equal say in the direction agreed with the views expressed by the general meeting to take 
us freely. The discussion in the receipt of any decision to be able to convince each other 
and we know as much as possible to allow the extension to be agreed. However, despite more 
than processing the persuasion process can apply to vote whether we see a way to end the 
partners with a view to the discussion.

8 hours of working time on our return, works quite busy during the fall and winter where 
we get 40 euros to 50 euros, but you're getting the same period during the spring and 
summer. This journal will remain relatively high compared with the general economic crisis 
in Greece.

How do you apply an economic model in the face of capitalist production-consumption 
relationship Belleville Sin boss defended and you tell us about the model already put into 
practice

The economic model of Belleville; corresponding to struggle to destroy the social 
relations between labor and capital is based on workers' self-management. Belleville, if 
anyone's work and what it needs for its survival in the life of justice to decide to do it 
yourself, give the fight to spread the message of equality and autonomy. Thereof; to 
become stronger and more visible, we know we can not take place without a network with 
other collective organizations. In this way our struggle; capitalism is transformed into a 
struggle against the building and against production.

Sin is any political boss Belleville perform actions there or event

Belleville night usually organizes solidarity and concerts related to support and 
political groups and struggles with political agendas. In addition, Belleville, we are 
always open to political events in the same opinion, and even a portion of revenue outside 
of these events we get resistance to one of the workers to strike, we send solidarity with 
the political prisoners.

Cooperatives and collectives that are in contact in your network of solidarity Which

in Athens "Pagka that" and in Rethymno (a city in Crete) "Halikout like" Greece has many 
cooperative we are in solidarity in many cities. Two years ago we met in Istanbul 26

This is quite a long way to walk with us and yet we are at the beginning of the road.
