On September #29s we return to surround the Congress

Text read at Neptuno Square (next to the Congress of Spain) on September 29th

We come back on #26s and on saturday #29s we’re surrounding the Congress again

We would like to invite you to the next mobilisation as it was agreed and called upon by action meeting of Coordinadora 25s and by the spontaneous assembly that took place during the night of 25s in Sol:
  • On wednesday 26th September : Concentration in Neptuno Square (by the parliament), 7 pm.
  • On saturaday, 29th SeptemberSurround the Congressfrom 6 pm.
New calls to action could arise in the next days, we’ll keep reporting.
We don’t have organizational capacity to arrange transport to Madrid for next Saturday, so please, contact local groups which could organize them. You can write to autobuses25s@gmail.com and we’ll publish the list of transports. We will keep you updated in this website.
This announcement was made this morning in a press conference in which we have made a balance of what happened yesterday. You can read the notes or see the video here.
1) Despite the serious incidents of yesterday, we want to convey a positive idea: the massive affluence made 25s a success. Two generations have broken the strong deal cut during the Transition [from dictatorship to democracy] and have generated a social protest without comparison in the recent history of Spain. Whatever happens from now on, 25S will be considered a fresh start.
2) While the Government had been trying to criminalize social protests and portraited the demonstration as a coup d’etat, the reality was different. As it has seen, people of all ages and conditions visualized the kidnapping of democracy, under the excuse of the economic crisis. In fact, this call has been an example of citizen’s political courage to attend despite the government’s intolerable blackmail and fear campaign.
3) In front of a deaf and blind power, we reaffirm our position of non-violent civil disobedience. We condemn the provocation and infiltration techniques that were used in yesterday’s manifestation by the police to dissolve the protest. We are the first ones to regret that the focus on the violent escenes set aside the real reason that led us to the streets, which is no other that the effective occupation of our free capacity of political decision. Before the police charged, the event was non-violent and civic. It was clear that the action did not pursue to interfere in the regular work of the Parliament. The support of some members of parliament and parliamentary groups just proves that the iniciative did not seek, as announced, to literally ocuppy the Congress, but to attract the attention to the fatal distance existing between citizens and their representatives. The damges in several public offices from Izquierda Plural (a political group whose offices are nearby the protest) proves the irrationality of a Government that tries to hide its weakness and absence of legitimacy acting in an authoritarian way.
4) This has not been just a demostration of discontent, but a political statement. It would be a big mistake if, after these events, the Government does not listen these voices and keeps disregarding the desesperation and suffering its measures are causing in the spanish population.
We are still in the streets and we have no fear.

Voltamos no 26s e o Sábado rodearemos de novo o Congresso
Desde a assembleia da acção da Coordenadora 25 s e também desde a assembleia espontânea que teve lugar na noite do 25s no Sol convida-se a estas e próximas mobilizações:
  • Quarta-Feira 26 de Setembro: Concentração em Neptuno, 19h.
  • Sábado 29 de Setembro: Rodearemos o Congreso, a partir das 18h.
De igual modo é possível que surjam convocatórias de novas acções nos próximos dias,
seguiremos informando.
Desde Madrid não temos capacidade organizativa para gerir autocarros para vir no Sábado. Por favor, contactem com colectivos locais que o possam organizar. Podeis escrever-nos a autobuses25s@gmail.com para que publiquemos a listagem de colectivos e formas de contacto neste site.
Isto anunciou-se esta manhã numa roda de prensa na que também fizemos balanço do acontecido ontem, podes ler algumas notas ao respeito ou ver o vídeo aqui.
1) Apesar dos graves incidentes de ontem, queremos transmitir una ideia positiva: o 25s foi um êxito de afluência massiva. Duas gerações romperam o consenso de ferro da transição e geraram um protesto social sem comparação na recente história espanhola.
Aconteça o que aconteça a partir de agora, o 25s é já um ponto e à parte.
2) Acabou por ser impossível evitar excessos num cenário que tinha sido tensado e criminalizado até ao exagero e à caricatura pela Delegação do Governo. Como se mostrou, as pessoas, de todas as idades e condições, que saíram à rua não queriam dar nenhum golpe de Estado, mas sim visibilizar o sequestro da democracia que, apesar do nosso protesto, continua tendo lugar sob a desculpa da crise económica. Nesse sentido, é um facto que a convocatória tenha sido um exemplo de coragem política da cidadania face à intolerável chantagem do medo.
3) Perante um poder que é surdo e mudo, reafirmamo-nos na nossa posição de desobediência civil não violenta, assim como condenamos as estratégias de provocação e infiltração policiais que, como aparece nalguns meios, foram utilizadas na concentração de ontem para dissolver os participantes da concentração. Somos os primeiros a lamentar que o foco nas cenas violentas que ontem desgraçadamente se produziram deixe de lado a questão de fundo que nos levou à rua e que não é outra que a ocupação efectiva da nossa capacidade de decisão política. Até ao momento das cargas, a convocatória transcorreu de forma cívica e responsável e ficou manifesto que a acção não pretendia interferir no transcurso normal da Câmara. O apoio que a convocatória teve por parte de alguns deputados e grupos parlamentares evidencia assim mesmo que a convocatória não procurava, como se anunciou, “ocupar” literalmente o Congresso, mas sim chamar a atenção sobre a funesta distância que existe entre este e a cidadania. Que vários cargos públicos de Esquerda Plural que simplesmente se encontravam no passeio sofreram também a actuação desproporcionada do corpo policial demonstra a irracionalidade de um Governo que apenas acerta a esconder a sua debilidade e falta de legitimidade de forma autoritária.
4) Esta não foi uma simples manifestação de queixas, mas sim uma manifestação política. Seria um grave erro que, após estes factos, o Governo não escutasse  esta voz e continuasse a fazer caso omisso do desespero e sofrimento que está a causar a sua gestão na população espanhola.
Continuamos nas ruas sem medo.

Nous sommes revenus le 26S et Nous reviendrons samedi 29Sprochain, pour encercler le Congrès
Nous vous invitons aux prochaines mobilisations, décidées à la réunion de coordination de l’action #25S et aussi à l’assemblée spontanée qui a eu lieu dans la nuit du #25S à SOL :
  • Madrid : Mercredi 26 septembre : Rassemblement à la Place Neptuno,19H00.
  • Madrid : Samedi 29 septembre Nous encerclons le Congrès, à partir de 18H00.
Il est possible qu’il y ait  encore d’autres appels dans les prochains jours, nous continuerons à vous informer.
À Madrid nous n’avons pas la capacité d’organiser, ni de  fournir des bus pour l’arrivée de samedi. Vous êtes priés de contacter les collectifs locaux,susceptibles d’organiser des déplacements. Vous pourrez nous contacter à:  < autobuses25s@gmail.com > pour publier le listing des collectifs et contacts sur notre site web.
Cela a été annoncé ce matin dans une conférence de presse au cours de laquelle on a fait aussi un bilan de tout ce qui s’est passé hier. Vous pouvez voir quelques notes à ce sujet ou visionner la video ici.
1) Malgré les graves incidents d’hier, nous voulons transmettre une idée positive : l’affluence massive du #25S en fait un succès. Deux générations ont brisé le consensus de transition de fer et ont généré une contestation sociale sans précédent dans l’histoire espagnole. Quoi qu’il arrive désormais, le #25S est maintenant un tournant.
2) Il n’a pas été possible d’empêcher le débordement, dans un scénario detensions, et criminalisé de façon carricaturale par la Délégation du Gouvernement . Comme vous avez pu le voir, les personnes de tous âgeset conditions, présentes dans les rues, ne voulaient en aucun cas un coup d’état, mais éclairer le fait que la confiscation (étatique) de la démocratiecontinue, prenant la crise économique comme prétexte.  L’appel a été un modèle de courage politique des citoyens, face au chantage intolérable de la peur.
3) Face au pouvoir, sourd et aveugle, nous réaffirmons notre position non-violente de désobéissance civile et nous condamnons les stratégies de provocation et d’infiltration de la police visant à disperser les participants durassemblement d’hier (voir les vidéos et reportages). Nous sommes les premiers à regretter que l’attention portée aux scènes violentes, qui se sont  malheureusement produites hier, ait occulté la raison principale qui nous a fait prendre la rue et qui n’est autre que l’occupation réelle de notre capacité à prendre des décisions politiques. Avant les charges policières, le rassemblement se déroulait de manière civique et responsable et il estévident que les actions n’essayaient pas de troubler le cours normal du Congrès. Le soutien à notre appel, par quelques députés et groupes parlementaires, met en évidence que cette initiative ne cherchait pas, comme cela a été publié, à ”occuper” réellement le Congrès, mais à attirerl’attention sur le triste fossé qu’il y a entre les membres du Congès et lesCitoyens. Certains membres du groupe ”Izquierda Plural”, qui se trouvaientsimplement  sur le trottoir, ont souffert aussi de l’action disproportionnée de la police. Tout ceci démontre l’irrationnalité d’un Gouvernement quiveut cacher sa faiblesse et son manque de légitimité d’une façon autoritaire.
  4) Ce rassemblement n’a pas été simplement une manifestation de plaintes, mais une véritable manifestation politique.  Ce serait une grave erreur que le Gouvernement n’écoute pas nos voix, en continuant à mépriser le désespoir et la souffrance que cause sa gestion à toute la population espagnole.
Nous resterons dans la rue, sans peur !

Torneremo  il 26s e il sabato circonderemo di nuovo il Congresso
Dalla assemblea di azione della Coordinadore 25s e anche dall’assemblea spontanea che ebbe luogo nella notte del 25s al “Sol” vi invitiamo alle prossime mobilitizzazioni:
  • Mercoledì      26 settembre: Raduno al “Neptuno” ore 19
  • Sabato      29 settemre: circondiamo il Congresso, a partire dalle ore 18

 

Inoltre è possibile che vengano indette riunioni per nuove azioni nei prossimi giorni, vi terremo informati.
Da Madrid non abbiamo capacità organizzativa per gestire autobus per arrivare il sabato.
Perfavore, contattate i collettivi locali che possono organizzare (il trasferimento).
Potete scriverci a autobuses25s@gmail.com qui pubblicheremo la lista dei collettivi e i modi di contatto con questa pagina.
è stato annunciato questa mattina in una conferenza stampa nella quale si è anche tenuto un bilancio di quanto è successo ieri, è possibile leggere alcune note su di esso o guardare il video qui.
1)  Nonostante i gravi incidenti di ieri, vogliamo trasmettere un’idea positiva: il 25s  è stato un successo di afflusso massiccio. Due generazioni hanno rotto il consenso e hanno dato vita ad una protesta sociale senza precedenti nella recente storia spagnola. Qualunque cosa accada da ora in poi, il 25s è ormai un punto fermo.
2) Non è stato possibile evitare disordini in uno scenario che era stato intesito e criminalizzato con esagerazione e caricatura dagli Organi di Governo. Come si vede, le persone di ogni età e condizione, che sono scesi in piazza non hanno voluto fare nessun colpo di stato, ma rendere noto  il sequestro della democrazia che, nonostante le nostre proteste, continua a svolgersi con la scusa della crisi economica. In questo senso, è un dato di fatto che l’appello (alle persone) è stato un esempio di coraggio politico dei cittadini di fronte all’intollerabile ricatto della paura.
3) Di fronte a un potere che è sordo e cieco, riaffermiamo la nostra posizione di disobbedienza civile  non-violenta e condannaiamo le strategie di provocazione e l’infiltrazione della polizia come riportato in alcuni mezzi di comunicazione, che sono stati utilizzati per il corteo di ieri per disperdere la concentrazione dei partecipanti. Siamo i primi a lamentarsi che l’attenzione alle scene di violenza che si sono verificate ieri, purtroppo, hanno messo da parte la questione di fondo che ci ha fatti scendere in strada e che non è altro che l’occupazione di fatto della nostra capacità decisionale politica. Fino al momento delle cariche, il corteo  è andato in modo civile e responsabile ed è stato dimostrato che l’azione non era destinata ad interferire con il normale svolgimento della Camera (Parlamento).
Il supporto che il corteo ha avuto da parte di alcuni parlamentari e di alcunigruppi parlamentari è anche la prova che l’iniziativa non ha cercato, come annunciato , “di occupare”, letteralmente il Congresso, ma vuole riportare l’attenzione sul divario incredibile che esiste tra il Parlamento stesso  e la cittadinanza.
Che diverse cariche di governo di Izquierda Plural, che semplicemente si trovavano sul marciapiede, subirono le azioni sproporzionate della polizia mostra l’irrazionalità di un governo che riesce solo a nascondere la sua debolezza e la mancanza di legittimità di forma autoritaria.
4) Questo non è stata semplicemente una manifestazione di denunce, ma una manifestazione politica. Sarebbe un grave errore, dopo questi eventi, che il governo non ascolti questa voce e continuasse ad ignorare la disperazione e la sofferenza che sta causando la loro gestione del popolo spagnolo.
Continuiamo nelle strade senza paura.

Επιστρέφουμε στις 26 Σεπτεμβρίου και το Σάββατο θα περικυκλώσουμε πάλι
Η συνέλευση δράσης του συντονιστικού 25s καθώς και η αυθόρμητη συνέλευση που έγινε τη νύχτα της 25ης Σεπτεμβρίου, καλούν στις ακόλουθες κινητοποιήσεις:
  • Τετάρτη 26 Σεπτεμβρίου : Συγκέντρωση στην Πλατεία Neptuno, στις 19:00.
  • Σάββατο 29 Σεπτεμβρίου: Περικυκλώνουμε το Κονγκρέσο από τις 18:00.

 

Επίσης, είναι πιθανό να προκείψουν καλέσματα  για νέες δράσεις τις επόμενες μέρες. Θα συνεχίσουμε να ενημερώνουμε.
Από τη Μαδρίτη δεν έχουμε την οργανωτική δυνατότητα για να κλείσουμε λεωφορεία για το Σάββατο. Παρακαλούμε, επικοινωνήστε με τοπικές συλλογικότητες για να το οργανώσουν. Μπορείτε να μας γράψετε στο autobuses25s@gmail.com για να δημοσιεύσουμε σε αυτή τη σελίδα τη λίστα συλλογικοτήτων και τις φόρμες επικοινωνίας.
Αυτό ανακοινώθηκε σήμερα το πρωί σε μία συνέντευξη Τύπου, όπου επίσης έγινε απολογισμός των χθεσινών γεγονότων. Μπορείς να βρεις σχετικές σημειώσεις ή να δεις το βίντεο εδώ.
1) Παρά τα σοβαρά χθεσινά γεγονότα, θέλουμε να μεταδόσουμε μια θετική ιδέα: Η 25η Σεπτεμβρίου ήταν μία επιτυχία με μεγάλη προσέλευση κόσμου. Δύο γενιές μετά τη μετάβαση [από τη δικτατορία στη Δημοκρατία]  γεννήθηκε μία κοινωνική διαμαρτυρία χωρίς προηγούμενο στην σύγχρονη Ισπανική ιστορία. Ό,τι και να συμβεί από εδώ και πέρα, η 15η Σεπτεμβρίου θα αποτελεί σημείο αναφοράς.
2) Η Κυβέρνηση προσπάθησε να ποινικοποιήσει τους κοινωνικούς αγώνες και κατηγόρησε τους οργανωτές για συνωμοσία πραξικοπήματος. Όμως στην πραγματικότητα, άτομα κάθε ηλικίας και κατάστασης βγήκαν απλά στο δρόμο για να καταδείξουν την “απαγωγή της δημοκρατίας” που παρά την διαμαρτυρία μας εξακολουθεί να πραγματοποιείται , με δικαιολογία την οικονομική κρίση. Υπο αυτή την έννοια, είναι γεγονός ότι αυτή η συγκέντρωη αποτέλεσε παράδειγμα πολιτικού θάρρους των πολιτών, απέναντι στον απαράδεκτο εκβιασμό του φόβου.
3) Μπροστά σε μία τυφλή και κουφή εξουσία, επιβεβαιώνουμε εκ νέου τη θέση μας για μη-βίαιη πολιτική ανυπακοή. Επίσης καταδικάζουμε τις προκλητικές και προβοκατόρικες τακτικές της αστυνομίας, που όπως φαίνεται σε ορισμένα μέσα, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στην χθεσινή συγκέντρωση για να διαλύσουν τους διαδηλωτές. Είμαστε οι πρώτοι που λυπηθήκαμε όταν οι βίαιες σκηνές που διαδραματίστηκαν, παραμέρισαν τη βασική αιτία που μας έβγαλε στο δρόμο: την ανάπτυξη της ικανότητάς λήψης πολιτικών αποφάσεων. Μέχρι τη στιγμή των επιθέσεων της αστυνομίας, η διαδήλωση εκτυλισσόταν ειρηνικά και πολιτισμένα και ήταν φανερό ότι δεν επιδίωκε να παρέμβει στη λειτουργία του Κοινοβουλίου. Άλλωστε, η στήριξη εκ μέρους κάποιων βουλευτών και βουλευτικών ομάδων αποδεικνύει ότι η πρωτοβουλία δεν επιδίωκε κυριολεκτικά να “καταλάβει” το Κονγκρέσο, όπως ανακοινώθηκε, αλλά να τραβήξει την προσοχή στο χάσμα που το χωρίζει απ’ τους πολήτες. Το γεγονός ότι στελέχη της “Izquierda Plural” (αριστεράς) που απλά βρίσκονταν στο πεζοδρόμιο δέχτηκαν επίσης τη δυσανάλογη βία των αστυνομικών δυνάμεων, δείχνει τον παραλογισμό μιας Κυβέρνησης που προσπαθεί να κρύψει την αδυναμία και την έλλειψη νομιμότητάς με αυταρχικό τρόπο.
4) Αυτή δεν ήταν μια απλή διαδήλωση διαμαρτυρίας, αλλά μια πολιτική διαδήλωση. Θα ήταν μεγάλο λάθος για την Κυβέρνηση, αν μετά τα γεγονότα, συνέχιζε να αγνoεί τη φωνή της απελπισίας και δυστυχίας που η ίδια προκαλεί στον ισπανικό λαό.

1)Trotz der         schweren Zwischenfälle gestern wollen wir eine positive Idee         vermitteln: Der massive Andrang machte den 25s zu einem Erfolg. Was         auch immer jetzt kommen wird, der 25s ist ein Neuanfang.
2)Wärend         die Regierung versucht die Proteste zu kriminalisieren und die         Dämonstrationen als Staatsstreich darzustellen, weicht die Realität         davon ab. Menschen jeden alters und verschiedenster Hintergründe         haben das Kidnapping der Demokratie, dass mit der Entschuldigung der         Wirtschaftskrise ausgeführt         wurde, aufgezeigt. Das war ein Beispiel vom Bürgerlichen Mut, trotz         der unerträglichen Erpressung und der Angst-Kampagne.

#Watch25s The Spanish Congress #25s

Schedule, 12h: Welcome 2pm: Lunch. 4pm: Informative talks on the action 5.30pm: Marches to Sol and Cibeles 6pm: Surrounded the Congress
What: 
Do you know why the #25s the Spanish Congress will be surrounded by people?
Twitter: HT internacional #Watch25S and #25s

Source: coordinadora25S

Next September 25th we will surround the Spanish Congress to rescue it from a kidnapping that has turn this institution into a powerless one. A kidnapping of popular sovereingty perpetrated by the Troika and the financial markets, and executed under the blind eye or the cooperation of most of the political parties. Parties that have betrayed their election programs, their voters and all the citizens, not fulfilling their promises and contributing to their progressive impoverishment.

We surround the Spanish Congress after more than a year of intense mobilizations through all social networks, having realized that democracy is not possible when those institutions that claim to be its representatives move themselves by interests that are not those of the majority. Because we have nothing at all to discuss with the powers-to-be that have systematically proved to be blind, deaf and mute when confronted with concrete, fair and just equality and social justice demands. We surround it to rescue politics from an unsustainable and leeching economic règime, such as it is Capitalism.

We surround the Spanish Congress because we want to step forward to social mobilization, placing the focus on the recovery of citizen’s sovereignty and power. This is, democracy. We’ve grown many struggle structures, spaces for sharing and discussing both on the Internet and the public squares, at the neighborhoods and workplaces, and we’ve achieved iniciatives that we want to continue developing on a grassroots base, with no false shortcuts and step by step. Because we believe that the time for a few deciding for the rest is long gone; because opposed to those that want to steal our future, we have the means and collective intelligence to decide and build the society we want; because we need no false brokers, but resources and collective tools that actively encourage the political involvement of everybody in the common issues.

We surround the Spanish Congress this 9/25 to tell those who allegedly command us that we’ve had enough, that we’ll not comply with their unjust dictates like paying their debt, and we’ll defend the collective rights: housing education, healthcare, labour, democratic participation, public wealth. To start a process that stripe of their inmunity those who are responsible for this crisis, to judge the gamblers that created this situation instead of rewarding them.

On September, 25, we’ll demonstrate around the Spanish Congress because we want to retake responsibility over our own future and stop accepting more impositions. To tell those who hold Democracy hostage that their time for leaving is now, and to demand the destitution of this Government as a first step, because we are here to liberate Democracy with a new constituent process. An open process of direct participation in which we determine and set in motion the necessary political institutions, participation tools and legal and political resorts that we need to guarantee that collective decisions ate fully effective. A sustained constituent process which collective definition starts, but doesn’t end, on September 25.

To rescue the Congress is to deliver an invitation to other social movements to organize and join, such as public employees fighting for public services in diverse “tides” and other equality and social justice struggles. It means our refusal to accept fear, impotence and disorientation that grow from the reduction of all politics to economics and its deadly consequences such as fascism, xenophoby, racism or sexism. And to look for a collective solution.

We invite everybody who want to join us in surrounding the Spanish Congress next September 25, to cry “enough!” and continue this path to rescue Democracy and sovereignty.
We want rights, democracy, justice and freedom for all the people.
We’ve taken so much, and we’re not afraid.
We’ll meet this 25S… and far beyond!

Release following the meeting of the Group of Joint – 23 and April 24, 2012 People’s Summit – Rio +20

(English)
1. Registration
So far more than 600 activities have been proposed. In order to articulate
them and move towards more convergence, a subcommittee of the Methodology
Working Group was established.

Registrations have been extended until May 5th.
We remind you that the Governments and political parties can not register.
Universities and foundations can do. Registration for the media are
alreadyopen.
Soon, we will also open registration for stands and cultural activities.

2. Mobilization
Two days of global mobilization are scheduled: June 5th (Earth Day) and
June 20th (Global Day of Action). A Working Group was established to
support these mobilizations, to participate, send or receivemore
information, write to:mobiliza@rio2012.org.br.

3. Dialogues with Civil Society from 16 to 19 June in Rio de Janeiro
The Brazilian government has proposed to the People’s Summit to
participate in the process called “Dialogues with Civil Society” (DDS).
The Coordination Group of the People’s Summit disagrees with this process
and its methodology. From our perspective, the method proposed by the DDS
does not match the dynamics of dialogue we are trying to build. This
proposal of DDS was established from top to bottom, the government chosed
the topics, participants and facilitators, clearly indicating that the
results will be controlled byitself. To participate in this dynamic means
giving carte blanche to “civil society recommendations” on which we would
not have our say. The People’s Summit for Social and Environmental Justice
is an autonomous space, critical of the Conference Official and big
corporations.

4. Accommodation during the People’s Summit
As you may know already it is difficult to find housing between the 15th
and 23rd June in Rio de Janeiro. We recommend you book already on the
internet, there is still availability in neighborhoods such as Copacabana
and Ipanema. The People’s Summit will be held in the district called
Flamengo. From Copacabana and Ipanema you can go to Flamengo by Metro or
Bus.

este proceso llamado “Diálogos con la Sociedad Civil”. El Grupo de
Articulación de la Cumbre de los Pueblos manifiesta su desacuerdo sobre
este proceso y su metodología. De nuestro punto de vista el método
establecido por el DDS no recoge la dinámica de dialogo que hemos
intentado hacer avanzar. La propuestas de los DDS establecida de encima
para abajo, teniendo el gobierno brasileño escogido los temas, las
participantes y los facilitadores, indicando de forma inequívoca que los
diálogos y sus resultados serán controlados por el gobierno. Participar de
esta dinámica significa dar una carta blanca a las“recomendaciones de a
sociedad civil” sobre los cuales no tenemos la mas mínima condición de
disputar los resultados. La Cumbre de los Pueblos en la Rio+20 por
Justicia social y Ambiental es un proceso autónomo, situado en el campo
critico en relación a la agenda de la conferencia oficia y de las
corporaciones.

4. 4. Alojamiento durante la Cumbre de los Pueblos.

junio en Rio de Janeiro. Recomendamos intentar reservar a través de

Communiqué suite à la réunion du Groupe d’Articulation – 23 et 24 avril 2012

Sommet des Peuples – Rio+20

1. Inscriptions

Au jour d’aujourd’hui plus de 600 activités ont été proposées. Dans la
perspective d’articuler celles-ci afin d’avancer vers plus de convergence
une sous-commission du Groupe de Travail Méthodologie a été créée. Les
inscriptions ont été prolongées jusqu’au 5 mai.

Nous vous rappelons que les Gouvernements et les Partis politiques ne
peuvent pas s’inscrire. Les Universités et les Fondations peuvent le

3. Dialogues avec la Société Civile du 16 au 19 juin à Rio de Janeiro

Le gouvernement brésilien a proposé au Sommet des Peuples de participer au
processus appelé “Dialogues avec la Société Civile” (DDS). Le Groupe
d’Articulation du Sommet des Peuples est en désaccord avec ce processus et
avec sa méthodologie. De notre point de vue, la méthode proposée par les
DDS ne correspond pas à la dynamique de dialogue que nous tâchons de
construire. Cette proposition des DDS a été établie de haut en bas, le
gouvernement ayant choisi les thèmes, les participants et les
facilitateurs, indiquant de façon claire que les résultats seront
controlés par le gouvernement. Participer à cette dynamique signifie
donner carte blanche aux “recommandations de la société civile” sur
lesquelles nous n’aurions pas notre mot à dire. Le Sommet des Peuples pour
la Justice Sociale et Environnementale est un espace autonome,critique de
la Conférence Officielle et des grandes entreprises auxquelles elle est
liée.

4. Hébergement durant le Sommet des Peuples
Comme vous le savez peut-être déjà il est difficile de trouver des
logements entre le 15 et le 23 juin à Rio de Janeiro. Nous vous
recommandons de réserver déjà sur internet, il y a encore des
disponibilités dans des quartiers comme Copacabana et Ipanema. Le Sommet
des Peuples aura lieu dans le quartier appelé Flamengo. Depuis Copacabana
et Ipanema il est possible d’aller à Flamengo en Métro ou en Bus.

3. 3. Diálogos com a Sociedade Civil (DDS) de 16 a 19 de Junho em Rio
de Janeiro

O governo brasileiro propôs a Cúpula dos Povos participar do processo
chamado “Diálogo com a Sociedade Civil.” (DDS). O Grupo de articulação da
Cúpula dos Povos discorda com este processo e com a sua metodologia.Em
nossa avaliação o método estabelecido pelos DDS não recolhe esta dinâmica
de diálogo que temos tentado fazer avançar. A proposta dos DDS foi
estabelecida de cima para baixo, tendo o governo brasileiro escolhido os
temas, os participantes e os facilitadores, indicando de forma inequívoca
que os diálogos e seus resultados serão controlados pelo governo.
Participar desta dinâmica significa dar uma carta branca a “recomendações
da sociedade civil” sobre as quais não teríamos a mínima condição de
disputa por seus resultados. A Cúpula dos Povos na Rio+20 por Justiça
Social e Ambiental é um espaço autônomo, situado no campo crítico em
relação a agenda da conferência oficial e das corporações.

Rise up on May 12th, 2012 – We are the 99% #12m15m

On the 15th of October 2011 we took to the streets in over 1000 cities in 82 countries. We got organized and took the first steps on the road to dignity and global change. That was more than six months ago yet we continue to have to raise our voices to make politicians and bankers understand that they in no way represent us. We are united in our demands: the welfare of the 99% must be respected.

Governments only represent us if they follow the will of the vast majority, not just the privileged few.We are united, we are everywhere, we are where you least expect us.

We demand, firmly but without violence: social justice, wealth distribution and an ethic of commons. We condemn poverty, inequality, environmental devastation and corruption as tools of subjugation by the powerful on society.

We will not stop until we achieve our objectives: the 99% will take to the streets again and again until we have a say in the world in which we live. We want global change. Let’s turn the streets into the world’s biggest loudspeaker on the 12th of May.

Because we are the 99%, we are not owned by politicians and bankers. Take to the streets on May 12th!

Join us.

Updates from Portugal for #12m15m MAY12

There will be actions on the May12 in Porto, Coimbra, Santarém and Lisboa, and it seems that there are people in Évora already organizing something too. In Leiria, Braga, Aveiro, Faro and Vila Real is possible that someone or some group comes up with a demo, but I didn’t find any information yet.

There have been already two assemblies to prepare the May12 in Lisbon (in which several groups are participating and finally managing to work together!), one in Coimbra and another in Porto. This saturday there will be assemblies in Lisbon and Coimbra to (I hope) define the final plans (or almost) for the May12.

As soon as there are definitive information about the different protests I will let you know. For now, I leave here the link for the protest in Santarém: https://www.facebook.com/events/361011567273888/
GENERAL UPDATES FROM THE DIFFERENT PLACES
- Popular Assemblies
Besides of what is related to the Global May, there are regular popular assemblies in Porto (weekly), Coimbra (twice a week) and Lisbon (different groups gathering in different rhythms). In Lisbon there are also several neighbourhood assemblies.
- Protests and Other Actions
In this cities and in other cities, some actions happen but most of them are still small, except some actions that start happen which are related with the National Health System – this saturday there will be protests in several cities against the destruction of the National Health System.
- Occupied spaces
In Porto, there is a school that was abandoned more than 5 years ago. It was occupied last year (on April 10 it was the one-year anniversary) and it achieved amazing things: right now the community of the neighbourhood is participating in the activities of the occupation and also on the organization of everything, and the children play and receive free educational support in the school. This project is called “Es.Col.A. da Fontinha” (Es.Col.A. means Collectively Managed Space, Fontinha is the name of the neighbourhood) and the city hall is threatening to evict the space. It is possible that the eviction takes place already on this night.
This project is mobilizing many people on a national level because there is not really tradition of occupying abandoned places in Portugal. In the end of march there was a “Acampada Es.Col.A” in the place with some dozens of people of several portuguese cities and many more from Porto itself. If the eviction happens it is probable that people take the streets at a national level (I hope so!)
You can check the blog of the project at: http://escoladafontinha.blogspot.pt/
More occupations of abandoned buildings might happen in the near future in other cities, there are people working (or at least thinking) on that.
- Communitarian Gardens
I don’t know how exactly to call to this “spaces”, but let me explain: basically, its pieces of abandoned land occupied by activists and normal people to create places where everyone can cultivate to provide food for the communities. There is one that I know in Lisboa and at least one in Porto. In Coimbra very soon a public abandoned terrain will also be occupied with this goal.
In short, things are developing in a each day greater rhythm, although still not many people are involved. I would say that from several hundred to not much more than one thousand people are participating in these kind of dynamics in Portugal. But we hope that in May the movement will grow a lot and several acampadas will certainly happen with that goal.
Portugal is on for the May 12. Portugal is also struggling for another world!

This is a message for all committees of communication of Occupy/Occupii

We are the 99%.

The current distribution of economic resources is such that only the scarce minority escapes from poverty or daily uncertainty. Future generations are condemned to receive a poisoned heritage due to the enrionmental risks undertaken for the very few who profiteer. We demand social justice, we will not stand down in the defense of our rights. Our representatives have the obligation to be guided by our needs; they have to listen to us. Let’s turn the streets into the biggest loudspeaker on earth on May 12th.  Because we are the 99%, because we are not goods controlled by politicians and bankers. Let’s take the streets on May 12th.

 

As part of the Wgroup of Facilitation of the international meetings for action planning in May 2012 and at the same time as a member of the Action Alternatives and Solutions WG, I would like to share 4 info points:

Our next general meeting related to this subject will be held on Saturday March 17th at 19:00 UTC on the DRY’s mumble  http://mumble.democraciarealya.es/index.php?lang=en
You can access the minutes of the last meeting that took place last night through this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13k_-m4W3aZ3qrDVSZm53jrZxBpSPGcX…
All proposals presented so far by the assemblies have been organized in an schematic way and are available here : http://titanpad.com/proposalfor12and15May
NOTE: This pad will become a cute graveyard of excellent proposals if we neglect our responsibility to study them in our assemblies, that is the job of each one (as I understand it, and sorry if this sounded rough).3) Within this pad there are six or seven simple proposals to carry out in the three ****star days***  of the month of May.
On our last meeting we agreed to spread them, it is understood that it is responsibility of each person to carry out the task. Therefore I am doing my part!
- Return to camp in the squares the 12M or 15M
- Flashmob: standing still (or sitting down)  quietly for about 3 mins. in squares or public places –  in shopping centers, areas of bars, arenas, football stadiums and others but without obstructing the traffic.
-In contrast: Blockades of Public transport means and roads as a measure of pressure, stopping normal traffic
-Alternative to the demonstration 12M Global:  reappropriation of public space
- Actions of civil disobedience: do not pay the meter, not paying at the supermarket,  for water, gas or light, which is compatible with civil disobedience actions in the internet.
- Send mass emails/tweets individually with a single short sentence to a global target
- “MEMORY Action” To produce a documentary or other summaries (pamphlets, posters, collage) Recalling the achievements so far attained by each assembly> region> countryThis list is not an imposition, but only suggestions. They are proposals that came out of assemblies and are now returning to them as queries to satisfy transparency and horizontality.
We hold regular WG meetings (details below) where we can answer questions and receive comments / contributions.
An example of how they are working in Madrid: http://actasmadrid.tomalaplaza.net/?p=3078

SUPPORT OF OUR PERU RUNAKUNAS (INDIGNANT COMRADES)

PT  ES  FR
In response to the state of emergency imposed by the Peruvian government to protect an unviable mining project “Conga”, in breach of fundamental human rights, and environmental policies of the Peruvian people in Cajamarca. Indignant runakuna demonstrating in Cajamarca (Perú) “Conga NO! Life and water are worth more than gold”

The indignant movement has spread worldwide struggling to protect and vindicate the rights and public spaces of the citizens, as social actors of change and of direct political participation, against the greed and economic interests of a few who have established “policies” of anti-social injustice. The movement is present in every corner of the world and it claims global demands without forgetting the particularities of each context. Thus, the indignation caused by the Conga, unfeasible mining megaproject, has led to the Peruvian citizens to
manifest peacefully against the implementation thereof.

The government’s response to the protests has been to declare, without legal basis, a state of emergency to repress the people (siege), This intrusion of the military seeking to protect the private interests of Newmont Mining, a transnational corporation and ignoring the people’s voice, who claim “we are not commodities in the hands of politicians, bankers and transnational companies” and “our livelihood is not for sale, it is to be protected”

According to the International Criminal Court, a crime against humanity is “violence to life, health and physical or mental well-being of persons, as part of a widespread or systematic attack against any civilian population” by, for example declaring siege, without a legal justification.

Thus, the interference of the military to enforce the command from the executive management of the Peruvian state (state of emergency) infringes any legal basis and the fundamental rights of the citizens of Cajamarca, by restricting the freedom of the indignant, who demonstrated peacefully, upraising against the violation of their rights and livelihoods and the imposition of a mining mega-project, which at all levels puts the population at risk.

This is a project that only benefits the interests of a transnational that corrupts
politicians in order to make profits. Activities of Newmont Mining Corporation
company are known worldwide, their mining practices more than once have
been related to serious harm to entire populations and the environment, causing irreparable damages.

https://www.facebook.com/notes/jaime-chihuala/destrucci%C3%B3n-de-las-condiciones-de-vida-en-yanacocha- crimen-ecol%C3%B3gico-y-de-lesa-h/228696983869699)
(http://notasdesdelenovo.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/
estado-de-emergencia-y-quiebra-de-dialogo-muestran-distancia-entre-lima-y-cajamarca/).

There are several releases that have declared the existence of deficiencies in both the Conga project reports, studies and possible physical processes or gravimetry, as well as water resources management and analysis of predictive mathematical models. In adition, the nomination and application of molecular biology technology and genetic manipulation of bacteria to turn the tailings innocuous – called disruptive technologies-, described by some “interested” advocates who defend this particular type of mining projects, lack of any scientific and technical support. It is known from studies issued in Canada, that there is no technology able to mitigate, reduce and nullify the harmful environmental effects of using 10 or more tons / day of explosives, which releases toxic gases and acids characteristic of the explosion, and other noxious “gases that have been trapped for centuries in the innards of the
earth (and) that are released into the atmosphere abruptly.” And the tailings ponds, subjected to control and manipulation by the miners, always have poor monitoring of the institutions of state, and they don’t get the treatment that should be applied to the neutralization according to the rules and procedures, to avoid as far as possible pollution of fresh water sources in the area of intervention.

(http://biodiversidadla.org/Principal/Contenido/DocumentoS/Peru_cabeceras_de_cuenca_en_Cajamarca_Por_que_debemos_defenderlas_y_protegerlas#.TtrZSI7zDCV.facebook ).

It is noteworthy that the Conga project is an open pit mining project in the headwaters of a watershed, which feeds at least five water systems. The resulting pollution seriously endangers the health of the people, the environment, and agricultural and business activity in the area, potentially causing drying and disappearance of 4 lakes.

On the other hand, it is important to note that, unlike other countries, environmental impact studies that are based on extractive projects in Peru are not approved by the Ministry of Environment, and “are performed by consultants hired and paid by the stakeholder companies”, “thereby subtracting credibility to the subject matter hereof and lacking scientific
value”. In the present case, the preparation of the EIA is carried out by consulting closely linked to the Yanacocha mine, who has been causing irreversible damage to the town of Cajamarca for the last 17 years.

These studies do not meet the satisfactory conditions to embody serious reports by UNOPS and OEFA, among UN and allow the violation of fundamental rights protected by the Peruvian Constitution (Art. 38 º, 45 º, 51 º and 138 º 2nd paragraph of the Constitution) that are outlined as follows:

- Thy do not guarantee effectively the right to an adequate and balanced environment that is contained in art. 2.22 of the Constitution. There is no sustainable economic demarcation, or consideration of the OEFA, thus violating a possible balanced development, conservation, and prevention of risks, not concreted specifically in the current design of the EIA approval. (STC Exp. Nº 3510-2003-AA, f.j. 2.e y Exp. Nº 0048-2004-PI f.j. 18)

There is a basic incompatibility with the fundamental right to promote and
ensure a balanced environment, a right recognized in Article 44 of the Constitution.

-

- The Peruvian government shows not interest in removing the legal and illegal obstacles that prevent the exercise of fundamental rights and environmental matters, held in Article 2 of the American Convention on Human Rights and developed by American Court of Human Rights (Court HR) “and in Article 67 of the Constitution, which requires the Peruvian government to develop a national policy on risk management and environmental care”.

- They do not give rise to any agreement by consulting the people involved,
contravention with the ILO 169.

There is no amount of money that can compensate the damage caused, or the consequences and diseases caused to the population. The –so called- development that wants to be sold to the citizens is an attempt to disguise the real interest directly towards their private assets, diminishing the real possibilities the population to have access to their own resources.

The indignant movement demands a real democracy in which the affairs of the state, that are within its competence, are taken into account through consultation or referendum, so that public participation is effective, and plausible and recognized consensus is achieved, fed from the collective intelligence and democratic participation. Only then the citizens can protect
both their public rights and their right to protect themselves, nurture and maintain their livelihoods and environment. It is mandatory that the people’s voice is taken into account and gets back the power to react against any state contract with transnational companies that seek their own interests, because the population is not a tool for projects that are not viable and pretend to run at the expense and to detriment of the people.

“We shall not allow the economic power of a few, like Newmont Mining Corporatioon, control everything in Cajamarca, including availing itself of the Peruvian army and airports to defend and monitor their economic greed-laden purposes.”

International movement of indignant, Legal Team International.

Mining Yanacocha and the environmental damages.

According to the WHO report that accounts for the presence of heavy metals in living organisms (plants, animals and humans), and the significant pollution that exists, causing various diseases irreversible to entire populations around
the mine. Contamination of the water supply and groundwater in the Yanacocha mining area.
