On April 20, 2016 will take place one of the grossest manipulations that sets the state 
with law enforcement and judicial principles: the court of appeal for a number of cases 
involving anarchists have tried at first instance for special cases and crams them into a 
comprehensive file . - The bundling of affairs "giafkas" Halandri, incendiary parcels of 
robbery in Velvento the arrests in New. Smyrna in 2010 in Volos, one year later, and many 
other cases involving a number of anarchist militants in courts are the culmination of its 
regular deep Greek state level of enforcement and punishment of political prisoners 
marched against this. ---- It is the only way to stay in prison anarchists who are on the 
verge of release, not to provide the necessary permits law to load the already imprisoned 
fighters with new categories.

Moreover, it is an approach that sends the message that dangerous to the "national 
security" is all of the above, and not the fascists (like the bastard the Roupakias which 
was released having confessed murder) or all sorts of drug traffickers, from the "small" 
partners of cops in Exarchia up shipowners prezokaravon owners.
The state, with left or right government, had continued. It is up to us-that our common 
struggles together with all parts of society to take a clear position in the class polemo- 
to remove it, putting the bow for a society without exploitation, without power.

Our solidarity with the fighters inside and outside prison, it is obvious, even if there 
is between our essential ideological identification. The struggle against such 
manipulations are deeply social and class and is part of the eternal war between 
oppressors and oppressed.

Anarchism in Brazil began to reorganize with the process of political opening in recent 
years of military dictatorship. In several regions of the country, breaking the secrecy 
imposed by the political regime, it was possible the organization of anarchist groups of 
different concepts. Some of these groups have felt the need to link anarchism to social 
movements. By the early 1990s, the Mutirão group of Rio de Janeiro, already understood 
that anarchism should develop among the people in order to achieve their final objectives 
of a libertarian socialist revolution. ---- Contacts with the Uruguayan Anarchist 
Federation (FAU) were also established in 1994. The deepening of this relationship was 
strengthened the following year with the founding of the Anarchist Federation Gaucha 
(FAG). FAU, for advocate and practice a concept of organized and combative militant 
anarchism was being interpreted by Brazilian groups in constant contact with the Uruguayan 
organization, as the most appropriate to their aspirations to organize social movements by 
the base, walking side by side, or without guide and be guided by them. thus having the 
political organization as accumulation space of experiences won in the struggles of social 
movements, without the risk of losing them to the changed circumstances.

Between late 1995 and early 1996, with the deepening of relations with FAU, there were 
discussions between several Brazilian anarchist groups. The results culminated in the 
making, the Brazilian militancy active in Uruguay, the document "Struggle and 
Organization: the Brazilian Anarchist Construction". It was intended to create, in the 
short term, political bodies organized at the local level, and in the long run be an 
anarchist organization at the national level. For this, the political force would act as 
an organic group, gathering few people in order to create an anarchist organization. Thus, 
Especifismo became propagandized in Brazil, adapted to their reality.
In 1997, the result of this process was born the Socialist Organization Libertaria, an 
anarchist organization of national level, the result of intense debate for nearly two 
years between the groups and organizations with ideological affinities of organized 
anarchism. Groups and state organizations have become centers of OSL.

The OSL sought to implement the proposals of the "Struggle and Organization." In its 
founding charter he claimed to be an organization of active minority character; in other 
words, proposed act and propose ideas within the movements and trends in which it 
participated, walking together, without becoming avant-garde or come in the wake of 
popular organizations, in order to print a revolutionary character with the ultimate goal 
of libertarian socialism deployment.

Its existence lasted until 2000, with advances both in the internal organization of the 
OSL itself as in its work on social movements. However, made a self-criticism on the 
accumulation of experience of the organization, it was possible to see that the will to 
organize at the national level ended up being rushed and the construction of a national 
organization could only come after the local organizations were in place organizational 
buildup.

In 1999 came the founding of the People's Resistance (PR), a grouping of tendency which 
added anarchists and militants of other ideological strands within the same methodological 
affinity to work on several fronts that operated in order to enhance the basic work. "The 
national project of this trend spreads in Brazil, managing to add militancy in Rio Grande 
do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Pará and have some operations in Mato Grosso and 
Goiás." With strengthened RP process, it opened again the possibility to start the 
construction of a national organization, this time from local and regional performances.

As a continuation of the organizational process started in the mid-nineties, it was 
created in 2002, at a meeting in the city of Belém, Pará, the Forum of Organized Anarchism 
(FAO). It proposed strengthening the structural foundations of an organization with those 
who saw the need to articulate politically to a social work relevant, differentiating 
people who identify themselves as individualist anarchists, antiorganizacionistas, or 
contrary to work in the popular movements. It also proposed the debate on organized 
anarchism in Brazil, with the north building of a national organization, and supported the 
formation of anarchist groups, approaching them and linking them; He sought to develop 
work and struggles at different levels and fronts and coordinate with other organizations, 
especially in Latin America.
By aggregating groups and organizations with different levels of experience in anarchism 
and grassroots movements, the FAO posits the principle that, to achieve greater affinity 
and political unity between the groups, the same should happen to their social militancy 
and its theoretical construction . Considering that anarchism is a fight, it was necessary 
to build an anarchist organization based on theoretical unity and action, signed "from an 
internal organization based on the political federalism and collective responsibility to 
build an anarchist revolutionary organization active in struggles ".
Ten years of founding of FAO were celebrated with the founding congress of the Brazilian 
Anarchist Coordination (CAB), making it a significant advance of organicity. This whole 
process comprised several steps. The first was the rapprochement during the years 2009 and 
2010, to overcome an impasse generated by a 2003 conflict, responsible for separating 
Especifismo of Brazil in two lines that were developed in parallel. On the one hand, the 
FAO itself and the other, the FARJ and, later, organizations that emerged with their 
support and influence. Surpassed this stage, from 2010, advanced to the unification of the 
national process.

Another step was the change in the principles of the FAO adopted in 2010, when the axes 
organization and social integration were deepened. It was decided to adopt Especifismo as 
a form of anarchist organization for groups and FAO organizations, establishing political 
and ideological principles that defined both anarchism, as this organizational option. To 
this end, the National Meeting revised the FAO definition establishing its principles and 
strategy to be defended by reviewing their commitments. The approval of an Organic Charter 
enabled regulate the functioning of the FAO, allowing an organic deepening, establishing 
rights and obligations for participants in this national organizational instance.

Obtained the social and political deepening organic to establish a "joint committee of the 
FAO organizations, with periodic deliberative meetings from base delegations. Are held 
visits and regular meetings between organizations, which provide an approach in relations 
and a gain for the national project. It aims to strengthen political formation, with the 
holding of local seminars, and the integration of social work, with constant reports and 
the beginning of broader coordination of establishment for the basic work at the national 
level. "

Finally, in 2012, the resolution for the work that would have to be undertaken in order to 
establish the CAB in the June congress of that year was established. "At the political 
level, the establishment of the Coordination Brazilian Anarchist, with nine states being 
integrated and with others in the process of articulation. Deepened political training, 
national and international relations, organization and propaganda. Deepened the climate of 
discussion and program. In social, they narrowed the contacts between social work fronts 
and discuss common ways for intervention in the popular movements ".
The CAB took as its task to pave the way for the construction of a national organization 
of especifista anarchism and in the future become a Brazilian anarchist confederation. In 
its short history these three years, aware of the great challenges facing a situation with 
significant increase of reactionary forces, continues its path of struggle alongside the 
specific organizations that integrates and social movements, towards popular power.

The day of mobilization of Saturday, April 9 did not bring down more people in the street 
March 31 but allowed to bring in processions a slightly different population less 
accustomed trade union demonstrations. This was partly the goal. ---- millions of people 
see we would have preferred course but do not despair as long as an event on a Saturday 
during the school holidays is always a gamble. One thing is certain: this withdrawal event 
from the previous does not sign the end of the movement, although the government is trying 
by all means to reduce mobilization. ---- First, the government continues to suppress 
harshly all forms of dissent, and especially pupils and students processions, which are 
frequently responsible, beaten and gassed by police. April 9 in Rennes, over 40 protesters 
and demonstrators, mostly young, have been victims of police violence while that same day 
in Paris is the whole event that police blocked access to the Place de la Nation by firing 
dozens of tear gas and multiplying provocations or intimidation. Arrests, prosecutions and 
convictions are beginning to rain.

At the same time, the government is trying to neutralize the mobilization of student youth 
by making many promises: revaluation of scholarships and maintenance of their payment 4 
months after graduation,

establishment of a rental guarantee for precarious under 30 years
overtaxation CDD (actually an announcement effect, as this remains a matter of 
negotiations on unemployment insurance being between employers and unions)
opening of the universal health coverage to young out with family,
revaluation of the compensation of art apprentice with state money (as it is the bosses 
who should put their hands in the pocket) and opening 2,000 additional places in BTS ...
We can criticize the opportunism of these measures to numb the anger of schoolboy-es and 
of Students but it also proves that the struggle pays. The student unions and students 
received by the Prime Minister rushed to greet all these gestures maintaining their call 
for mobilization until the withdrawal of the bill ... but without mentioning the dates 
selected by the national student Coordination (CNE).

Or is it democratic and self-management framework is needed today to strengthen and 
promote to enable it to play its role. On April 14, the CNE called for a new day of 
demonstrations and April 20 mobilization is still on the agenda. These dates help maintain 
the motion until the next big inter-day strike planned on 28 April.

By April 28, we must intensify the mobilization by all means: mass mailings of leaflets in 
business and industrial areas, railway stations and shopping centers, with banners 
deployments on major roads or places symbolic, cutting through the streets with cars sound 
system, with occupations of squares by operations of dams and locks.

The popularization of the strike and the slogan of the economy blocking is the most urgent 
task and we must tackle it wherever possible: in our union structures (including through 
spreading the call "It blocks all " including a national meeting of the signatories will 
be held on April 23 ), in our businesses around us, but also in our cities by going to 
wear speech in" Nights standing "that multiply throughout the country.

The "standing Nights" are very different depending on the cities. Sometimes they bring 
together people of all backgrounds who are ready to mobilize against the law "work" and 
beyond, as in the Paris region (Paris and #Banlieuedebout ). In other cities the law 
"work" is not at the center and it is above all to come together to discuss, which would 
not be criticized as such ... if there was not a social movement underway to build. That 
is why we must actively encourage actions that are taking place and continue to build 
bridges between these assemblies and the social movement. The balance of power is built 
primarily in companies, by the strike, but the proliferation of neighborhood assemblies 
can help to anchor the movement in the territories and to diversify the forms of action.

This would participate to restore desire and confidence in collective action. Them want to 
continue the strike April 29 and continue this momentum until May 1 and May 3 opening date 
for debate on the law "work" in the National Assembly.

When somebody named ‘John Doe’ accessed the computers of the Panamanian law firm Mossack 
Fonseca in early 2015 the hacker began to pass on the estimated 11.5 million confidential 
documents that had been obtained to the German newspaper Süddeutsches Zeitung. On April 
1st, 2016, Mossack Fonseca announced their computers had been hacked. Two days later these 
documents were released to hundreds of journalists around the world. They were immediately 
dubbed the Panama Papers. ---- What the Panama Papers detailed was the operations of 
around 214,000 offshore companies. While offshore companies, in themselves, are not 
illegal they revealed how many of these companies shell companies that hid a lot of seedy 
activities were. ---- Before continuing it’s important to explain what a shell company is. 
Shell companies are basically companies in name only which usually have only the absolute 
minimum number of people required for a company to be registered. They are usually 
registered in countries and territories where tax is either very low or non-existent.

They are also most often registered in countries where the laws about money laundering and 
other illegal financial transactions are either poor or absent or where financial 
transactions are treated as strictly confidential.

This is the reason why so many of these businesses are registered in places like the 
British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. Among many of the things these 
shell companies were used for was drug trafficking, fraud, money laundering and tax evasion.

What has shocked a lot of people has been the number of current and former political 
leaders, their families and associates that have been connected to these companies 
including members of the elite from just about every country in the alphabet from 
Azerbaijan to Zambia.
In addition, many of the people whose affairs were dealt with by this law firm included 
sports stars and sports administrators, including those involved with the scandal and 
corruption riddled International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and Union of 
European Football Associations (UEFA).

The Panama Papers additionally revealed that Mossack Fonseca also dealt with many clients 
who were subject to international sanctions, particularly from North Korea and Syria. Many 
illegal transactions were carried out through companies managed by this company in open 
defiance of international laws and sanctions, including the supply of materials used to 
develop North Korea’s nuclear programme and armaments industry.

Not even celebrities have kept their hands clean. Mossack Fonseca had also handled the 
finances of many top Bollywood and Latin American celebrities and the internationally 
famous actor Jackie Chan.

As the revelations from the Panama Papers became available to the general public, 
Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Davið Gunnlaugsson was forced to resign after a protest 
involving over 20,000 people marched on parliament. (To put this in context that would be 
the equivalent of a million people marching on Parliament in London.)

As the result of the Panama Papers there has been an immediate reaction from over forty 
countries that were named in these documents. In some, the people and businesses 
implicated by these documents denied or tried to play down the allegations but others have 
launched inquiries into the business transactions of those individuals and/or businesses 
named. One of those nations named is New Zealand.
Aotearoa has been identified as a soft spot for money laundering and other illegal 
transactions because of the tendency of people to assume that New Zealand is not important 
on the international financial scene.
Surprisingly, very few Americans have been implicated thus far but this is not likely to 
last and the Süddeutsches Zeitung has announced that more details are to follow.

What is most surprising about the Panama Papers detailing the activities of offshore and 
shell companies and the law firm that has helped political and other elites to commit 
fraud, avoid tax, traffic drugs and so on, is that nothing that has been revealed is new. 
It has been common knowledge that this has been standard practice for many decades. If 
there is anything that does stand out it is the truly ubiquitous nature of these practices 
and the range of people involved in them. The list of individuals named is a roll-call of 
the world’s elites in politics, sports and business. Many of these people are ones who are 
already well known as scumbags but many others have come from countries that we would not 
automatically associate with tax evasion and fraud like Iceland.

As anarchists we have no delusions about political elites. Just because a person lives in 
a country like Iceland or Spain it doesn’t mean the political and other elites that lord 
over them is any more accountable or less corrupted by power than more famously shady 
places. It has become common for many to assume that widespread corruption is the preserve 
of economically underdeveloped nations and/or places with explicitly authoritarian 
regimes. Thus, when it is revealed that corruption exists in countries supposedly as 
‘nice’ as Iceland, it comes as quite a shock.
But why should such revelations be such a shock?

It may be a cliché but it is also true that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts 
absolutely. The hacked documents from Mossack Fonseca has merely confirmed this basic 
principle. As soon as people get a whiff of power and influence they will often milk it 
for all that is worth. The scale and level of participation may differ relative to others 
but New Zealand is not immune to this. At the grassroots level many have accepted cronyism 
and nepotism as an essential part of doing business. “So-and-so can get you this and that 
at mates rates” and “I have a cousin who can put in a word for you at his firm etc.” but 
we tend to shy away from using the word “corruption” to describe this. However, the Panama 
Papers have gone further up the food chain and stated that a number of the offshore and 
shell companies used by the elites to evade tax and other nefarious financial transactions 
have been registered here. As yet nobody here has been named.

For the most part, what is most telling about the Panama Papers isn’t what they state. 
It’s no secret that all sorts of dirty dealings have been done through offshore and shell 
companies. It’s been the reaction to what has been revealed. While investigations have 
been launched in some countries the reaction of many of those implicated in shady dealings 
through Mossack Fonseca has been to either deny them or to claim that no laws have been 
broken and that it’s just business as normal.
Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, denied all such 
charges via her official Twitter account in a series of tweets, saying:
As stated earlier, I do NOT own any company/property abroad. My brother has made me a 
trustee in one of his corporations which only entitles me to distribute assets to my 
brother Hussain’s family/children if needed. Nothing more than what my brother has already 
explained. The info provided by leaks does NOT say any wrongdoing involved. Distortion is 
wilful that a couple of media channels using to settle scores.
Notice a theme we often hear when the ruling elites and their families are caught out? 
They blame the media of “settling scores”. They deny any wrongdoing and justify what they 
are doing as “business as usual”.

The problem is that people at the bottom end of society are fed up with hearing this 
rubbish. Years of wage freezes and cuts, job losses and austerity measures such as tax 
hikes for low to middle income earners has hit most people hard. The one thing they don’t 
want to hear is a bunch of money laundering cheats and fraudsters whose incomes are more 
often than not funded by taxpayers, telling them that it’s just “business as usual”. This 
has been one of the reasons why the leaked documents has triggered so many investigations 
in so many countries.
Although it is unlikely to result in anything of substance happening – the elites will 
simply change the laws of the land to suit themselves – they have to be seen to be doing 
something so there will be the odd sacrificial lamb handed over to the masses. Hence the 
why Sigmundur Davið Gunnlaugsson was forced to step down.

While these sacrifices will be celebrated it will not result in changes of any substance 
as money has always talked louder than the will of the people under the economic system we 
live under. Once the uproar has died down, token laws have been passed and a few people 
thrown in jail to pacify the masses, things will return to normal. That is, offshore and 
shell companies will still continue to be administered by law firms that specialise in 
helping them to launder money, get away with fraud, traffic drugs and evade taxes.

For the moment we can watch the entertaining spectacle of the elite throwing one of their 
own to the wolves but will things really change? Without the active participation by 
millions of ‘ordinary’ people in a transnational movement to fundamentally overturn this 
system, the answer is no.

The 51st Congress of the CGT is in preparation in the climate of crisis running since the 
ousting of Thierry Lepaon. If the challenge is to recover from the fighting in the unions 
of the confederation, the preparatory documents show the way on this path will be 
difficult. ---- End next April will be held in Marseille, the 51st congress of the CGT. 
Preparation is under way for several months, and convention texts fell early in the year. 
Documents submitted to the trade unions to form a wobbly synthesis and hollow. The texts 
are trying to satisfy all the sensitivities (or almost). Everything is about inamendable. 
The preparatory debates, the selection of delegates and the election of the new confederal 
executive commission (CEC) they will give an impetus "to the left" of the main working 
confederation? The general strike that carry the most combative sectors she will invite in 
the debates?

The vote of the activity report

Number of militants and activists recognize critical progress in the postures adopted by 
Philippe Martinez after years Thibault / Lepaon: found in businesses struggle accessible. 
By boycotting the social conference, he gave a pledge of independence and clarity 
vis-à-vis the government.

Activists are shared between es vote against the report of activity since the period 
includes the case Lepaon and benevolent abstention to give encouragement to what they hope 
will be a new sustainable line of the confederation. But as the document has no serious 
criticism (the team around Martinez is the same as that which surrounded Lepaon), it is 
likely that the rejection of the interim report to peak!

At the head of the CGT since March 2015, Philippe Martinez, from the Federation of 
metallurgy, succeeds Thierry Lepaon, party in a sulfur smell.
The guidance

On an unbearable length, chatty and hollow, he would only have to vote on the preamble in 
the hope that it is actually read. We find the right words to please everyone! To give 
pledges to the left, the class struggle and social transformation of unionism is mentioned 
a hundred times, as writers are the "name dropping" without ever given them any content.

The term "capitalism" is almost missing it. And when rightly, the document recalls that 
unionism can not be "apolitical", is to clarify that the CGT should have relations with 
"the Republican political forces" excluding the FN. Without specifying whether it sees any 
difference between Sarkozy, Hollande and Besancenot! And this is not a detail when, for 
some, intervene in political debates just means the return to the highlighting of the CPF 
and its elected ...

The question of unity is not clearer. It is stated that the search for unity must not lead 
to lower content or protest to halt the struggles. Good. But the formula of "syndicalism 
gathered" which symbolizes the privileged axis with the CFDT remains in the document a 
formula considered positive ... And, again, no analysis, no reflection on the trajectory 
of other confederations and prospects: no difference is made between the CFDT and the CNT ...

Just can we identify a formulation that probably condemns Solidaires and CNT together 
coordinations but never mention.

blank check to superbureaucracy?

The ambitions of UGICT (union unionized executives CGT) reflected on all floors. No one 
can be against union executives. But how do wage earners like the others? No reflection on 
their belt transmission function of the employers orders!

In real life of a company, the rare executive who is willing to join a union "class 
struggle" will be both in the "workers' union in a separate structure. Besides, it's all 
text that seems written by members of the public service, far away from everyday reality 
militant little boxes private.

Democracy is also the subject of total confusion. On the one hand the union is upgraded as 
a basic structure and the union must be decider but then they must accept the decisions of 
wage earners. Dangerous in the context of a referendum to validate minority agree!

Social democracy is the new formulation that replaces the traditional tandem union 
democracy / workers' democracy. The term social democracy is also used to speak of social 
dialogue, far from the class struggle! Finally pretext of adapting the regional structures 
to the new administrative realities, Congress is supposed to decide a major change of 
status of regional committees by entrusting the 52nd Congress the task of deciding the 
precise forms.

Some fear a blank check to a superbureaucracy , far from revitalizing unions but also 
threats carrier for local and departmental unions, nearby structures threatened by the 
project.

The 50th congress of the CGT was held in Toulouse in 2013.
The balance sheets of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the International 
Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) are presented in a very favorable light. This opens the 
door for those who want the CGT returns to the WSF. Our rather carrying voice over a CGT 
commitment to live an international network (without leaving ETUC and ITUC) combative 
confederations whatever their international affiliation will not easily audible in a clash 
that will be caricature and ideological between supporters of the WSF and those of the ITUC.

As for the general strike, and while the conference will be held simultaneously with the 
parliamentary debate on the reform of the labor code, the combative sectors and not least 
try to make a concrete subject. The countryside around Goodyear plays a unifying role in 
this respect.

Last unknown if the election of the Secretary General should not be a problem, measurement 
of sensitivities in the composition of the CEC future could be explosive. It will in any 
case crucial to understand whether the CGT finally emerging from its strategic crisis or 
the balancing act is revived for three years.
