Invitation for coordinating our moves towards the mobilisations against G8

Invitation for coordinating our moves towards the mobilisations against G8

We ‘ve already being in contact with various comrades from different
groups in Germany about organising public meetings with the aim of
informing people in Greece about the upcoming mobilisations in Germany
against the summit of the group of the 8 most powerful states of globe.

The result until now is very confusing for us… We are told of two groups
coming on different dates in Greece (one in March and the other in April),
but we do not have a clear and straightforward answer until now. We have
expressed our will to organise such public meetings in order to mobilize
people from Greece to come in Germany. This means that we can undertake
the propaganda material for the meetings, the spaces (usually university
buildings or social centres), the internal traveling and hospitality etc.

The success of such public meetings is a prerequisite for us in order to
be able to undertake the work for mobilizing people to travel organised in
Germany, and not just as individuals which is possible without any
political and practical preparatory effort. And by traveling organised we
mean that after the end of the meetings and up until the summit we can use
the centres of our local assemblies as infopoints for the counter-summit,
and then if we manage to mobilise enough people to organise the means to
travel collectively (the last time this happened was in Genoa where there
was a convoy of 17 buses from Greece, organised by an array of different
groups, organisations and parties).

Our immediate goal is a collective coordination with our international
comrades for the success of blocking the G8 during this specific summit.
But we have to stress once more that our long-term aims are going beyond
the spectacle of a countersummit. These aims were already expressed in a
previous email we’ve sent out:

“The moments of direct action and confrontation in Prague, Genoa ,
Brussels , Seville and Evian were not adequate for us. There we didn’t
have enough time for dialogue and future organising. We believe that the
increasingly global shape of totalitarianism cannot be combated by
organising the Resistance only on a national basis. That’s why we would
like to see something international to be organised, not just a good demo
and some street battles.

In this context we would like to invite people from different “political
platforms” in Germany so as to come here in Greece and have a series of
public discussions all over Greece (at least in the six cities where we
have local assemblies) about the situation in Germany with the G8
mobilisations, and about any plans on coordinating on a permanent basis.
Furthermore we believe that this will mobilize more people in order to
travel to Rostock.”

We would like to know if there are any groups, organisations or alliances
which share common political intentions, and could send some people.
