[Assembly of Restiances (SF)] Short Report: 3rd international preparatory meeting for an „Assembly of Resistances“ for CEE countries in Budapest February 2018
The international preparatory meeting for the „ASSEMBLY of RESISTANCES“ /AoR (Budapest Februaray 2018) on Sunday December 3rd in BRATISLAVA was very pruductive and successful. Comrades from 4 countries came to Bratislava (Slovakia, Hungary, Czechia, Austria), some comrades participated via SKYPE ( f.e. Sweden).
We had the following agenda:
– say hello by the comrades of Slovakia
– WSF (next in Salvador de Bahia/ Brazil March 13th -18th 2018) / (crisis of ) ESF/ „Assembly of „Resistances“ (Hermann)-
– reports from the different countries (for above all: what has been done and has to be done to inform and mobilize people for Budapest 2018?): info in -alternative- media; and for above all MEETINGS in the different countries to SPEAK/ DISCUSS with -progressive- people/ groups / organizations . What could be the points to act after Budapest COMMON and INTERNATIONAL?
– logistics in Budapest (Matyas)
– money- I spoke with Walter Baier (transform): He said „WE WILL BE THERE IN BUDAPEST 2018 AND WE SUPPORT IT“.
– next international preparatory meeting in Budapest in January.-
The main decisions after debates in a SPIRIT Of SOLIDARITY were:
– the AoR 2018 in Budapest will be on the island of Horany (when the Danube is not frozen!) or in a hotel in Ujpest (new city)
– Horany is better and cheaper but we have to evaluate concrete the situation
– we all should now intensify the info and mobilization for Budapest
– there was an agreement that for common international activities a „central umbrella“ for contents is necessary (instead of one single theme) and that below that general umbrella a certain range of important concrte themes/ slogans has to be put
– money: minimum we need is 5000 Euros; we can get it through the money which the participants of the AoR are paying; through left/ independent trade unions; left organizations and their think tanks (f.e. Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, transform!;….)
– the next international preparatory meeting will be in Budapest in the first half of January 2018
A longer PROTOCOL (made by Helga) I will mail You soon.
In solidarity
