World time for collective Shale Gas, National Anti-Tafta mobilization, anti-nuclear 
protest, October 11 will be under the sign of environmental and anti-capitalist struggles. 
---- For anti-shale gas group, Saturday, Oct. 11 will be a double date mobilization: the 
third World Day against fracking (hydraulic fracturing), called Global Frackdown very 
invested in 2012 and 2013 to raise awareness risks and aberrations of the extraction; 
Event is coupled with the mobilization against the various free trade agreements of the 
great transatlantic market, since the meager environmental standards that still protect 
Europe oil companies are directly attacked [ 1 ]. And in the short term, since the Ceta 
(EU-Canada agreement) to be signed by both parties on September 25, is the precursor of 
the political agreement between the European Union and the United States, bringing with 
him same blur in the right formulations, and the same systematic arbitrage in favor of 
commercial interests threats.

TAFTA, AACC TISA totalitarian capitalism...

TAFTA and other free trade agreements are the most liberal global capitalist offensive 
that has seen long to impose global governance governed by the market. Below you will find 
the news of the fight rather than redundant analysis. The National Union and the European 
network will continue perhaps symbolically the European Citizens' Initiative - collecting 
one million signatures in seven countries in Europe to stop the TAFTA-CETA negotiations 
until a true public information - despite rejected by the European Commission in 
September. But few communities (73 in France) were declared "out Tafta" second part of the 
national campaign. For 82 local public and the European network, the issue of 11 October 
is to grow the movement information, visible action awareness of the consequences of 
deregulation coming or targeting multinationals involved already and already "advisor" 
partners [ 2 ]. Because the movement is for the moment confined to activists and trade 
unions, and needs to be supported by a mass aspiration. However, comparisons are becoming 
more numerous with other struggles, including environmentalists, on several issues: food 
(farm 1,000 cows, anti-GMO, local industries...), the energy market or the protection 
environments. But social movements, labor, anti-capitalist is concerned. Libertarian 
alternative called for a demonstration on 11 October.

Convergences coincidence

In Paris will take an anti-nuclear demonstration in last two days of the opening of the 
international exhibition of Nuclear Bourget (see article below ), which converges with 
that against the Tafta on Republic Square.
