The Strasbourg motorway bypass project, called "Grand western bypass" do increasingly back
into the political debate, especially when politicians feel compelled to gesticulate to
believe that they are tackling the crisis of capitalism. The project, conceived in the
1970s, proposed in 1994, is massively challenged from the outset: the preferred choice of
car and truck flows, prioritizing highway lanes between rich and poor highways,
confiscation of important farmland close of the urban population, the reasons to fight ...
do not miss! ---- Canceled once in 2012 and remounted, the tender has been won by Vinci
(also as concessionaire of the Notre Dame des Landes airport) in October 2015. If nothing
is done and more by 2018, we will find ourselves with a new 2x2 motorway, toll defining a
new urban expansion area of the so greedy "Eurometropolis" Strasbourg.
The reign of the car
Criticized since the beginning of their marketing, the industrial sector has always
managed to impose their vision. Since the 1920s already, in France, cars have exclusive or
priority use of the streets! In the sixties the major highways are emerging (the A4, 1965
in Strasbourg), symbols of an improvement in living standards and mass consumption that
goes with it. It is this period that date back as the commercial area of Mundolsheim, or
the Reichstett refinery and the industrial zone. With the massive rural exodus and the
growth of cities, the road will allow us to travel distances larger and larger, required
to work or consume. Especially the urban logic is then that zoning: an area to work, an
area for shopping, an area for leisure, one for sleeping .... And of course, lots of roads
to connect all that. It was also at this time that the deletion of tram lines and some
local railway lines.
The easy way
While our Eurométropole continues to have delusions of grandeur, and continues to build to
accommodate new residents (Neudorf, the Rhine harbor south and east ...) and new
businesses (business district, north) it is not surprising that traffic becomes even more
problematic! But do we really believe relieve the Strasbourg peripheral highways with toll
highway (while there are free) away from the city? Hauliers in transit will they really
pay while the free motorway offers a shorter course but a little slow? And why not just
challenging urban concentration: why not more jobs in peri-urban and rural areas? More
public services, leisure and cultural sites in these areas? Are we condemned to cram ever
more in town to spend more and more time in on car?
Who benefits?
Certainly not to farmers who lose good land for the construction of GCO, those closest to
the city and that would be most helpful to feed the city in less carbon cost (if still
farming practices were somewhat more rational ). And their remaining fields, imprisoned
between the GCO and agglomeration expanding, will be more than before the prey of
developers and municipalities in search of new homes supposed to demonstrate the dynamism
of the city (a new development, it makes so beautiful on election pamphlet). By cons,
Vinci delights in advance of the GCO's market of 400 million euros!
Mégalotropole
So why elected officials, who constantly worry about our environment, which currently
claim to act to limit global warming, they will embark on the GCO this mess? Can we talk
about sustainable city continually increasing the size of cities, taking agricultural land
area for this extension, and claim at the same time promote local agriculture? Is it
enough to have to build eco-districts tens to believe that the government is concerned
about the climate, while their inhabitants spend more and more time in their cars to go to
work?
Simply because the only thought in terms of urban planning and regional development can be
summarized in one word: metropolization! This strategy that appeals to all the major
cities in the world aims to strengthen its weight in focusing the activities of economic
and political direction, is by networking with other cities, and attracting high-level
populations of qualification and returned. In Strasbourg, it has several consequences,
such as the hunt for Roma and their concentration in peripheral camps, or disproportionate
or unnecessary projects like the GCO.
Only struggle pays
Despite massive opposition, the project was revived and accompanied by a mobilization of
the institutions involved in the project, the first of which, the Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (thus the bosses, of course). Opposite, many still hope to roll back the project
through lobbying between elected representatives or through electoral alliances: the
Greens felt that this would be a condition sine qua non of their participation in the
municipal majority, until that the project was revived, but they question their
participation in the majority. The anti-GCO huts that were installed on some land affected
by the project are used to threaten this land occupation, on the model of the ZAD Notre
Dame des Landes, some activists up to talk about "zadification plot GCO "... but
forgetting that to occupy these lands, it is not enough to" bring "the occupants! In any
case, the experience of Notre Dame des Landes proves that the fight will be long and not
be limited to speech. For us to prepare us!

Next week will see the promotion of Fermanagh & South Tyrone MLA (Member of Northern
Ireland Assembly), Arlene Foster to the position of DUP leader and the North of Ireland’s
First Minister. Foster is a woman who was once described to have “learned a lot from the
likes of Thatcher when it comes to dealing with men in politics." ---- It is not coming as
much of a surprise that some middle-class, career-focused feminists have made claims of
this being some sort of an advance of feminism. Many are claiming that this represents a
great change in northern Irish society, as a move away from the male dominated arena that
we understands politics here to be (the same could be said throughout the World of
course). ---- Those hailing Foster’s promotion as a feminist advancement will generally
take the approach that having more women in politics is always a positive thing –
regardless of their politics. Those who hold these opinions are usually those who can
afford to hold them, or who are so privileged in every other avenue of their life that
they don’t need to consider anything but the gender of those who implement policies.
Others believe that the politics of the women elected does in fact matter, that their
politics must be more progressive. Those of a socialist persuasion are generally feminist
(on paper at least) and many feminists are socialists (again, on paper at least). This
group of people broadly believe that through the electoral route, through electing
feminists and socialists, through the use of the governing institutions that we can affect
positive change and a new society.
Anarchist feminists look at it a bit differently. We don’t believe that the tools of our
oppression can be used for our liberation. We believe that the means determine the ends.
Women in politics means nothing if we’re still poor, or can’t make a decision over our own
body or if we continue to face oppression in many other ways.
With this in mind, here's 5 reasons why Foster's promotion is not good for feminism, and
why it is excellent for the status quo.
(1) Foster is still fostering homophobic tendencies.
It's no secret that the DUP are rampant homophobes. Last year they proposed a bill that
would have effectively excluded Queer and LGBT+ people from everyday life through a
so-called Conscience Clause.
Foster voted in favour of the bill. By voting in favour of the bill she revealed that she
believes that businesses should be able to refuse service on the basis of the customer's
sexuality. The idea behind this was if someone’s sexuality falls into the criteria of
“religious persecution” then the religious should be allowed to persecute the queers.
Foster even opposes marriage equality, a very liberal measure in terms of queer acceptance
in a straight society. She was part of the minority of MLAs who voted against the latest
bill to introduce marriage equality into the north, legislation that was blocked by her
party of homophobes of course.
(2) Foster does not believe that women and other pregnant people should have a right to
choice in regards to their own bodies.
When the Marie Stopes clinic opened in Belfast in 2012 Diane Dodds (the DUP's only MEP)
released a statement claiming that "As a party we make no apology for wishing to see as
few abortions as possible take place in Northern Ireland and we do not support any change
to current laws." and that she "cannot consider abortion simply to be just another medical
procedure.”
When Foster’s opinion was requested a DUP spokesperson repsonded claiming that "Diane
Dodds’ statement on the Marie Stopes clinic was representative of all female members,
including Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster".
(3) Foster loves Capitalism.
Foster has acted as both Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister as well as Finance
Minister.
She is a huge advocate of lowering the Corporation Tax in the North down to 12.5%. This
will leave corporations paying less tax and increasing their profits.
A lower Corporation Tax - so that businesses get a break while the rest of us toil - as
well as money being pumped into the pockets of rich voters is her priority.
What is not her priority, is an increase in wages, better working conditions, flexible
work hours, not to mention childcare for working mothers and fathers.
She doesn’t care about the effect of the Public Sector cuts on workers. She showed no
support or sympathy with those who went out on strike last March in an effort to reverse
the devastating cuts.
It doesn’t concern her that women comprise two-thirds of Public Sector workers and will
therefore be disproportionately affected by the cuts – cuts that she is very comfortable
implementing.
She wants more investment, more money in the hands of the 1% and for us to be grateful for
whatever crumbs are thrown our way.
(4) Unionism is in very safe hands.
As a member of the Democratic Unionist Party it's a given that Foster is an ardent
unionist. She believes that a government nearly 500 miles away is where decisions should
be made over our local areas and over our lives.
Sectarianism is not an issue of concern to her - why would it be when Stormont and the
whole system are built on it?
(5) Foster is no Feminist - Not that Women's Liberation can be achieved through Stormont
anyway
I'm going to beginning proving this point by recapping what we have read so far.
Foster doesn't believe that a woman should have the right to choose what happens to her
own body and therefore agrees with forced pregnancy.
She is a homophobe - homophobia is incompatible with feminism. The feminist theory of
intersectionality puts forward the idea that all of our struggles and oppressions are
connected and intersect with one and other to reinforce them.
She loves capitalism, an economic system that globally leaves women disproportionately
poorer than men - it also doesn't help if you have to travel to England for an abortion
because your Female First Minister doesn't believe you should be able to avail of one here.
She is a Unionist, a system that opposes autonomy. This is at odds with the basic feminist
idea of female autonomy, an idea which many feminists extend to ideologies of governance
or autonomous organising of society.
As First Minister she will continue to uphold and pursue these views and policies.
Swapping Robinson for Foster is merely the swapping of one master for another. It gives
the facade of change while reinforcing the same system.
Even if Foster were a feminist Stormont has not been built for the purpose of women's
liberation. It has not been built for any kind of liberation.
Female participation in our old, tired and patriarchal systems will not eradicate them of
sexism; it will only ensure further continuance and participation in our old, tired and
patriarchal systems.
The State is built on the foundations of the idea of privilege. The idea that some in
society are entitled to more than others by their very nature. This idea of privilege and
domination of one group over another comes from the idea that the male sex was meant to
biologically dominate over the female sex; this is what paved the way for systems of
privilege, such as sexism, the class system, racism, etc.
Stormont has been used as a tool to oppress and to enslave; it cannot be used for our
liberation.
The solution is not to take Stormont and fill it to the brim with women - no matter how
feminist. The solution lies in the destruction of our current patriarchal oppressive
structure while simultaneously building a brand new society, free from systemic
oppression, based on co-operation, not competition.
A society in which people get to make decisions over their own lives - not some
politicians who they have never met; politicians who have no intention of meeting them and
working in their best interests.
A society in which all are free from domination.
This type of society doesn’t come from a ballot box.

P enggusuran can be found anywhere. In the town or village, the eviction was as a
perpetual program developing countries are vying to become a developed country. In
Indonesia, since the New Order era until now, the eviction was constantly happening. In
the village, agricultural land evictions done in order to open up new industrial estates
or new settlement to keep pace with population growth. In the city, the eviction carried
out in the name of beauty, green open spaces and imagination ketertataan a la the
developed countries. In fact, eviction-which often dieufimismekan with relocation-is a
form of oppression of the state for a certain class. ---- December 7, 2015, an interesting
discussion about the phenomenon of eviction was held by the Department of Management and
Public Policy and the Department of Politics and Government UGM. A discussion titled
"Politics Poor City: Market Citizenship or Communal Citizenship?" Hosted by Dr. Ian Wilson
(Murdoch University in Australia) and Dr. Amalinda Savirani (UGM). In this discussion,
Jakarta, chosen to be the case.
Since Jokowi-Ahok elected as the ruler of Jakarta in 2012 (later diambilkendali by Ahok in
2014), the corners of Jakarta, especially in areas inhabited urban poor, was subjected to
eviction. Some evictions have even attracted the attention of the public at large. Call it
the eviction in Pluit Reservoir area, Park BMW and the last one-and was heated-is Kampung
Pulo.
In keeping with the theme of the discussion, the two perspectives citizenship be a subject
of conversation which is quite exciting. Unfortunately, I missed the explanation Dr. Ian
on market citizenship. But, from what little I understand of the concept is a matter of
the management mechanism of rights and obligations that have liberal tendencies, which the
state responsibility for citizens (people) reduced and handed over to the residents
themselves. That is, the release state obligations and every citizen is required to take
responsibility for his life-and his family. But unfortunately, the state still has control
over citizens living space. Here I will be a little linking the horizon thinking anarchism.
In the anarchist perspective, offer 'memandirikan citizens' certainly 'ideal'. Basically
anarchism also encourage freedom and independence, but in contrast to the independence of
a la liberalism, anarchism actually combines the freedom and communalism-anarchism often
disalahkaprahi as absolute liberalism. With the combination of these, then who is born
later is cooperation, rather than competition. When the state forces people to dissolve in
market citizenship, the state tried to take their responsibilities while still in control
of the citizens. State never really took off full of life of citizens under their control.
Regulation as a means of control however remains the embodiment of repression. For
example, if the eviction is the consensus of the citizens of Jakarta? No. But the
government has to get legitimacy for displacing and controlling all aspects of life of
citizens, through elections. Here, the state has become a vehicle for the ruling class to
maintain its power and do what dimaunya.
If we talk about the autonomous communities, the rights and obligations of individuals are
connected to each other in the same community. In this mechanism, an individual does not
really become individualist, but as an individual who has the right and responsibility for
the community.
Market citizenship clearly does not benefit people. More deals are communal citizenship.
According to Dr. Linda, this concept provides an opportunity for citizens to reclaim their
rights were deprived by the government through devolution of individual responsibility
earlier.
According to him, the main problem in organizing the urban poor is a consolidation
movement. There are several factors, one of which, the mobility of the actors are not the
same. Work and social class different identities create the perception of citizens on
issues that it faces become diverse. Terbagun relationships in this group is based on
shared territorial. Although the identity should be a movement of capital, but in fact the
sentiment of individualism overdo stronger. The desire to fight is caused more by the urge
to save himself from eviction, instead of collective reason.
Movement is quite different from the urban poor with the labor movement, the peasant
movement, or the movement of other sectors, where the identity of the main capital to
build unity.
Communal citizenship is actually trying to answer the gap is. In contrast to the market
citizenship created and raised by external parties (government), communal citizienship is
about how to build the awareness of citizens as an entity: ber- class vis-a-vis the state.
However, the space for communal citizenship is the state order. It becomes a weakness.
Talk about citizenship (citizenship) then we will talk about the tension between citizens
(community) with the government (the state), and practically we will discuss in the realm
of nation-state. If we agrees that the citizen is the opposition to the ruling class, the
political play in the same state rules governing the playing field with the enemy. In any
country, liberal or communist though, the government has always argued that the policies
they make is in the public interest, for the benefit of citizens. Criticism of the
government is then translated as a form pembangkanan and ultimately against these groups
branded with various labels: subversive, counter, or henchmen PKI-Ahok Pluit reservoir
once said residents who refused to be evicted with this designation.
In the history of Indonesia, for example, the government has virtually no intention to
become a republic (res publica). Cicero said that 'the people' in the word res publica
does not mean hordes of individuals, but a social organization that is built to achieve
goodness and justice together. But in fact, the state has never represent the public
interest, in this case the lower class citizens.
The executive and legislative branches are institutions that then seize the rights of
individuals through the mechanism of the election. So, do not be surprised when the
state-by-repressive instrument arbitrarily fired on the farmers, the workers beat demos,
and displacing poorer citizens, because it is a surefire way to defend its interests. The
interests of the ruling class. []

Unpublished testimony of a young rebel, after the banned demonstration against the Cop21.
Alternative Libertaire publish this story between post-attacks emotion and disgust from
the unjust order that responds. ---- Why I filed candles ---- on the Republic Square ----
Already they were my peers, so it's different, even closer than Charlie and Hyper Kosher
for which I had not felt in January. And it's mates whom I thank for once their eternal
delay, knowledge that is injured, the college buddies who live in the neighborhood, names
of streets and bars which evoke memories, habits, "whore I was there yesterday," and
"whew, I almost go to this concert," the bad news piling up like corpses on a sidewalk,
the eyes of friends who tell the horrors they saw . In short it was with me and it was mine!
Yet as for the killings of Charlie Hebdo in January, at the beginning I did not feel
anything. My eyes were dry, my heart insensitive, it was too big, not palpable, unreal, I
was not there, I did not see anything of myself. But the addition was salted daily. The
succession of bad news, the friend of a friend, the brother of a friend and seven friends
at once. There it came out at once. I whining like a kid, a real great sorrow, a full
unfathomable sadness, sadness that a child asks why, before silent incomprehension.
So yes I have been filed candles instead of the Republic, like many people, because it's
good because it makes me shit we could get whacked like that, because it was of the people
I knew or who looked like me, because it touches me.
After the attacks of 13 November in Paris, a memorial has spontaneously sprung up at the
foot of the statue of the Republic Square
cc Roberto Maldeno
Then comes the rage, why here, why here, why not for Defence, in the seventh or the
sixteenth, where there is surely more responsibility square meter. And then we talk about
it, and we think we realize that our generation is on a ridge. Okay this is precarious
generation ... but with a few tricks to lose some and it makes all the difference.
Besides, it's what little is left us and that everyone was not who was attacked: to
celebrate, to drown in the music, the laughter, weekend evenings, alcohol and other
synthetic drugs. But in that same generation ago one sings Rhoff and IAM, the lost
generation for whom "tomorrow is far away." The dead still had possibilities of tomorrow
in mind, the terrorists I do not think, if one does not become a suicide bomber.
And then I remember the post-Charlie, all this never analyzed symbolic. Who was walking?
Behind that? And what name? All France was not walking. 30% wealthier surely, those who
have something and who felt attacked. And they agreed to walk behind the greatest
terrorist in the world, those who make thousands and millions of deaths and remain alive
without ever getting wet, not guys who are farting and fortunately rarely exceed ten dead.
13 yes, it is sad. But protesters, although wise, sad property of January 11, obeying the
injunction presidential commemorate the champions of free speech would not see that some
did not show that some are not felt attacked because Charlie and the Republic have never
defended.
The police who applauded at the official march of January 11, 2015 which is the same every
year, maims, wounds or kills in racial profiling or events.
And embarking slogans for safeguarding freedom of the press in confusing everything. A
country where press freedom does not exist, it usually means an authoritarian regime,
certainly. But who says country with a so-called freedom of the press does not say much
for democracy! We saw last Sunday in France today, free speech is hanging by a thread.
However, on January 11, which was equal in the slogans on the signs? In the motto of the
French flag, walkers the only one chosen "freedom", I think it was time yet to talk about
equality and fraternity. As Camus said in The Rebel, "freedom of law has grown much faster
than the freedom of it! "As the intellectual is a rare species and endangered, as the old
out of the closet.
In post events Charlie, nobody wanted to see the social divide symbols and it is our
generation that takes it in the mouth to blow bastos! Our generation fucks wanderings, the
consequences of the horrors, the unspoken, taboos, contempt, hypocrisy of past generations.
Today, with the state of emergency, at least everyone is on the same level. It is as if
the whole of France had become a ZUP. And in just two weeks of daily repression, we
understand that one can be venerated when it's forty rods that suffers it.
Why I threw candles
The Cop 21 is the wind. Who can believe that an organized event, funded and publicized by
the biggest polluters of the planet can change the game and stop our progress towards
disaster? Whether state - Europe, China, Russia, USA, Brazil - or private - Total, Suez,
Gazprom and so on - they are all there.
So it's been that I had planned to be at Republic this Sunday, November 29, 2015, before
the state of emergency before the killings of 13, long before and nothing could have
stopped me from going . I went to say what I think, not to be violent, just to tell my
truth and lies.
Then comes the fucking state of emergency, the ban on demonstrations, this break in the
guarantee of separation of powers, the application of the country of human rights a waiver
to not respect them. A great anything following the deaths of cities, reminiscent of the
2005 revolts, the death of Rémy Fraisse, prohibited demonstrations propalestiniennes, an
escalation that progresses and the temperature increases suddenly.
Near the bridge of Austerlitz in Paris. a chilling reminder. The initiatives to denounce
the unjust of the state of emergency have flowered since its enactment.
It is always the police who begins. A Republic on Sunday, even though you could still get
out early, we were already surrounded. Why do you think the media that put you in the
skull that the fight is on equal terms? It is always the strongest that sets the degree of
violence of a confrontation, there is only to look at the images that run in continuous
loop on TVs.
Yet presenter on BFM said those images that it is the protesters who are violent, there
are ultradangereux breakers when everything says the opposite, that the slogans are only
against the state of emergency when I sang "Coal, oil, shale gas, nuclear power, no thank
you. Shut factories and supermarkets, mini-wind in every garden! "What is delirium? How
cans, glass bottles will reach kinds heavily armed with helmets, armor, shields, batons,
grenades, flash-balls - soldiers, whatever - that launch tear gas, which we bludgeon,
which fire bullets in the face.
To quickly tell what happened, we ended 2000 on a square surrounded, forbidden to walk to
express ourselves. We did some rounds up with slogans denouncing the lies of the Cop21 and
revolt against a regime increasingly authoritarian.
And then, about 14 hours as always it is the police who launched the attack while everyone
stayed quiet until then. The tear gas flying in the air, eyes crying, coughing. Then come
the charges, batons, and dragged unknown buddies down and shipped, regardless of age,
without their being violent, and they just because they were there.
Police violence Protest // Climate and fundamental freedoms // Paris from Stephane scared
we Vimeo.
So yes, it annoys me me all this mess and I want to answer. And how often you take what
you have on hand. So I took candles in containers, surely not the same as the one I had
tabled a few days before a tribute to the dead, but I have taken many and I launched on
opposite terrorists, those that really scare me because they are serious in their
violence, it shows in their eyes that they want to hurt us.
And throw little things, although we know it will make them anything, bah it feels good,
everyone should put it! Quick reminder still the major fanatics who govern our country,
Francis, and Manolo Nanard is that your boots have trodden flowers, candles and messages
of condolence, it was you who trampled and violated the memorial, not We started with our
three candle, and all that is confirmed by dozens of photos and videos circulating on the net.
So you can continue to discredit us, except that it takes less and less. People now know
that if some are dressed in black, with hood, hood or scarf, it is not to suffer your gas
because you get used to your violence and why it is organized to demonstrate and ensure
ourselves our safety.
People who were non-violent and as we have been mistreated Sunday, it is we who have
provided their Maalox for them to breathe, it is we who have given saline for them they
cry less is our arms tight to that they stay together against the forces of order. Yes
your authoritarian order loses its legitimacy by the day.
Here is the generation of the above that I speak to my parents who read me Morning Brown
when I was a kid. Well now I have the impression of living in this story true. Except I'm
not going to stand idly by as in the book. While you old, asleep and freaked out, you have
too much to lose to revolt you, your comfort zone, your tired of having your mouths closed
for too long against the misery ahead. At least if you do not understand us, stop judging
us. It is we who die, it is we who are fighting!

The European Trade Union Confederation conference held at the House of Mutuality in Paris
from September 29 to October 2. It includes ninety organizations of thirty-nine countries.
For France are members of the CGT, CFDT, FO, CFTC and UNSA (application for membership of
the FSU is under consideration). ---- It was in the 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin
Wall, the ETUC becomes a juggernaut representing millions of union members. Membership in
many Communist-led confederations leaving the World Trade Unions (WFTU) creates a
tremendous potential force for employees. In 1999, the CGT formally joined the ETUC are
promising to introduce "the virus of class struggle". Alas, this is the class
collaborationist tradition which goes rather rub off on the CGT direction!
The ETUC is indeed a bureaucracy funded by the European Commission. The new president, an
Italian who has never worked other than as union bureaucrat, has recalled in his closing
speech that the European social dialogue and participation in European governance are the
methods of the CES to "influence the decision-making structures" . The ETUC example
deplored the holding of the referendum in Greece antiaustérité. In this context, FO is
found at the far left of the congress (!) By calling for union independence and "weigh"
rather than "participate".
Fury of the time
However, ETUC is not completely sealed to the fury of the time. The Czech Confederation
example raises the issue of a harmonized European social policy by pointing out that wages
in the new EU countries in the east are lower than the Chinese average wage. Resolutions
denouncing the new directive protecting trade secrets or questioning the right to strike
in Spain.
Some areas in France to argue that the CGT kind of ETUC and return to the FSM. This debate
will be a highlight of the 51st congress of the CGT in April. This deserves consideration.
Note that leaving the ETUC does not magically solve the problems strategic direction of
the CGT. And the WSF is hardly attractive. Weighed down by the weight of the last
Stalinist dictatorships unions, it is silent on the right to strike and support various
authoritarian regimes (Bashar Assad, Putin ...). It has no more than the CES socialization
of means of production in its statutes. THESE are found in the trade union forces whose
directions are questionable but undeniably represent millions of workers (German
steelworkers are able to organize strikes on more effective wages CGT ...). Finally there
are often common in these confederations "class struggle" with whom he would have to work.
Rather than leave the CES, we propose to conduct the internal control work of the CES, but
without locking it: ideological struggle and practical with current and combative unions
that exist there, while living a coordination European members of militant organizations
of the WFTU (RMT English for example) and trade union organizations linked to European
networks of alternative unions (Solidaires in France, CGT-E in Spain ...).

On Wednesday, December 9 held large-scale operation "broom" in marmalades-Macedonia border
in Idomeni moving away from the area about 2500 economic immigrants here and one month
there were trapped, having figured in protest railway line connecting the two countries. -
The whole operation was conducted under great secrecy and away from the spotlight to
remain undisclosed widely repressive and violent scenes that forced migrants and refugees
suffer the separation process and then get on buses to the Athenian capital. ---- In the
region remained only refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan to be promoted in other
European countries since only they enjoy international protection status. ---- The
liquidation was a deposit credentials of the Greek State to the European Union and the
directives of as it took place just a week before assuming border surveillance Frontex is
a force of 1000 men and by agreement with major business groups in reopening the
commercial track and uninterrupted movement of goods. The objective of the European Union
is to take their own police control the "movement" of migratory flows. In other words, to
trap in Greek ground, thousands of people, depriving them of the opportunity to go to
countries that wish. After all, the reason why hundreds of thousands of people are trapped
in Greece are the regulations and conditions signed by the Member States of the European
Union ("Dublin II" and "Schengen") forbidding them to leave.
Global political and economic bosses impose the exclusion of hundreds of thousands of
people on the outskirts of Fortress Europe, the entrapping him inside the Greek state will
inevitably turn into a human warehouse and imposition of emergency within the western
metropolis under the guise of "fear of terrorist attack" with a view to control and
subjugation of Western societies, especially in the volatile environment that shapes the
global capitalist crisis.
The coalition Syriza-Anelia, having fully divested its humanitarian mask now becomes the
full realization of the designs of world domination, consolidating the regime exclusion
and poverty. Immigrants, whether escape the mines and old tubs that transport them to the
Aegean, are intended to be stowed in a concentration camp or fall mafia victims of
trafficking, arranger of which is the state itself. The land borders are closed and opened
again staying escape routes that pass through the flatbed of a truck on which the
traffickers will be paid handsomely ...
Living in a city as a gateway to the "capitalist paradise of Europe" is constantly
destination of the damned of this world, champion the policy and practical solidarity to
refugees and immigrants. Across the border, fences and concentration camps that sets
Europe-fortress divisions intensifying and murders redundant, to oppose resistance,
solidarity and common struggle of all the exploited for dignity and meaningful life. For a
society of equality, freedom and justice.

The evacuation of Idomeni is the practical implementation of a far-right agenda, which
increasingly widens political, fueled by the escalating "fear of terrorism" - in which
more and more sovereignty invests. - An agenda xenophobic, intolerant, extreme right, who
knows no ideological borders between the governments of the European states. - On
Wednesday 09/12 were practiced by the riot police threats by the government to evacuate
the Idomeni from immigrants and immigrants, according to the ongoing suggestions of
"European partners". ---- The latter threatened for several days that if there prove to
Greece that can not control its borders, as there is a risk and exit of Greece from the
zone of Schengen countries ("free movement zone").
From morning scene in Idomeni stank "democracy": Ringer kilometers cops emptied the
scenes, to pick by force migrants to buses that took them to Athens, wood to anyone who
refused to leave the tents, afferent to members No Vorder while showing once again their
democratic sensibilities, strict ban and arrests journalists, photojournalists,
solidarity, even NGOs to reach the point. After fences, border controls and the "free"
passage only Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis, now comes the evacuation be added to the list of
those who prove that the division "refugees" and "immigrants" -which systematically
promote their sovereignty In recent months, in order to separate what Europe needs for
cheap, skilled labor force and those once more left over for afentika- done by propaganda act.
Since January he took power SYRIZA no illusions about his intentions. Now that the
"government of the left" shows its true face, that person is not is foreign to us: we had
used all the governments, socialist, right wing, and the two together, universal and the
like. He can understand and he "optimistic" that hope finally died.
The evacuation of Idomeni -a brutal expression of daily anti-immigrant policy; creates a
precedent. In Greece the Memorandum of the repressive context of increasingly heightened
state of exception and the increasingly expanding. And it is the "government of the left"
that implements these policies on immigrants, who, as everyone asks the obvious: the right
to life and freedom of movement - the same that was employed by capital to pass the
memoranda to dissolve the insurance and many more.
It seems now to everyone that this government, like any other, left or right, it is
against immigrants, workers, the unemployed, all of us. In this condition, the only
favored is once again the capital, which, this year seems to get enough of cheap, skilled
labor, and thus excluded from the European labor market who does not want.
The evacuation of Idomeni is the practical implementation of a far-right agenda, which
increasingly widens political, fueled by the escalating "fear of terrorism" - in which
more and more sovereignty invests. A xenophobic agenda, intolerant, extreme right, who
knows no ideological borders between the governments of the European states.
Fences, camps, evacuations, deportations, wood, state security, curtailing civil rights
demonstrations bans, emergency procedures, compose the actual image of Europe, which is
completely different from that shaped the minds of the devotees of the European left and
social democracy.
As always, so now, the anarchist movement in Greece and everywhere, will always be
towards those who trample human lives. In the same streets with immigrants, in the same
workplaces, common struggles, behind the same barricades. For a classless society,
communism and anarchy.

In October, the two local unions CGT Douai, separated for six years, were reunited. Good
news for the class struggle. ---- On 14 and 15 October was held the Congress of the local
union CGT of Douai. This might seem common, but this conference was that of the
reunification of the two existing UL CGT in Douaisis since 2009. Indeed, following an
internal conflict on political and financial choices of former Secretary of UL (since
deceased) , a coalition was formed against it by comrades of UL with the support of the
North DU and the confederation CGT. So we ended up with two UL CGT in Douai ... The
libertarian activists who campaign did everything to find a united UL and the class
struggle bases. For six years a huge work has been done to achieve this reunification, at
this conference, which brought together all the basics of Douai (more precisely, 88% of them).
For months, a group of preparation of the Congress composed of people of both UL was
active. Preparation smoothly, during which everyone could see that there was no
substantive difference! Including new activists, who did not understand the situation too.
Creating a high school section
The congress took place in a calm atmosphere, each wanting to end this situation. Negative
consequence: all sensitive subjects may not have been addressed. One may regret the lack
of discussion and decision making on the subject of migrants, on the anti-capitalist
struggle to the emancipation of the social movement from political parties. One could also
attend a grand parade of PCF elected MP and a FDG.
What we can still remember very positive is the inclusion in the statutes of the UL of a
section CGT schoolgirl. Indeed, for many years, high school students joined the
demonstrations of Douaisis under the label of a high school student union. The CGT has
always helped them prepare their actions when they needed it, and they, and have mounted
actions that marked the spirit, especially on free transport or against Roma expulsions.
They are the ones who came knocking on the door of the CGT, asking him to help them create
a high school section. Many students do internships or training in business and very often
to make a stooge job, so it was logical that incorporates the UL. At the conference, some
differences, however, broke out that this does not correspond to the statutes of the CGT
confederal. But the decision was taken by Congress to give power to the base, leaving the
confederation care to adapt!
Much less positive, was able to attend a settlement of accounts between live comrades UL
and the Secretary General of the UD. The direction of the UD is far from unanimous in the
region, and is, admittedly, far from libertarian ideals, but the event was not appreciated
by many. The hardest part is coming. The new Executive Board and the new office have an
important work of rebuilding a dynamic and a balance of power in the Douaisis. To be
continued !
