Some people and groups from different european countries have state they are interested in a international preparation meeting as part of the mobilisation for the upcoming Nato Summit in April 2009. The meeting would involve advance coordination of the anarchist, autonomous and left-radical spectrum and would have concrete strategic agreements as the aim but it would also give the opportunity to make new and reinforce existing links and networks from past mobilisations against G8 Summits.
We strongly agree with this suggestion for different reasons and want to propose the 17th and 18th january as dates for this international meeting.
We are people from different anarchist, autonomous and radial left spectrum who mobilised together in France in preparation for the for G8 summit in Heiligendamm. After the Summit, we decided to maintain the existing connections of all involved to work on a durable network of radial left groups.
At first this was within in context of the upcoming G8 Summit in France 2011. Now we want to initiate a process for a permanent and organised resistance against global dominating power structures.
We seek a continuous process of cross-linking and asked ourselves why dissent! Networks haven't continued in some countries, even though they've been full of potential, broad and - although chaotic - very effective ?
We decided on a decentralised structure for Dissent! following the PGA-Hallmarks rather than as a “alliance” of different groups. long disagreements in France would make such an alliance rather difficult.
We recognise that Dissent! has existed solely in the context of concrete G8 preparations. It hasn't been possible to keep Dissent! active after the end of the joint mobilisation.
We see Dissent! as a process of networking which has constantly to adapt to new situations to be able to react and approach on common further aims. Whether G8, NATO or the joint collapse of the European security architecture.....
The broad mobilisation against the NATO Summit 2009 is a great chance for another international networking of anarchistic and autonomous people.
Therefore, we are convinced of the need of this gathering.
We haven't committed to use the name Dissent yet, so we don't want to give that impression in this invitation or in the process resulting of this meeting.
Nevertheless we do want explicitly invite those who have identified with the aims of Dissent! in past mobilisatons.
This meeting is meant to give us the opportunity to coordinate and prepare our actions for april 2009 and to start a discussion on how we can become a permanent and international network capable of action and reaction.
The world is changing every day: Europe arms itself on all levels for the coming climate change, war abroad. This is shown in the way it manages resources ressources. The gates to Europe are closed, the security regime is tightening up and the global financial crisis is not knocking on the door – it has stepped inside.....
an informative invitation and a proposal for a Agenda will follow in different languages !
It would be very useful if people could send us their ideas and proposals for the Agenda of this weekends. You can find the mailadress and publix key below.
