Europe and the Middle East - Left visions for global peace and justice

Martin — 2009-01-16T18:04:33Z

The new enemy of the West in the 21st century has become the so called Muslim world. With strong nationalist propaganda encouraged by the right wing a smearing campaign against Muslims settled in European countries and in the Middle East has gained strength. The USA led “war on terrorism” has had severe consequences stigmatizing peoples and “individuals as savages, aggressors and primitive people”. Expressed islamofobia and racism is becoming a normality and (...)

No to fortress Europe!”

Martin — 2009-01-16T16:57:59Z

Injustice and inequality in Europe is increasing. A new social stratum has been created on the streets of Europe with no rights, no social security, constantly threatened by the possibility to be dispossessed by their low and unsecured wage. These are the migrants, people that have traveled to the European countries, looking for a place to work or seeking for an asylum.
People that gathered on the European continent from all over the world, looking for nothing else than a job to support (...)

Let people decide about their stuff!

Let people decide about their stuff!
How do young people think about the EU-constitution?
Obviously there is a lack of democracy on the international level especially on the EU-level of politics. The unification process of the EU, as a lot of other processes on supranational level, has been and is still dominated by governments. Often these governments act not in the interests and even against the political majority of their own populations. A lot of supranational processes were neoliberal (...)

Block G8 - fight poverty and war!

Martin — 2009-01-16T16:22:56Z

This year's G8 Summit will take place in Heiligendamm, Germany. The G8 is an illegitimate institution, a closed club of the 8 most industrialized, “privileged” states worldwide: USA, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Russia. These summits are a main centre of the neoliberal offensive: The member-states decide upon the general guidelines of global economy and politics.

Precarious life is a half life

Martin — 2009-01-15T23:00:00Z

Precarity is not simply a new linguistic term nowadays. It has been imposed by European and global neoliberal capitalism as a generalized condition of life, which influences all social and ethnic groups, regardless of state and sociocultural background.
When we refer to precarity, we have to stress that the youth of Europe is one of the most vulnerable and most brutally attacked groups by neoliberalism in our societies. From their first years of adulthood and, in many cases, even earlier, (...)

WE WANT GOOD PUBLIC SERVICES - WE SAY NO TO BOLKESTEIN DIRECTIVE ! (10.1.2006)

Martin — 2006-01-11T23:00:00Z

Leftist organizations from all over Europe organized a demonstration against the privatization of welfare services. Jyv�skyl� 5th January 2006
Many public services are essential, and define the quality of life. Infrastructures for basic human needs including for example health care, education, water and energy supply, social services, postal services, and environmental and waste management must be under democratic public control. They should not be part of capitalist markets which only (...)

Giorgos — 2005-10-10T10:29:46Z

The 4th ESF process (scheduled for spring 2006) has been assigned to Greece, during the last ESF meeting in London, after a long preceding period of discussions among the various platforms and representatives of the European social movements.
The next ESF meeting is of great significance, since it will have to answer to two basic needs:
a) The need to convince the citizens of Europe and the global society, that the social movements have a solid basis and a future, in contrast with many (...)
