Questo è il documento che chiama a una serie di mobilitazioni a livello
europeo (in vista del meeting dei ministri dell'istruzione Europea di
Louvain 27 28 aprile, da non confondersi con il g8).
Un ragazzo del movimento di Barcellona era passato in questi giorni a
spiegarci meglio la cosa e la situazione a livello europeo (coord che
parte da Francia e Spagna e coinvolge, all'attuale, Germania, Danimarca,
Finlandia).
Chiedete a Marco Filoscia.

Hello guys and girls from Barcelona, Copenhagen, Helsinki or somewhere else,
The french universitary movement is a bit heterogenous... Students are not
really mobilized in Paris, but the situation is pretty different outside of
Paris. Now there is more than 40 universities blocated, and some are
occupied (Paris 13, Rouen, Rennes, Toulouse, Caen, Lyon...). Some teachers
unions are in negociations with the government to rewrite the decrets about
their status, but the large part of teachers broke with the position of the
unions and the two main national coordinations (of universities and students
coordination) revendicate the abrogation of the law of autonomous
universities (law from 2007) and now the national coordination of
universities (all delegations are composed by 5 members, teachers, students
and personnal people, of more than 120 universities and technic institutes)
asked the abrogation of a 2007's law about the privatization of public
services (RGPP, Révision générale des politiques publiques) and the
financial organic law of 2006 (Loi organique relative aux lois de finance).
It also ask to be mobilized against the Bologna process and the Lisbon
strategy, and call to act locally on 18th to 20th march against Lisbon
strategy and participate to the Louvain counter summit against Bologna. The
national student coordination is problematic cause the NPA (New
Anticapitalist Party, trotskists) and a student union (UNEF) tried to
manipulate it. They don't want to call to occupations, to open the
revendications to non-students subjects (immigration, workers...) and to do
the link between different national student movements in Europe.
The "active strike" (alternative lessons, etc.) is failed, and now many
teachers want a radicalization of the movement, with occupations and
blocage. Student coordination call to take streets in non legal
demonstrations. These last days, we did intrusions in many train stations to
block the traffic, two times in Paris, in Poitiers, Strasbourg... in Rennes
students did occupation of a hospital in restructuration to struggle with
workers. There has been some autoreduction (collective take of food in
supermarkets to redistibuate it in immigrant occupations or to organize some
banquets in popular quarters) in Paris (two times), Rouen, Rennes,
Toulouse...
The police was really agressive these last days. Some students are at
hospital and many have been arrested. All our struggles are reprimed. Tell
us if there is similar things in your country
I saw there was the first begin of social movement in Lituania until the
fall of authoritarian communism, in the universities. They did a demo, and
were 3000 (it's really new in this country) !
In some univerties, international commissions begun to be created.
Very important !
On 27th march, we'll organize a day about european struggles in a social
center in Paris (debates, free music, improvisation theater). It would be
really great if some of you could come to Paris. We can house you (maybe in
some appartments or in an occupation). After the week end will go to the
NATO counter summit (1st to 4th april) in Strasbourg for free. Tell us if
you could come.
