For Luis Ignacio Parada (ABC )
Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott was driving with an iron hand the farms of absentee landlords Lord Earn. The Irish Land League, which sought to reform the system of land tenure, asked in 1880 a reduction in the price of leases. The captain refused. To force him to surrender, the League decided to suspend all kinds of dealings with him, the laborers refused to work, shops to sell food, mail stopped sending her letters, even had to recruit workers in Northern Ireland to reap the harvest. The "Times" found a name for this new form of pressure: the word boycott was born. And he made history.
In 1915, Gandhi called on India to boycott British goods. It was the first of the actions that allowed the country to regain its independence in 1947. 50 years ago, a black seamstress named Rose Alabama Parks refused to relinquish her seat to a white man on a bus. The civil rights leaders organized a boycott of the company at whose head he placed the black pastor Martin Luther King. A year later, the Court U.S. Supreme unconstitutional segregation on buses. The abolition of apartheid in South Africa began with a boycott against Shell, Kellogg's and Coca Cola. The suspension of French nuclear testing in Polynesia had its origin in a boycott of French wine industry. American companies stopped contracting discrimination against Catholics in Northern Ireland after a 12-year boycott against Ford Motors, which ended in 1998. Scott Paper abandoned plans to establish a eucalyptus plantation and paper mill in Indonesia five days after Survival International threatened with a boycott of its products in the United Kingdom because the plans threatened the survival of indigenous peoples. Maybe that's why the 'Councillor first "of the Government starts to be so nervous.
