The social and political moment we are experiencing, in the Portuguese region and Europe,
offers us austerity and crisis as overwhelming monsters that which is impossible to escape
and are impossible to overcome. In fact, just look around and there it is austerity being
shaken as a solution to both problems, the politicians in power, or as a weapon and
indignation, left waiting for a hunting votes at the expense of the misery of others. The
successive rotations in the power chair to last and are there currently in Portugal, we
are possibly on the verge of yet another change of government. ---- What we do know, from
years and years of the same story, is that regardless of who sits in the seat of power,
exploitation, based on fundamental gear this society, is more explicit, more cumbersome
and more violent.
But we still carry a new world in our hearts and, it seems, the general trend is that more
protests taking place in the streets and many of them organize themselves spontaneously
and horizontal.
Therefore, the presence of libertarian ideas and perspectives is of utmost importance in a
changing world, while contributions to the struggle and violence of this alternative
system. It is now more urgent than discuss, think and reflect with the stated aim of
acting, ie, fight and confront exploitation and domination that the economic, social and
political exercises over all. Similarly, the refusal of the authority as the basis of the
relationship between human beings among themselves and with the nature of the autonomy and
direct action as methods and thought, are the ideas that we want to develop and propose.
On days 5, 6 and 7 April 2013, will take place in the Set?bal Libertarian Conference.
Whilst forum for debate and discussion it proposes to deepen issues and reflect on the
reality that we are experiencing in the Portuguese region. While space for reflection on
the recent past, or not, can give us answers to problems and questions that allow us to
face the future. While living space and exchange of experiences she seeks approaching
people, collectives, groups and projects. While simply conference propose to bring
together different perspectives and varied libertarian that regardless of the differences,
they share a rejection of authority as an idea and method.
Thus, the CLS is open and is addressed to all who are in need of a reviewing practice, a
libertarian ideology and experience. Calls likewise, to participate and meet the diverse
