1 354

Texto llamada a asamblea:

En el marco de las protestas europeas contra la austeridad, la deuda, la dictadura económica y la crisis sistémica a la que se nos está sometiendo y en respuesta a la convocatoria internacional de Lisboa para protestar contra la troika (Comisión Europea, Banco Central Europeo y el Fondo Monetario Internacional) JSF-Viena y Solidarity4all-Vienna han decidido participar organizando una asamblea abierta el 1 de Junio a las 16:00, en frente del MuseumsQuartier. Esta es una invitación a la discusión y el debate descentralizados y abiertos sobre lo que podemos hacer aquí en Viena. Tod+s aquell+s interesad+s en unirse a nosotr+s y a participar son bienvenid+s. Buscamos la participación de los diferentes sectores sociales involurados en la lucha común contra estas medidas y este sistema.
Desde el comienzo de la crisis, much+s de nosotr+s nos hemos visto obligad+s a dejar nuestros países debido a la situación económica actual. El trabajo precario y la inmigración económica implican graves formas de explotación y ponen de manifiesto la necesidad urgente de reaccionar, resistir y organizarse. Por ello, consideramos necesaria la creación de redes y la fusión con la sociedad civil local y otros movimientos de exiliados económicos, para luchar juntos y romper la división artificial que se ha impuesto entre los pueblos del Norte y del Sur. De esta forma queremos responder junt+s contra esta moderna forma de explotación. Por todos estos motivos hemos convocado la “Asamblea de las maletas”, una asamblea abierta, horizontal y basada en el consenso. Os invitamos a tod+s a llevar vuestras maletas y decorarlas con lemas o imágenes acerca de la crisis, la austeridad y demás cuestiones relacionadas que se os ocurran.

No al golpe de estado financiero. No debemos, no pagamos.
Desde el norte hasta el sur de Europa, vamos a tomar las calles contra la austeridad!
Todo el mundo es bienvenido!
