BARCELONA #15M Newsletter nr 45

Hello from Barcelona,

This is the (almost) weekly newsletter that will inform you about the activities of 15M movement in Barcelona, Catalonia and occasionally the main events in Spain. If you do not wish to receive it anymore, please say so.

1. “We are not back, we never left” – #12M15M
2. Madrid wants a public health care system. Almost a million votes prove it
3. A Paper Tiger to be read: a cooperative publishing house

1. “WE ARE NOT BACK, WE NEVER LEFT” – #12M15M

On May 12th Spanish people took the streets again in dozens of cities.
This call has been a kind of celebration of the #15M movement, born in Spain 2 years ago. London, Brussels, Dublin and other cities around the world also celebrated the 15M’s second anniversary in the streets. Barcelona had announced  five days of action (see NL#44, 3) to celebrate two years of working together.

After the press conference on the 10th,  the square was filled on May 11th with several conferences, debates and information points. Some of the working groups took the chance to launch their campaigns for the next months. (#11M15M , #12M15M)

On May 12th the camp in Barcelona ended to give way to a theater play and a performance by Che Sudaka. Soon after the demonstration started under the slogan “Stop the financial genocide”. After the demo, a building in the old town was occupied with the support of over a hundred people from the demo, but it was evicted early in the morning two days after. As the coordinators of #Okupem12Msquat had planned lots of activities, they are carrying them out in the streets and squares nearby ( #Yovoy12M #12MBcn, #Razones12M, #okupem12M).

On the days that followed, decentralized actions were programmed:

On May 13th Iaioflautas did the action #IaiosPaBoi against Boi Ruiz, the health care minister for the local government Generalitat of Catalunya, who is responsible of the privatization and the budget cuts in Catalonia.

On May 14th, in Catalunya square, the campaign against the Generalitat’s budgets started with #AturemElsPresupostos a debate on economy and debt. It was the starting point for a longer campaign whose aim is to stop the approval of the 2013 budgets for the Catalan government (#JuntesPodem).

On May 15th, the official anniversary, the police attacked many strategic points.They tried to cut the water supply in a building occupied by the PAH in Salt, Girona (#blocsalt). Can Piella (see NL#29 ,2 ), already aware of a possible eviction, stood strong for over six hours but was finally raided by police (#SOSCanPiella). Their reaction was to have two people abseiling from a building (property of those responsible for the eviction) with huge banners. After the eviction, a spontaneous demo blocked an important highway (AP7). In Sabadell, the Libertarian Ateneu was also raided and searched by the police, with other raids in homes of people associated with the libertarian or anarchist movement. Five people were arrested and accused of terrorism, now still in jail (#Ateneullibertari#5anarquistasBCN).

Three actions were carried out:
In the morning, the group Reflectantes did an action where, during the #BancaRuta tour along several banks, activists explained people why it’s a good idea to close their bank accounts; 3 accounts were closed and celebrations carried out next to the bank offices (#el15cierratucuenta).  An “escrache” (see NL#42, 2) against Boi Ruiz in the afternoon, announced as #BoiDeEscrache, was organized by the health care working group PARS (Platform of afected by public health system cuts, see NL#9, 3  ), while under the call #habitatgepertothom a building with 32 apartments was occupied in the Nou Barris neighbourhood to hand it over to the evicted families. This building has been object of a negociation iwht the Town Hall and, after meeting an agreement, it shall be abandoned with the condition that the District will provide 30 immediate homes for evicted families and eventually another 100 low-rent homes by agreements with banks who have empty buildings.

The month continues very rich in political and civil activism: people are getting stronger and are focusing more clearly on their objective and organizing themselves, many new collectives have been created since the last anniversary. It seems that the change is on its way, even if it is a quite large and dangerous one.

2. MADRID WANTS A PUBLIC HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. ALMOST A MILLION VOTES PROVE IT

Some time ago the demonstrations that filled public spaces were enough for a government to rectify. When the demonstrations were very numerous, governments even resigned.

For years, public health workers have been demonstrating in the streets against the government’s privatization policy. But the government, instead of correcting or giving up their pretentions of privatizing public health, continues to change the laws to goon with their eagerness to privatize public health.

In the week of May 10th to 15th a popular consultation was held outside public hospitals and municipalities of Madrid. The topic of the consultation was to express a preference on the healthcare system’s future: public or private?

Organizers are defined on their website as “Health Care employees”Marea Blanca (White Tide), and several citizen groups participating in organizations and grassroots movements.

The popular referendum’s result yields the following numbers: in six days 935,794 people have voted in 103 municipalities. The question was: Are you in favor of a universal, high quality, public-run healthcare system and against privatization and the laws that allow it?

  • 929,903, 99.4%, answered YES
  • 3,558, 0.4%, voted NO
  • 1,454, 0.2% have voted blank
  • 879 null votes, 0.1%

After these results it is clear that the population of Madrid does not agree with the government’s privatization plan for public health. On the other hand, it’s a democratic paradox that not the government, but healthcare workers are the ones who organize this consultation.

A good example of how the citizenship wants to have a voice on political decisions, and people know not only how to participate, but how to organize in a participative democracy. So, what is this Government for?

3. A “PAPER TIGER” TO BE READ: A COOPERATIVE PUBLISHING HOUSE

The publishing house Tigre de paper (Paper Tiger)  is a cultural project, forming part of the cooperative Cultura21 (Culture 21). it is a starting point for developing critical thought, building collective identity and promoting catalan literature.

 Tigre de paper belongs to a movement that motivates a critical and collective change and books give both practical and theorical tools for the revolution: the publications (essays, novels and biographies) cover political and social themes, with the idea that “without revolutionary theories there is no revolutionary practice”. They are actually against the “art and culture industry”, which in the publishing field is dominated by few corporations controlling  the contents and thus controlling the collective imaginary, manipulating thought in a easy, silent way. They would prefer selling “instant emotions” to producing intellectual, critical work on the social, educational and global situation.

A book club called La Bandada de les lletres (The flock of letters) has been created  in order to promote and support the publsher. It’s a reader community actively involved in reviews, discussion and diffusion of the publications, building together what they call a tiger of popular culture. The website’s structure allows to easily disseminate articles and educational materials. The subscription to the club is free.

All the books are CC (Creative Common Licence) , available to be bought both online and offline in several bookshops.

Blockupy Frankfurt May 30th – June 1st 2013

Blockupy is back: In May 2012, activists gathered in the banking area
of Frankfurt to protest against the austerity politics of the German
government and the Troika (EU, ECB, IMF). From May 30th to June 1st
2013 we will return for European action days in the heart of the
European authoritarian crisis regime in Frankfurt/Main.

At the headquarters of the European Central Bank (ECB), we will send a
powerful signal of solidarity with all those affected by the curent
politiics of austerity and cuts.

As a symbol of struggle against austerity rule we will organise mass
blockades of the ECB in Frankfurt on May 31st. We will move on to
actions in a “second wave” in the late morning to other protagonists
of the crisi. Or aim on May 31st is to visibly disturb the usual
business proceedings of the ECB as well as other protagonists of the
crisis regime.

On June 1st, the European action day, we call for a large
international demonstration, together with many thousands of people
from all over Europe.

meeting point for Blockupy. On Thursday, May 30th, we, activists and
affinity groups, will gather there and prepare the actions together.

The only route to real democracy – A precise strategic proposal

Several popular movements around the world are beginning an important rethinking about democracy and power. Origins and causes of protests are unemployment, poverty and fight against austerity, but yet the thoughts go further and fight the problems by attacking their roots: we live in oligarchies. However in the media and in the everyday life, we can hear that an immense majority of people is attached to democracy (but too often simply confused with freedom of speech). Democracy has a very strong power. As it has been “promoted” by the states since a long time ago to obtain legitimacy, it is deeply supported by people independently of the political spectrum. But while actual states rely on fake democracies (representative democracies), which are more and more criticized, the political alternative has to be constructed around a real democracy project.

Right or Left? Only the non-partisan camp can support democracy.

An efficient strategy has to be chosen to maximise the chances of real democracies to appear. First thing to be done is to allow a massive union of people around the new project, and on this point it is clear that economy is not a point of convergence. Medias and states have so manipulated the minds that there is no big majorities about an economic agenda.

Do we have to open or to close borders? What should be the role of the state?

In the same way, in my view, the left/right partisan rift is doomed to fail. Traditional parties counter creativity and change, and their past makes them divisive. For a new economic system to emerge, real debates will have to take place and to be followed by appropriate action, but today it is not the case, as our political systems do not allow that debates.

The proposal that will lead to a new political (and then economical) order, in favour of the people, has therefore to be cleared of partisan elements and to propose only a real democracy. This proposal has not to be abstract but very precise, in order to make secure the project, to avoid counter actions with oligarchic aims, and to obtain general trust.

Here is just an example of proposal, to show how I think the future of all the popular movements have to converge into a political force being able to reverse the current systems with a practical alternative. The question about which means and methods to use, to impose this agenda to the minority actually in power (and which will lose a lot), is still open (should an international party be created and enter election games? should mass protest reverse the institutions when critical mass is reached?). However, the practical agenda I propose is more based on a legal access to power (short transition with ancient political system form).

Why constitution, why sortition?

Constitution is central to political systems; it is mainly aimed to define power. Who make the new laws? What powers have citizens? How are chosen deputies? What are their obligations?

We do not know yet what the new constitution will be (even though it could be possible to define a new constitution first, and then to support and empower it), but what is crucial is that a constitution has not to be written by the politicians, or they will write their own rules, and so be able to take advantage of the situation. That is why sortition is supported in this article, as a way to avoid conflicts of interests. On that question, I recommend this video

A precise democratic political agenda

As soon as the new political movement is empowered, two people (to reduce the risk of corruption and betrayal, people randomly drawn from the actors involved in the movement for a long time) substitute each of the high functions previously in place (Presidency, Ministers .. with a salary equal to two times the minimum wage), to ensure the stability of the political transition, and during the 2-6 months period, time for the new constitution adoption and the new political system establishment.

One week after the takeover, during 2 days, every citizen has the opportunity to choose (by putting their names in polling stations) two men and two women they thinks being able and helpful to participate in the Constituent Assemblies (CAs) for a 1 to 6 months period. The members of the CAs will receive compensation equal to 2 times the minimum wage and insurance to return to work after the mandate.

2 weeks after this selection, the draw is held to determine the members of the 2 CAs (200 people each). Assemblies (located in the ancient assemblies locations if revolution has taken place, or working elsewhere if traditional parliamentarians are still present – but useless), working in cooperation (on different things and then analysing and criticizing each other’s proposals, some of their members are attached to present arguments and ideas of citizens from outside, by internet for example) and transparency (filmed and broadcasted sessions) have one month to work and propose a new constitution.

A referendum on the new constitution is conducted 2 weeks later, the citizens have the opportunity to indicate which parts of the proposal they refuse and why. If all constitution’s articles are more than 50% accepted, it shall enter into force as soon as possible (ancient system replacement, ignoring legal remedies, make ancient politicians resign…) If some parts are refused, CAs back to work for a week, and a new referendum is held on the new articles and changes. In that new referendum, people can choose if they want the new constitution to be activated even though some articles are not primarily accepted (if 60% or more choose that option, the new constitution is accepted even if the newly modified articles are still not mainly supported), and so on until the adoption of the new constitution. The new political system that democratically emerges will then be able to resolve all issues, particularly economic and social ones, which have not found real answers now because our political system give the power to the people defending particular interests.*

*This example is lacking reflection about how to make sure that ancient political system members will not conduct a coup, how to “govern” the country during the transition period (should transitioners trust the police and the army? Should another force be created?), is 1 month a fair duration to write a new constitution? Who will analyse the referendum results?

BARCELONA #15M Newsletter nr 44

Hello from Barcelona,

This is the (almost) weekly newsletter that will inform you about the activities of 15M movement in Barcelona, Catalonia and occasionally the main events in Spain. If you do not wish to receive it anymore, please say so.

1. Universities’ disobedience goes on for the future of public University
2. Citizen-managed cultural center: Ateneu de Nou Barris
3. Actions and activities marathon on the square and the streets: 10M-15M 

 

1. UNIVERSITIES’ DISOBEDIENCE GOES ON FOR THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC UNIVERSITY (#WeDisobey17A/#Desobeïm17A)

On April 17th several direct actions took place in different university campuses as a call for disobience. While there were protests on the campus of the UPC ( Politechnich university of Catalonia ), the hall of the historical building on University Square at the UB (University of Barcelona) was taken by students to block a meeting of the Government Council of the University, which was going to approve cuts on human resources and on a number of faculties, departments and even students. During the afternoon of the 17th, the UPF ( Pompeu Fabra University ) held a protest to block a meeting and a conference of the Rector and the Ex-Minister Miguel Ángel Moratinos. It was heavily supressed by the police. At the UAB Autonomous University of Barcelona ) campus of Bellaterra, a half-an-hour train ride from Barcelona, the rectorate was indefinitely occupied by students. Two days later a few teachers and workers joined the sit-in.

All of the protests happened for the same reason:

Universities have been struggling for a long time with precarious work and the mercantilization of knowledge (See NL #41,1 ). More than 350 workers (teachers, administration and services) are going to be fired in the UPC alone. There is hope though: The pressure of students, teachers and workers acting together lead to the resignal of the Rector on April 25th.

The PUDUP (United Platform for the Defense of Public University) went to the home of the conciliour of Economy and Knowledge (on which Universities depend) Andreu Mas-Colell on April 24th to perform an Escrache (see NL#42,2 ), and the UAB rectorate is still occupied. Universities attended, as well, the demonstration on April 28th to protest against the budgets which are going to be approved at the Catalan Parliament, which could represent cuts around 3.4 billion euros. The demonstration united 80,000 people from several platforms of public services, 15M activists and neighbourhood associations.

The budgets are being discussed these days in the Catalan Parliament, while on the streets the movilization grows, specially among the public sector. All campuses together, with the involvement of professors, workers and students, are answering to that threat.

2. CITIZEN-MANAGED CULTURAL CENTER: ATENEU DE NOU BARRIS

The Ateneu de Nou Barris is a popular cultural center born from the determination of neigbours in Nou Barris, Barcelona, to have a home for cultural projects in the neighbourhood. Although 60% of its expenses is covered with public money, the Ateneu is self-managed by the neighbours in a horizontal, democratic way through what they call citizen management, with an association called El Bidó de Nou Barris: they are organized in several commissions, as is typical in this kind of management, and they are based on volunteer work.

The Ateneu’s cultural, artistic, social and educational activities are carried out to improve creativity, participation, solidarity and social cohesion among people. Its aim is to potentiate the creation of a non-mercantilistic and socially committed perspective, supporting  young creation and the emerging of cultures and cooperation. As it is within the Xarxa de Fàbriques de Creació de Barcelona (Barcelona Art Factories Network), it offers artistic spaces such as a theater and rehearsal rooms.

Following the tradition of alternative circus workshops in Barcelona, the Ateneu collaborates with La Central del Circ (The Circus Central), a space of creation and training for Circus professionals. There is even a circus school focusing on the differently-abled and children. Among their activities there are initiation workshops for the Social Circus and a special class for teenagers.

On May 4th-5th,  “La Cultura Va de Festa” (Culture goes partying) hosts days of concerts, circuses, artistic performances, flee markets, and workshops. The event is organized by the Ateneu and the Nou Barris cultural coordinator.

The survival of centers like this is at risk these days due to cutbacks in social programs and culture budgets. Culture is under attack by being subjected to the condition of giving profit, the horrendous idea that if something does not make money then it it is not valuable. Our communties are of more value than euros.

3. ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES MARATHON ON THE SQUARE AND THE STREETS:  10M-15M

May 15th marks two years from the demonstration which triggered the acampadas. A group of people, coming from different collectives, are meeting every two weeks, since February 23rd, in Parc de la Ciutadella to coordinate the different actions and activities that will take place from May 10th to 15th.

Right now the agreements they have reached are:

  • There is going to be a permanent assembly on Catalunya square from May 10th to May 12th. Several collectives and neighbourhood associations are going to have a stand there to share information.
  • Conferences on the problems Public Health cuts are bringing, on the huge scam the Debt is, on banksters… are going to take place on the 11th and 12th and universities are going to organise lectures on the street on the 14th.
  • On May 11th a big assembly will take place at the end of the day
  • On May 12th there is a call for a demonstration in most big cities in Spain. In Barcelona, it is going to start at 18h in Plaça Catalunya. Neighbourhood assemblies will march in big columns from their main squares. It will start with a theatre performance and several actions are expected during the demonstration and at the end of it. The slogan will be: “Let’s stop financial genocide, together we can!” (Aturem el genocidi financer, juntes podem).
  • The following three days, decentralized actions by the different collectives and neighbourhood assemblies are going to happen all over the city.

Finally, as through 2 years of actions make activists feel like a family, the 3 main spaces in the Square will be named after 3 dear fellow activists who died this last year. This will make them be once again with us all, fighting for a better society.

After the declaration “Lampedusa in Berlin” (interview to Bashir: https://vimeo.com/65158161 and to Ousmane: https://vimeo.com/65158162) made by refugees from the protest camp in Kreuzberg/Berlin, refugees in Hamburg who come from the same background adopted the declaration On the first of May they started a first public appearence during the nationwide church day in Hamburg. At 6 p.m. a group of more than 50 refugees gathered with banners and leaflets in the habour at a place where a part of the church day program takes place. They informed the public about their situation and called for solidarity. On Friday 3rd of May from 10 am the whole day the refugee group together with the “caravan for the rights of refugees and migrants” and the leftists from “atesh” will exercise a programm with information material and film screening and people to people talks during the whole day. The place where you can meet us that day is Sandtorkai (Hafencity) in Front of the MS Anton (refugee boat project).
We invited the public and the media for critical awareness. We hope that from side of the churches in Hamburg will come out a clear signal against the catastrophic situation, the people are thrown into. The refugees are determined to join the germanwide refugee movement for self-determination and freedom.
below the declaration in english, german, french

Die Erklärung “Lampedusa in Berlin” (interview to Bashir: https://vimeo.com/65158161 and to Ousmane: https://vimeo.com/65158162), die von Flüchtlingen des Protestcamps in Berlin-Kreuzberg veröffentlicht wurde, übernahmen Flüchtlinge in Hamburg, die aus der gleichen Situation kommen. Sie begannen heute, am ersten Mai, ihren ersten Auftritt in der Öffentlichkeit während des bundesweiten Kirchentages in Hamburg. Um 18 Uhr versammelte sich eine Gruppe von mehr als 50 Flüchtlingen mit Transparenten und Flugblättern im Hamburger Hafen, an dem Platz, wo ein Teil des Kirchtag-Programms stattfindet. Sie informierten die Öffentlichkeit und riefen zur Solidarität auf. Am 3. Mai von 10 Uhr morgens an wird die Gruppe der Flüchtlinge zusammen mit der KARAWANE und der linken Gruppe “atesh” den ganzen Tag über, Informationen verteilen, Filmdokumentationen zeigen und Gespräche führen. Der Platz, wo ihr uns treffen könnt ist: Sandtorkai (Hafencity) direkt vor der MS Anton (Flüchtlingsboot-Projekt).
Wir laden die Öffentlichkeit und die Medien zu kritischer Aufmersamkeit ein. Wir hoffen auf ein klares Signal der Hamburger Kirchen gegen die katastrophale Situation, in die die Menschen gestürzt wurden. Die Flüchtlinge sind entschlossen, sich der bundesweiten Flüchtlingsbewegung für Selbstbestimmung und Freiheit anzuschließen.
unten die Erklärung in englisch, deutsch und französisch

Lampedusa in Hamburg:
“We’re here and we don’t go back”

We are the Refugees coming from Italy with international protection but no rights. We survived the NATO bombings and the civil war in Libya, to be homeless in Italy.

Thousands of us are now in Germany in the same conditions: no housing, no access to social help, no access to the job market. We demand a political solution: “We are here and we don’t go back!”. We want the right to make a living here in Germany.

If we had found possible conditions in Italy we would stay there. There was no possibility to handle anymore. Italian government in the beginning of 2013 closed the programs of reception – the so-called Emergency North Africa – throwing the people basically on the street. 400-500 euro were given to each refugee with the suggestion to go away. Where? To northern Europe.

The problem is now on a european level being Germany one of the most powerful states, decision maker for the migrations and asylum policies in Europe. The Dublin System – with the rule that the Refugees “belong” to the first country in Europe they arrive – is aimed to deny the right of the Refugees to choose where they want to live. The same ideology that’s behind the Residenzpflicht.
We join the struggle the Refugees in Germany are bringing forwards since almost 20 years within the german asylum system. The fight is one.

We demand our rights as recognized refugees:
- the Dublin system must be ended
- housing, social and medical care
- working permit and access to education

Here in Hamburg we were accomodated in a camp for homeless people during the winter period.
This camp was closed beginning of April and we were pushed to the streets again. Our actual situation is catastrophic.
We don’t want to live in the streets and forced to street prostitution, drug dealing or other criminal acts.

We unite, call for solidarity and demand our rights!

Lampedusa in Hamburg:
„Wir sind hier und gehen nicht zurück“

Wir sind Flüchtlinge aus Italien mit Internationalem Schutz aber ohne Rechte. Wir haben die NATO-Bombardierungen und den Bürgerkrieg in Libyen überlebt und wurden in Italien zu Obdachlosen.

Tausende von uns sind nun in Deutschland unter den gleichen Bedingungen – keine Unterkunft, keine soziale Unterstützung und keine Arbeitserlaubnisse.
Wir fordern eine politische Lösung: „Wir sind hier und wir gehen nicht zurück!“. Wir fordern unser Recht, unser Leben in Deutschland aufzubauen.

Wenn wir in Italien Überlebensmöglichkeiten gefunden hätten, würden wir dort bleiben. Es gab keine Möglichkeit mehr, dort zu bleiben. Die Italienische Regierung schloss Anfang des Jahres 2013 das „Nothilfeprogramm Nordafrika“ (Emergency North Africa). Wir wurden praktisch auf die Strasse gesetzt. 400-500 Euro wurden jedem Flüchtling gegeben und gesagt, dass wir das Land verlassen sollen. Wohin? Nach Nordeuropa.

Das Problem ist nun auf europäischer Ebene mit Deutschland als einem der mächtigsten Staaten und Entscheidungsmacher in der europäischen Migrations- und Asylpolitik. Das Dublin-System mit der Regelung, dass Flüchtlinge dem Land der ersten Ankunft „gehören“, zielt auf die Verweigerung der Flüchtlingsrechte frei über ihren Aufenthaltsort zu entscheiden. Es entspringt der gleichen Logik wie die Residenzpflicht.

Wir schließen uns dem Kampf, den Flüchtlinge in Deutschland seit fast 20 Jahren gegen das Deutsche Asylsystem führen, an. Der Kampf ist der gleiche.

Wir fordern unsere Rechte als anerkannte Flüchtlinge:
- Das Dublin-System muss beendet werden
- Unterkunft, soziale und medizinische Versorgung
- Arbeitserlaubnis und Bildungszugang

Hier in Hamburg kamen wir über den Winter in einer Obdachlosenunterkunft der Stadt unter. Diese wurde Anfang April geschlossen und wir erneut auf die Strasse gesetzt. Unsere Lage ist katastrophal.
Wir wollen nicht auf der Strasse leben, zu Strassenprostitution gezwungen oder in Drogengeschäfte oder andere kriminelle Machenschaften gezogen werden.

Wir schließen uns zusammen, rufen zu Solidarität und fordern unsere Rechte!

Des milliers sont actuellement en allemagne dans la meme cituation sans maison et sans acces aux aides sociales, sans acces au marcher du travail. Nous demandons une solution politique: Nous somme ici et nous ne retournerons pas. Nous voudrions le droit de vivre ici en allemagne.

Si nous avions trouve des conditions possibles en italie nous devrions rester laba. Mais il n´y avait pas de possibilite de s´occuper plus de nous.Le gouvernement iltalien au debut de l´annee 2013 a ferme le programme d´accueil appeler Urgence Nord afrique- en poussant dans les rues moyennant une somme entre 400- 500 euro respectif aux refugies et en les suggerant d´aller hors . Oú? Dans les autres pays du nords de l´europe.

Le probleme se trouve maintenant au niveau d´un des plus puissant pays europen decideur et faiseur de lois sur l´immigration et la politique d´asile en europe.Le systeme du Dubin avec les regles que les refugies appartiennent au premier pays d´accueil face au denie de droit aux refugies de choisir oú ils veulent vivrent .la meme ideologie d´une residence surveillee., nous joignons les efforts des refugies ici en allemagne depuis 20 ans.

Nous demandons nos droits en nous considerant comme des refugies:

- le systeme du Dubin doit etre termine.
- Maison sociale et aux soins medicaux
- acces aux pemit de travail et a l´education

Ici a Hamburg nous etions confiner dans un centre de fortune durant la periode hivernale. Ce camp etait ferme au debut avril et nous somme jete de nouveaux dans les rues actuellement notre situation est tres catastrophique . Nous ne voulons pas vivre dans la rue forcer a la prostitution aux trafiques de drogues et autre acte de criminalite.
Nous unit, appel a la solidarite et exiger notre droit

International Call to Participate in Blockupy 2013 in Frankfurt May 30th to June 1st and other struggles against the Troika

From the crisis’ edges to the power’s core

Everywhere we resist and revolt against the crisis and its governance, we put strength in living struggles and conflicts, and on these pillars we build and weave a new Europe that is born from grassroots.

The Europe we live in, far from the noble thoughts that might have inspired it once upon a time, has been built by a top-down process, driven by pacts and agreements among governments. This has taken place within the framework of neo-liberal ideology, under strong pressure to please financial markets and companies. The result is the concentration of power in the hands of a few institutions, themselves the direct expression of governments which claim to be ‘ours’.

Every real direct involvement and expression of people has progressively been avoided as much as possible. And will be even more so in the future, when national parliaments will simply be increasingly “informed” about what are the needed and mandatory decisions and country-specific measures to be taken.

The governance that the Troika enforces is rude and brutal, based on austerity imposed upon our lives, privatizations of the commons, cuts on social spending and solidarity, tight control and barbarous oppression of migrants.

In this framework, there is no possible compromise with the power that is shaping and driving the governance of crisis in Europe.

The only way out we see is a direct, diffuse, widespread and autonomous social opposition that rises up from grassroots, that not only speaks up furiously against that governance but that also fiercely builds effective conflicts and shared and common alternatives at all levels – from the local to the European.

We think it’s time, respecting the autonomy of specific local movements, to weave and organize a network of struggles that resists and takes back to the people what is being swept away: basic income and social care, houses, basic common goods like water, energy and transportation, high-quality knowledge, labour and social rights, the freedom of movement, and, in general, the possibility to achieve dignity and freedom in life.

This is how we intend to actually blockupy this Europe and to rebuild our Europe from the grassroots: through living struggles and conflicts that are open, viral and mutant; social practices that can be invented, replicated and run by all of us.

The Europe we imagine is not the institutionally-constrained, geographically-bordered region that is usually meant. We think of Euro-Mediterranean Europe, instead, as an entity defined by the common and diverse struggles taking place against that same rude and brutal enforcement of neo-liberalism. It means a new topography of struggles, from Western Europe to the Balkan regions, from Eastern Europe to the whole South-Mediterranean area, considering the ‘Arab springs’ as a living part of the constituent process we look for.

We all now live at the edge of the neo-liberal Europe. Our life has been made as such: constantly in crisis, constantly at the desperation’s edge.

We don’t want to make it anymore. We want our life back, our dignity back. We want our future back, since life without a future is worth nothing.

So we call from all over Europe, people that are struggling, people who want to struggle, people who want to tread on kings to march at the core of power and be counted. The public discourse must be twisted from the tracks of acquiescence, the chance of taking action everywhere is now being connected on a general European level.

So we’ll be in Frankfurt from May 30th to June 1st, taking part in the action days to block the ECB.

So we’ll be in Frankfurt to give strength and body, in thousands and thousands, to the struggle against the crisis, the Troika, against those that shaped this Europe that we do not want anymore. All those who want to deprive us of what makes life worth living, what we want, we need, we deserve, must go away.

Que se vayan todos!

It’s a matter of love, dignity and rage.

 

Save the dates:

  • We will meet along the week of action around the second anniversary of 15M
  • In Frankfurt for BLOCKUPY (30th of May to 1st of June)
  • For decentralized international protests on June 1st gathered by the alliance“Peoples united Against the Troika”/”Que Se Lixe a Troika”
  • In Athens for the AlterSummit (7th to 9th of June)
  • And every time in all the local struggles for our goal: Blockupying Europe.

Peoples united Against the Troika: international call for 1st June 2013

[GER below]

Peoples united Against the Troika: International Protest on the 1st of June 

 
Europe is under a violent attack by the financial capital, represented by the troika (IMF, ECB, EC) and by the successive governments that apply concerted policies with these entities, despising and destroying the people. We know that this offensive is set on breaking the peoples, rendering them slaves of debt and austerity. This offensive crosses Europe and it must be defeated by an international struggle. 
 
Each one of us, in each country, in each city, in each house, with our own specificities, feels directly the measures that annihilate the rights conquered throughout the decades, measures which aggravate unemployment, privatize everything that can make a profit and repel the countries’ sovereignties under the propaganda of “external help”. It is urgent that we join forces to fight-off this attack. 
 
The appeal we launched for a decentralized international protest has circulated through dozens of movements in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany and Slovenia. Several international activists, from different European countries, were present In a meeting on the 26th of April, in Lisbon, where this international proposal was discussed. 
 
In the end, we reached a consensus to launch an international protest for the next 1st of June, under the motto “Peoples United Against the Troika!”. 
 
This is the beginning of a decentralized, inclusive and participatory process. We wish to build it collectively, joining all forces available. Henceforth, the date of the 1st of June will be spread on a European scale, and we urge everyone to join this international protest against the troika and against austerity… for the peoples to take control of their lives. 
 
We urge all citizens, with or without party, with or without a job, with or without hope, to join us. We urge all political organizations, social movements, unions, parties, collectives, informal groups, to join us. 
 
We wish to continue to broaden our contacts, both nationally and internationally, for we are aware that only the sum of our voices can stop the new waves of austerity that are being prepared. The peoples of Europe have demonstrated in several moments that they’re not available for more sacrifices, in the name of a future that will never come. The time has come for a massive demonstration of the capacity of these peoples to coordinate the struggle against these policies. 
 
From the North to the South of Europe, let us take the streets against austerity!

Aufruf aus Lissabon für den 1. Juni 2013
Bevölkerungen vereint gegen die Troika: Internationaler Protest am 1. Juni 2013

Am 28. April 2013 fand in Lissabon ein Treffen statt, auf dem sich AktivistInnen aus europäischen Ländern wie Portugal, Spanien, Griechenland, Italien, Frankreich und Schottland versammelten.

Wir haben den folgenden Appell ausgearbeitet:

Europa ist unter einer gewalttätigen Attacke des Finanzkapitals, repräsentiert durch die Troika (Internationaler Währungsfonds, Europäische Zentralbank, Europäische Kommission) und die ihr folgenden Regierungen, die eine mit diesen Einrichtungen abgestimmte Politik betreiben, die die Bevölkerungen verachtet und zerstört. Wir wissen, dass diese Offensive dazu da ist, die Bevölkerungen zu brechen und zu SklavInnen von Schulden und Austerität zu machen. Diese Offensive geht durch ganz Europa und kann nur in einem internationalen Kampf besiegt werden.

Jede/r von uns, in jedem Land, in jeder Stadt, in jedem Haus, mit unseren je eigenen Besonderheiten, fühlt direkt die Maßnahmen, die uns Rechte nehmen, die über Jahrzehnte erkämpft wurden, Maßnahmen, die die Erwerbslosigkeit steigern, die alles privatisieren, womit man Profit machen kann und die die Souveränität der Länder einschränken unter der Propaganda der “externen Hilfe”. Es ist dringend notwendig, dass wir unsere Kräfte bündeln, um diesen Angriff zurückzuschlagen.

Der Appell, den wir für einen dezentralen, internationalen Protest in Umlauf gebracht hatten, ist in Dutzenden von Bewegungen in Spanien, Frankreich, Italien, Griechenland, Zypern, Irland, England, Schottland, Deutschland und Slowenien zirkuliert. Mehrere internationale AktivistInnen aus verschiedenen europäischen Ländern waren bei dem Treffen am 26. April in Lissabon mit dabei, auf dem dieser internationale Vorschlag diskutiert wurde.

*Am Ende erreichten wir einen Konsens zu einem internationalen Protest am 1. Juni unter dem Motto “Bevölkerungen vereint gegen die Troika!”*

Dies ist der Anfang eines Prozesses, der dezentral, einschließend und zur aktiven Teilnahme einladend ist. Wir wünschen uns, ihn gemeinsam voranzutreiben und dass sich ihm alle verfügbaren Kräfte anschließen.
Von heute an wird das Datum des 1. Juni europaweit verbreitet und wir bitten jede/n dringend, sich an diesem internationalen Protest zu beteiligen, der sich gegen die Troika und Austerität richtet und dafür eintritt, dass die Bevölkerungen die Kontrolle über ihre Leben übernehmen.

Wir bitten alle BürgerInnen dringend, ob mit oder ohne Partei, ob mit oder ohne Job, ob mit oder ohne Hoffnung, sich uns anzuschließen. Wir bitten dringend alle politischen Organisationen, alle sozialen Bewegungen, Gewerkschaften, Parteien, Kollektive, informellen Gruppen, sich uns anzuschließen.

Wir wünschen uns, unsere Kontakte weiterhin zu verbreitern, sowohl national als auch international, denn wir sind uns dessen bewusst, das nur die Summe unserer Stimmen die aufeinanderfolgenden Wellen der Austerität stoppen kann, die weiterhin über den Bevölkerungen zusammenschlagen. Die Menschen Europas haben mehrmals gezeigt, dass sie für weitere Opfer im Namen einer Zukunft, die niemals kommen wird, nicht zur Verfügung stehen. Die Zeit ist reif für eine massive Demonstration der Fähigkeit dieser Bevölkerungen ihre Kämpfe zu koordinieren gegen diese Politik und für eine bessere Zukunft.

Vorm Norden bis zum Süden Europas, auf die Straßen gegen Austerität!

London – Global Skills Exchange June 8-9

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND PARTICIPANTS – 8-9 June, London

From the uprising in northern Africa to the assemblies in Spain, followed by the spreading of Occupy, new social movements have sprung up all over the world. Our structures, ways of organising and tactics are still in their embryonic form: working through experimentations and learning from the inevitable difficulties. To progress and strengthen these processes, it is important that we come together to reflect on them and build visions.

Therefore, we invite you to participate in GlobalSkillsXChange in London this June.

Workshops will take place on the weekend of the 8th and 9th of June, followed by a week of actions and events for democracy, against G8*. We will share tools, skills and experience to take back to our local struggles, while defining common projects/actions/campaigns for global collaboration - moving away from capitalism and fake democracy towards fair, sustainable futures.

The event will focus on 4 axes:

  • Real democracy, assemblies and horizontal organising
  • Economical, social and political alternatives
  • Strategies of resistance and action
  • Online platforms/resources/tools

We invite contributions from all over the world. If you have a workshop or activity to propose, we ask you to contact us by the 15th of May at globalskillsxchange@gmail.com.

We welcome you to come to London, as we strongly value the importance of face to face interaction in strengthening ties between individuals and collectives. We also understand that it might not be feasible for everyone to come, and will do our best to ensure online accessibility.

We are also building an open source freely accessible online platform that can become an inspiration and point of  reference for all those who through their own actions want to contribute to radical change. So, we invite online contributions from all over the world on the above topics, in any format that you find more suitable (videos, podcast, online booklets,  info-graphics, papers, articles, etc)

This project is being developed through an open participatory process, if you would like to get involved, we invite you to join our mailing list and our weekly online meetings advertised on our site.

Finally, we hope that this event will be a stepping stone in a long-lasting project.  We look forward to building it together, welcoming you to London and continuing our collaboration beyond it.

Barcelona #15M Boletín nr 43

Saludos desde Barcelona,

Esto es un boletín de noticias que te informa sobre las actividades del movimiento 15-M en Barcelona, Catalunya y ocasionalmente de los grandes eventos en España. Si no deseas seguir recibiéndolo, por favor háznoslo saber.

1. Hangar: proyectos artísticos multidisciplinares permiten fluir a la cultura
2. ¡Los pequeños también tienen derechos!
3. No en nuestro nombre

1. HANGAR: PROYECTOS ARTÍSTICOS MULTIDISCIPLINARES PERMITEN FLUIR A LA CULTURA

La falta de espacios dedicados a la innovación y el desarrollo de proyectos artísticos en Barcelona llevaron a AAVC-Associació d’Artistes Visuales de Catalunya (Asociación de Artistas Visuales de Catalunya) a crear Hangar.

Hangar empezó alquilando una antigua fábrica textil en Poblenou (un barrio barcelonés) pero con el tiempo las instalaciones se ampliaron con tres edificios industriales vacíos que le asignó el Ayuntamiento. Con una superficie de 2.600 m2 ofrece espacios de coworking, talleres, oficinas, salas de usos múltiples, sistemas de grabación, camerinos, salas de producción y un laboratorio de software multimedia y libre que se combinan con una residencia de cuatro habitaciones. Todo ello para facilitar a los artistas el acceso a los recursos materiales y proporcionar un entorno experimental donde el conocimiento fluya libremente.

Hangar no solo ofrece la posibilidad de alquilar equipos y estudio, sino que proporciona asistencia técnica y asesoramiento en producción de proyectos artísticos y además desarrolla proyectos de investigación y actividades educativas. Participa a nivel internacional en otros proyectos innovadores y otorga becas de intercambio para facilitar la participación de los artistas patrios en proyectos internacionales. El Hangar esta abierto para los artistas e investigadores no-asociados cada jueves durante el cuál se comparten las experiencias en proyectos de electrónica y se recibe feedback de los ingenieros presentes.

Multidisciplinario, software libre, investigación, desarrollo, informática y robótica son los términos clave del proyecto. Para estar a la última en todas estas áreas Hangar colabora con grupos de desarrollo , universidades y centros de investigación como el Parque de Investigación Biomédica de Barcelona, PRBB  junto con otras organizaciones y programas que comparten sus objetivos, metodología y contenidos. En Hangar puedes encontrar todo lo que necesitas para el intercambio de cultura, ciencia y el conocimiento.

2. ¡LOS PEQUEÑOS TAMBIÉN TIENEN DERECHOS!

La Plataforma 03 se forma tras la unión de colectivos ciudadanos que tienen como objetivo defender el modelo de educación pública para los niños de 0 a 3 años y sus servicios suplementarios de los últimos recortes.

El Govern decidió incrementar la parte sufragada por los padres y reducir el numero de cuidadores con lo que incrementa el numero de niños por educador con el consiguiente deterioro en el refuerzo educativo. A parte de ello, se tiene intención de privatizar tres jardines de infancia y parar la construcción de nuevos.

El 17 de abril unas 300 personas de la plataforma se manifestaron en la plaza Sant Jaume (en la cuál se encuentra la Generalitat y el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona) y entregaron al Ayuntamiento una Iniciativa Ciudadana que pretende defender los jardines de infancia públicos, cancelar la última “reforma” y demanda mas inversión en estas instituciones educativas. 25.916 ciudadanos firmaron esta iniciativa, mas del doble del necesario para su presentación.

Al igual que personas de tercera edad, discapacitados e inmigrantes podemos considerar a los niños como un “colectivo vulnerable” ya que no pueden defenderse a sí mismos ni sus derechos con facilidad lo que no debe ser una razón para aprovecharse de ellos, cosa que el Govern parece hacer con sus políticas de recortes y reformas. ¡Es la hora de que los ciudadanos vulnerables se levanten y clamen por sus derechos!

3. NO EN NUESTRO NOMBRE

Después de años de actividad, cerca de 1.5 millones de firmas recogidas y gran cantidad de trabajo realizado con famílias, abogados y economistas la ILP (Iniciativa Legislativa Popular) por derecho a la vivienda propuesta por la PAH (Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca) tiene que ser votada por la Camara Baja del Parlamento español.

El Partido Popular, conservador y completamente opuesto a los movimientos sociales, tiene la mayoría absoluta en el Parlamento. Los portavoces del partido han intentado desacreditar a la PAH declarando que usan “tácticas terroristas” en referencia a la estrategia de escraches, que según los conservadores es “nazismo puro“. Sus declaraciones no tuvieron mucho efecto, sin embargo la asociación “Amical de Mathausen y otros campos” de los supervivientes de los campos de concentración nazis, envío una carta a la secretaria general del partido en la cuál se sorprende por su ignorancia y pide su dimisión.

Teniendo todo esto en cuenta era fácil prever lo que pasaría: el parlamento no aprobaría la Iniciativa. Pero el final puede ser peor aún: el gobierno sacará adelante su propia propuesta de ley que solo protegerá los intereses de las instituciones financieras. Aprobarán el texto y lo promocionarán como si fuese una victoria ciudadana.

Por ello la PAH decidió retirar la iniciativa el mismo día en la que fue aprobada por la correspondiente comisión parlamentaria. Con el eslogan “¡No en nuestro nombre!” la PAH organizó una serie de protestas que pretendían mostrar lo que realmente ha hecho el gobierno con la ILP. Cientos de personas secundaron las acciones en todo el Estado. La manifestación principal, organizada delante del Congreso se saldó con identificaciones y multas.

Pero una vez más, la PAH no renuncia a sus objetivos. Los desahuciados merecen una vivienda digna, es un derecho humano básico reconocido en la Constitución Española. Debe ser respetado. Si no se consigue con la ley en la mano, se conseguirá con nuevas ocupaciones de viviendas vacías.

BARCELONA #15M Newsletter nr 43

Hello from Barcelona,

This is the (almost) weekly newsletter that will inform you about the activities of 15M movement in Barcelona, Catalonia and occasionally the main events in Spain. If you do not wish to receive it anymore, please say so.

1. Hangar: multidiscipinary arts projects to let culture flow
2. Toddlers also have rights!
3. Not on our behalf

1. HANGAR: MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTS PROJECTS TO LET CULTURE FLOW

The lack of spaces to research and develop art projects in Barcelona lead the AAVC- Associació d’Artistes Visuals de Catalunya (Catalan Visual Artists Association) to create Hangar .

Hangar started off by renting an old textile factory in Poblenou (a neighbourhood in Barcelona) and it has expanded to the three empty industrial buildings  which the City Hall assigned to the project. Now, with a total surface of 2,600 m2, Hangar offers spaces  for coworking, workshops, offices, multi-use rooms, recording sets, dressing rooms, production rooms and a complete lab for multimedia and free software are combined with a residence with four rooms. All this is to facilitate the artist’s access to material and technical resources and to provide an experimental environment where the knowledge flows freely.

Hangar offers equipment and studio rental, technical assistence and councelling in production for art projects, but it also developes research projects, has its own activities and  an educational programme. It participates internationally in other research projects, and gives exchange grants to artists so they can become residents in other projects, mostly abroad. And for those who are not part of the project, every Thursday Hangar is open for non-resident artists and art researchers to share projects involving electronics or receive feedback from engineers.

Multidisciplinarity, free software, reseach, developement, computing and robotics are  some key words for this project. To keep up with the leatest ideas in all these areas, Hangar stablishes colaborations with experimental collectives, universities, research centers such as Barcelona’s Biomedical Research Park, PRBB  and other  organisations and programmes which share its objectives, methodology and contents. All you can need for a free exchange of culture, science and knowledge.

2. TODDLERS ALSO HAVE RIGHTS!

The Plataforma 03 (Platform 03) is the union of  several citizen collectives  that joined to defend the public education model for 0 to 3-year-olds and its supplementary services for  infants in Barcelona, against the latest decisions of the Government.

Indeed the Catalonian government decided to increase the cost for parents, to reduce the number of carers, increasing consecuently the amount of children per educator, with the result of a decay in educational support. Also they intend to privatize 3 Bressol Schools (Bressol means cot in Catalan) and stop building new ones.

On April 17th, around 300 people from the platform met at St. Jaume Sq. (where the governamental buildings of the region and the city hall are) to pacifically protest and to deliver the Town Hall a Popular Initiative proposal  to defend public Bressol Schools, calling off the last “reform” and asking for more economical support. The Initiative was signed by 25,916 people, more than double the indispensable signatures to present a Citizen Initiative.

Infants, like the elderly, disabled and inmigrants, can be considered as a “weak category” that cannot properly defend itself and its rights. This is not a good reason to take advantage on them, like governments seem to do all around with their last policies, budget cuts and reforms. It is time for the would-be-weaker citizens to fight back and claim their rights!

3. NOT ON OUR BEHALF

After many years of activity, almost 1.5 million signatures collected and a lot of work with families, lawyers, and economists, the ILP (Popular Legislative Initiative ,  see NL#12, 2  ) for housing rights proposed by PAH (Platform of those affected by the mortgage, see NL#19, 4 ) had to be voted in the Spanish parliament.

The parliament is taken in its majority by one single party, the PP (Popular Party), which is right winged and completelly against social movements. The spokespeople of the party already tried to say that the PAH was using “terrorist tactics” and even said that their strategy, the escrache (see NL#42, 2 ), it was “pure nazism” . Nobody took too much notice, except for the Amical Mauthausen association of survivors from the Nazi concentration camps, who sent a letter to the general secretary of the PP calling her ignorant and asking for her resignation.

In front of this, the prediction was clear: the parliament was not going to approve the Initiative. But at the end it was even worse: the government made its own law proposal, that actually doesn’t protect any more rights than the financial institution’s interests. They were going to approve that text instead, promoting it as a people’s victory.

So the PAH decided to withdraw the Initiative that same day, an action with the slogan No en nuestro nombre! (Not on our behalf) to make people understand what the government was really doing. They also called for a concentration in front of the parliament in Madrid, and many other cities joined with demonstrations in the whole country. The repression was intense in the capital, many fines and lots of identifications.

But, once again, the PAH will note give up. Evicted people deserve a decent housing, it is a basic and simple human right which even the Spanish constitution recognizes. It has to be respected. If not with new laws it will have to be with new home liberations.

People’s Assembly UK – June 22nd

Can the People’s Assembly revive the Chartist spirit?

This new movement of the anti-austerity left continues a radical tradition that reaches back far further than 1945

First published in the Guardian 26th March and  at Peoples’s Assembly Against Austerity

Given the Victorian outlook of the present British government, it’s fitting, if in many ways frustrating, that the British left also seems to be taking a trip back in time. The welcome and laudable anti-austerity aims of thePeople’s Assembly, which held its first press conference today ahead of a mass meeting on 22 June, have a familiar ring. In January 1792 the founding members of the London Corresponding Society, holding their first meeting in a tavern off the Strand, resolved to campaign for parliamentary reform and popular democracy in response to “the hardness of the times and the dearness of all the necessaries of life”.

The LCS grew rapidly, held mass public meetings aimed at asserting opposition to the government’s “late rapid advances of despotism” and in favour of “a fair free and full representation of the People”, and called a national convention of disparate radical societies. The Pitt administration, already panicked by the proliferation and militancy of popular radicalism, feared that this particular people’s assembly would usurp its own authority and moved forcefully against it, with society members arrested, imprisoned and transported, habeas corpus suspended to allow the detention of prisoners without trial, and gatherings in support of parliamentary reform banned under the 1795 Seditious Meetings Act. (One can only speculate on whether the People’s Assembly will constitute enough of a threat for the coalition to take a similar approach.)

Following the squashing of the LCS, the cause of working-class representation in parliament was sporadically taken up by British radicals, most visibly between 1838 and 1848 in the form of Chartism, a network of local associations responding to further hard times by demanding democratic reforms, including a secret ballot and the abolition of the requirement for an MP to own a certain amount of property or land. Again, Chartism was met by Britain’s political elite with alarmed hostility. Parliament refused to negotiate with the movement’s representatives or to accept a Chartist petition containing over three million signatures.

The People’s Assembly’s call for a mass movement to challenge an exclusionary political cartel, to turn popular hardship and outrage into organisation and action, then, is part of a tradition that is still depressingly relevant and stretches far beyond the “Spirit of ’45″ invoked by Ken Loach’s panegyric to the postwar Labour government. Despite the Attlee administration’s undoubted triumphs in improving the lot of the British working class under capitalism, Loach himself has expressed his lack of faith in the Labour party’s capacity to deliver a similar level of popular radicalism in power now, as has Len McCluskey, the head of Unite.

This perception that Labour has abandoned its historic commitment to the organised working class is significant. Despite the inclusion of MPs from both Labour and the Green party in what appears to be coalescing as the leadership of the People’s Assembly, it may turn out to be less focused than its forerunners on ameliorating existing political structures, and instead try to challenge or transform them. The London Corresponding Society’s claim to be “fully convinced a thorough parliamentary reform, would remove every grievance under which we labour”, or the Chartist faith in achieving change through presenting million-strong petitions to parliament, currently sounds as optimistic as it does anachronistic.

BARCELONA #15M Boletín nr 42

Saludos desde Barcelona,

Esto es un boletín de notícias que te informa sobre las actividades del movimiento 15-M en Barcelona, Catalunya y ocasionalmente de los grandes eventos de España. Si no deseas seguir recibiéndolo más, por favor háznoslo saber.

1. “No nos vamos, nos echan”
2. Comienzan los escraches en España: “si se puede, pero no quieren”
3. Ribermusic: música y canto para la integración

1. NO NOS VAMOS, NOS ECHAN

El día 7 de abril, los jóvenes españoles de todo el mundo acudieron a la llamada del colectivo Juventud sin Futuro. La manifestación central se realizó en Madrid, dónde miles de personas salieron a la calle. En solidaridad inmigrantes españoles de más de 30 ciudades en todo el mundo salieron a protestas: Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Nueva York, Viena, Berlin, París, Londres, Roma y muchas otras. En Barcelona alrededor de 100 personas respondieron a la convocatoria en plaza Catalunya en la que explicaron sus experiencias en el exterior.

La convocatoria era parte de la campaña No nos vamos, nos echan: como resultado de la mala gestión del Gobierno, una corrupción institucional generalizada y una crisis económica provocada por los poderes financieros la juventud española parece que no tiene futuro al estar obligada a escoger entre paro, inseguridad laboral o el exilio. El objetivo de la campaña es transformar esta realidad mediante la visualización de los problemas y creación de conexiones y redes permanentes entre los jóvenes, tanto los que se han visto obligados a emigrar como los que luchan con la dura situación patria. Lo principal es trabajar juntos para construir alternativas y soluciones a la situación actual.

Se creó un crowdfunding con el fin de apoyar la compaña, motivar a más personas a participar en los proyectos y poner en marcha varios proyectos. Los organizadores también se vieron obligados a recoger fondos para pagar multas impuestas a participantes de las acciones de la campaña.

Juventud sin futuro sigue luchando para crear un sistema más democrático y por una mayor distribución de la riqueza. ¿Si los jovenes no tienen futuro, a que puede aspirar el país?

2. COMIENZAN LOS ESCRACHES EN ESPAÑA: “SI SE PUEDE PERO NO QUIEREN” 

Los escraches comenzaron en America del Sur después de la caída de las dictaduras que gobernaban en Uruguay y Argentina como una forma de marcar a los colaboraron con el régimen y no fueron acusados penalmente ni juzgados. La idea consiste en señalar a las personas en su entorno personal para que sintieran que sus acciones no son aceptadas por la sociedad. También sirve para crear una masa crítica que demande acciones judiciales. En España, la PAH ha empezado a usar una forma adoptada de los escraches para denunciar el drama de los desahucios delante de los domicilios de los que quieren votar contra la ILP y para defenderla, la PAH promueve “desobediencia civil, acciones pacíficas para cambiar leyes injustas”. Con el lema “si se puede pero no quieren” dividido en dos pegatinas, una verde y otra roja pretenden mostrar que existen alternativas pero los políticos no quieren verlas. “Es una campaña para recordar a los diputados que el 90% de los ciudadanos apoyan la ILP y la democracia debe escuchar a los ciudadanos”.

Por ejemplo, el último escrache realizado en Barcelona fue el 27 de marzo. Se hizo una llamada para reunirse en el Arc de Triomf y después de unas rápidas instrucciones el grupo se dividió en tres, recorriendo varias calles mientras pedía apoyo a los comercios cercanos. Después se dirigieron al domicilio de la diputada popular, Dolors Montserrat para pedirle que vote a favor de la ILP. Se hizo con varios testimonios de lo que supone sufrir la abusiva Ley Hipotecaria española y explicar lo que supone que se vote en contra de la iniciativa popular de la PAH.

Muchos políticos se han quejado por los insultos recibidos durante este tipo de protestas y han intentado criminalizar a los activistas comparándoles con los nazis o ETA. Cuándo este tipo de tretas no logró nada el ministerio de Interior ordenó identificar a todos los que realizacen escraches, multarles y/o arrestarles. El presidente del Gobierno llamó a denunciar a los que realizaban acciones de escrache de los políticos. Varios periodistas e intelectuales rechazaron este tipo de medidas y denunciaron el aumento de represión por parte del Gobierno. Hasta un sindicato de policías puso en duda la legalidad y la posibilidad de realizar las directrices enviadas desde el Interior. Con Catalunya y el País Vasco en contra de seguir las ordenes del Ministerior del Interior relacionados con los escraches y un apoyo masivo de la sociedad la PAH ha anunciado que los escraches seguirán produciéndose y la presión sobre la clase política aumentará aun más “hasta que la ILP sea aceptada al 100%”.

Ahora, una “Primavera Verde” está a punto de comenzar: una nueva iniciativa PAH pide que todo el mundo utilice el color verde en su vida diaria: en su ropa, colgando una sábana en el balcón, en el coche… Cualquier cosa que se pueda imaginar para mostrar apoyo a esta lucha por una vida digna para todos.

3. RIBERMUSIC: MÚSICA Y CANTO PARA LA INTEGRACIÓN 

La escuela Ribermusic se creó en el barrio Ribera de Barcelona en 1995 que es conocido por alojar a muchas familias inmigrantes de África, América Latina y Asia. El proyecto intenta integrar a los jóvenes y adultos mediante la música, dando un acceso a las artes a las personas menos privilegiadas. 

El centro permite a los niños y adolescentes aprender los fundamentos de la música mientras se convierten en parte de sus propias culturas tradicionales. Profesores profesionales supervisan los talleres y ayudan a los estudiantes a llevar sus actuaciones al vecindario. El objetivo es crear una escuela de música de verdad en el barrio.

Ahora mismo están funcionando siguientes talleres: Tantarantan -ritmo y percusión para niño -, Ve-Ri-No-Tek – música urbana, tecno, rap y hip-hop -, Basketbeat que une basquet, música y la rítmica y por último Riberorquestra – una orquesta crisol compuesta por estudiantes de distintos talleres que tocan juntos y realizan conciertos en los espacios artísticos de la zona.

Cada otoño Ribermusica organiza el “Festival de Tardor”, un festival de música en el que participan tanto artistas profesionales como aficionados que actuan en los edificios históricos de Ribera

BARCELONA #15M Newsletter nr 42

Hello from Barcelona,

This is the (almost) weekly newsletter that will inform you about the activities of 15M movement in Barcelona, Catalonia and occasionally the main events in Spain. If you do not wish to receive it anymore, please say so.

1. We are not leaving, they are kicking us out – #NoNosVamosNosEchan
2. Spain starts the “escrache”: it can be done, but they don’t want to - Si se puede, pero no quieren  
3. Ribermusic: voice and music for integration

1. WE ARE NOT LEAVING, THEY ARE KICKING US OUT – #NoNosVamosNosEchan

On April 7th, Spanish youngsters living all around the world followed the mobilization call  of the Spanish collective  Juventud sin Futuro  ( Youth without a future see NL#16, 3 ). The main demo was in Madrid, where thousands of people took to the streets. Solidarity demos and concentrations happened in more than 30 cities all around the world  : Buenos Aires, Vancouver, New York, Viena, Berlin, Paris, London, Rome and many more. In   Barcelona, around 100 people answered the call for a concentration at   Catalunya square where several testimonies explained their situation in   an open mike.

The call was a part of the No nos vamos, nos echan  (We are not leaving, they are kicking us out) campaign: as result of the government’s wrong and corrupt administration during years, worsened by the current economical crisis created by financial powers, in Spain young people seem to have no future but choosing between unemployment, job insecurity or exile. The objective of the campaign is to transform this reality through displaying and reporting it in order to create connections and a permanent network between young people that had to emigrate and young people who are still living in their home country, but facing insecurity every day. The main idea is to work together on building alternatives and solutions to the current situation.

A crowdfunding (See NL#15, 1 ) has been set up  in order to support the campaign, motivate new groups of people who become eager to participate, and launch their projects. They are also collecting funds  to pay  the fines on some members of the collective for participating in several pacific mobilizations.

Juventud sin futuro will keep fighting to create democracy and distribute wealth. If the youth have no future, what future can Spain expect?

2. SPAIN STARTS THE “ESCRACHE”: IT CAN BE DONE, BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO - SI SE PUEDE, PERO NO QUIEREN

Escrache started in south America, after the dictatorships in Uruguay and Argentina, as a way to point out those who during the dictatorship permitted and participated of the regime and got free with no charges or even with no trial at all. The idea was to mark those people in their private environment, so they feel social refusal for their actions. As well, it’s a way to gather critical mass for a future legal action. In Spain, PAH started to use a modified form of it stalking politicians as a way to make visible the evictions drama in front of the deputies who were going to vote against the law (ILP) that PAH was proposing (see NL#39,1 ) , “civil desobience, peaceful actions to change unfair laws”. Shouting ”Si se puede pero no quieren” (It can be done, but they don’t want to) and with posters and stickers with these two sentences one in green the other in red to show that there are alternatives but the politicians don’t want to take them, actions all across Spain happen nearly every day. ”This is a campaign to remind the deputies that 90% of the citizens support this ILP, and democracy is listening to the citizens”.

For instance, the last one in Barcelona happened on March, 27th. They made a call to meet at Arc de Triomf and, after giving several instructions, three groups went through three different  streets, informing the neighbours and asking the shops for support . Then, the three groups gathered together in front of the office of a deputee of the Popular Party, Dolors  Montserrat, to ask her to vote positively for the ILP. This was done with several testimonies talking of their experiences as affected by the abusive mortgage law in Spain, to let her know the consequences of her negative vote.

As many politicians complained for being insulted or feeling embarrassed  by the Escrache actions, and after several attempts of politicians to criminalise it with words, even comparing these actions to terrorism, the Home office minister gave orders to identify, fine or arrest anyone who participates of an Escrache action. Several  journalists and intellectuals showed their refusal to the  order as a rising of repression. Even a police union pointed out that these orders might not be legal. Recently even the chief of the government, Mariano Rajoy, invited the population to denounce the people doing escrache. Now, with the refusal of Catalunya’s  and the Bask country’s autonomical police to follow this order, a massive support of the society to these actions and the government offering only an insufficient law to solve the problem of housing, PAH has announced that Escraches will continue and the pressure on politicians will increase even more ’till they see all their popular legislation initiative fulfilled.

Now a “Primavera Verde” (Green Spring) is on its way : a new PAH initiative askig everyone to use the colour green in their daily life: wearing it, showing a flag on the balcony, on the window, putting a pin on… whatever you can think of to display support to this struggle for a dignified life for everyone.

3. RIBERMUSIC: VOICE AND MUSIC FOR INTEGRATION

The Ribermusic School  is located in Barcelona since 1995, in the Ribera neighborhood, which has witnessed numerous waves of immigration and where various African, Latin American and Asian communities live side by side. The project wants to integrate young and adult people through music, opening a direct access to music to people from unprivileged background.

It allows children and adolescents to learn the basics of music while making them a part of their own traditional and modern cultures. Professional teachers supervise workshops and help students put on performances that bring the neighborhood to life. Its objective is to create a real music school in the Ribera neighborhood.

Projects already working are: Tantarantan - rhythm and percussion for children -, Ve-Ri-No-Tek - urban music, thecnologies, rap and hip-hop -, Basketbeat that joins basket, music and rhythm, Riberorquestra - a melting pot orchestra made by students from different workshops to play together and perform in various artistic venues.

Each  autumn, Ribermusica organizes the Festival de Tardor, a music  festival  featuring amateur and professional musicians performing in  historic Ribera settings.
