, akasarudza kuti mudzanga waifanira kutengeswa uri mumapaketi asina chinhu, inoratidzirwa chete nenyevero dzinokatyamadza dzoutano. Sarudzo iyi yakasimbiswa nedare repamusoro reAustralia. Asi, vachishandisa chibvumirano chekutengeserana Australia yakarova neHong Kong, kambani yefodya yePhilip Morris yakakumbira dare redzimhosva riri kunze kwenyika kuti ripe mari yakawanda semuripo wekurasikirwa nekwainoti pfuma yayo.

Munguva yedambudziko remari, uye mukupindura hasha dzeveruzhinji pamusoro pemhosva dzekurova mhepo, Argentina yakamisa kumisa simba revanhu nemari yemvura (izvi zvinonzwika sezvinozivikanwa?). Yakamhan'arirwa nemakambani epasi rose ane mabhiri akawanda akanga aita kuti hurumende iite chimwe chinhu. Pamhosva idzi nedzimwe dzakadai, yakamanikidzwa kubhadhara mari inopfuura bhiriyoni remadhora. MuEl Salvador, nharaunda dzeko dzakakwanisa nemutengo mukuru (vatatu vakapondwa) kunyengetedza hurumende kuti irambe mvumo yemugodhi mukuru wegoridhe uyo waida kusvibisa mvura yavo. Kukunda kwedemocracy? Kwete kwenguva refu, zvichida. Kambani yekuCanada yaida kuchera mugodhi uyu yave kumhan'arira El Salvador nemari inosvika mamiriyoni mazana matatu negumi nemashanu emadhora - nekuda kwekurasikirwa nepurofiti yayange ichitarisira.

MuCanada, matare akakanzura ma patent maviri ekambani yekuAmerica yemishonga Eli Lilly, nechikonzero chekuti kambani iyi yanga isina kuburitsa humbowo hwakakwana hwekuti ine mabhenefiti aaida. Eli Lilly ndiye zvino kumhan’arira hurumende yeCanada ne$500m, uye vachida kuti mitemo yeCanada patent ichinjwe.

Makambani aya (pamwe nemazana emamwe) ari kushandisa mitemo yekunetsana kwevashambadziri-nyika yakaiswa muzvibvumirano zvekutengeserana zvakasainwa nenyika dzavari kumhan'arira. Mitemo inosimbiswa nemapaneru asina kana imwe yedziviriro yatinotarisira mumatare edu pachedu. Nyaya dzacho dzinoitwa muchivande. Vatongi vacho magweta emakambani, mazhinji acho anoshandira makambani emhando iyi ane nyaya dzavanonzwa. Vagari nenharaunda dzakakanganiswa nezvisarudzo zvavo havana chimiro chepamutemo. Hapana kodzero yekukwirira pamusoro pezvakanakira nyaya yacho. Zvakadaro vanogona kupidigura hutongi hweparamende uye mitongo yematare epamusoro.

Hauzvitendi here? Hezvino izvo mumwe wevatongi vematare aya anoti nezvebasa rake. "Pandinomuka husiku ndofunga nezvekupokana, hazviregi kundishamisa kuti nyika dzakazvimiririra dzakabvuma kukwikwidzana kwekudyara zvachose ... hurumende, mitongo yese yematare, nemitemo yese nemirau inobva muparamende."

Hapana kodzero dzinoenderana dzevagari. Hatingashandise matare aya kukumbira dziviriro iri nani kubva kumakaro emakambani. Sezvo Democracy Center inoti, iyi "inzira yekutonga yakasarudzika yemakambani epasi rose".

Kunyangwe masutu aya akasabudirira, anogona kushandisa simba rinotyisa pamutemo. Mumwe mukuru wehurumende yeCanada, achitaura nezvemitemo yakaunzwa neNorth America Free Trade Agreement, akati: “Ndakaona tsamba dzakabva kumafemu ezvemitemo eNew York neDC dzichiuya kuhurumende yeCanada pamusoro pezvese mutemo mutsva wezvakatipoteredza uye chirevo. makore mashanu apfuura aisanganisira makemikari ekuchenesa, mishonga yemishonga, mishonga yezvipembenene, mutemo wepatent. Democracy, sechirevo chine musoro, haigoneki mumamiriro ezvinhu aya.

Iyi ndiyo hurongwa hwatichava pasi payo kana chibvumirano chetransatlantic chikaenda mberi. Hurumende yeAmerica neEuropean Commission, idzo dzose dzakatorwa nemakambani adzinofanirwa kudzora, dziri kutsika madziro kuti nyaya yekunetsana kwevanodyara mari iiswe muchibvumirano ichi.

Komisheni iyi inopembedza mutemo uyu nekutaura kuti matare edzimhosva haape makambani dziviriro yakakwana nekuti "anogona kunge akarerekera divi rimwe chete kana kushaya rusununguko". Ndeapi matare arikutaura? Ivo vekuUS? Nyika dziri nhengo dzayo? Hazvitauri. Muchokwadi inotadza kuburitsa imwechete kongiri muenzaniso unoratidza kudikanwa kweiyo itsva, extrajudicial system. Imhaka yekuti matare edu haawanzo kurerekera divi kana kushaya rusununguko zvekuti makambani anoda kuvapfuura. EC inotsvaga kutsiva matare akavhurika, anozvidavirira, anozvitonga nehurongwa hwakavharwa, huwori huzere nekunetsana kwechido uye masimba echisimba.

Mitemo yevanodyara mari inogona kushandiswa kupwanya chero kuedza kuchengetedza NHS kubva kuhutongi hwemakambani, kutonga zvakare mabhanga, kudzikamisa makaro emakambani emagetsi, kugadzirisa njanji, kusiya mafuta efosi muvhu. Mitemo iyi inovhara sarudzo dzegutsaruzhinji. Vanorambidza zvematongerwo enyika.

Ndosaka pasina kumboedza nehurumende yeUK kutizivisa nezve kurwiswa kwakaipisisa kwedemocracy, ndoda kutibvunza. Ndosaka maConservatives vanopopota nezve hutongi vakanyarara. Mukai, vanhu isu tiri kurohwa.
