1st of May:  General assemblies of workers!

The 1^st of May is International Workers’ Day.  In many of the world’s cities millions of us will gather to demonstrate in defence of our rights.

For thirty years now, the deconstruction of the welfare state has been underway. Each successive government has worked hand in glove with the financial markets, submitted to their will – and likewise bent us to their will.

Updates from Portugal for #12m15m

MAY12

There will be actions on the May12 in Porto, Coimbra, Santarém and Lisboa, and it seems that there are people in Évora already organizing something too. In Leiria, Braga, Aveiro, Faro and Vila Real is possible that someone or some group comes up with a demo, but I didn’t find any information yet.

There have been already two assemblies to prepare the May12 in Lisbon (in which several groups are participating and finally managing to work together!), one in Coimbra and another in Porto. This saturday there will be assemblies in Lisbon and Coimbra to (I hope) define the final plans (or almost) for the May12.

As soon as there are definitive information about the different protests I will let you know. For now, I leave here the link for the protest in Santarém: https://www.facebook.com/events/361011567273888/

Low Lives launches new program in partnership with Occupy With Art and The Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics.

On March 3rd, 2012, Low Lives: Occupy! an international platform designed to enable artists, audiences, and presenters in alliance with the Occupy movement to support the occupation, will transmit live performances, actions, and happenings online as they occur in real time around the world. Participating artists, artist collectives, Occupy groups, and presenters worldwide will expand the reach and visibility of the Occupy protests by broadcasting to an international community and audiences. The Occupy protests, and the myriad of perspectives and experiences related to this unique moment, will be amplified, explored, and experimented with, through Low Lives’ internet-based creative platform. Low Lives: Occupy! recognizes the powerful opportunity that is the presentation of performances from around the world, and invites artists to open eyes and minds by presenting a radical re-imagining of possible ways of existing and relating.

Los “indignados” lusos vuelven a protestar contra la austeridad.

Más de un millar de “indignados” lusos regresaron hoy a las protestas en Lisboa contra las medidas de austeridad del Gobierno conservador portugués, que cumple un duro programa de recortes a cambio de recibir un préstamo internacional.

La concentración, que transcurrió entre la céntrica plaza de Marqués de Pombal hasta el Parlamento luso en Sao Bento, registró leves incidentes entre el grueso de la manifestación y un pequeño grupo de cariz nacionalista. La policía anti-disturbios tuvo que intervenir para calmar los ánimos y evitar mayores confrontaciones.

La llamada plataforma social “15 de octubre”, heredera del movimiento luso “Geracao á rasca” (Generación en apuros), encabezó la marcha que llevó mensajes contra el pago de la deuda y los recortes sociales. Entre ellos, destacaron algunos alusivos a unas recientes declaraciones del presidente portugués, Aníbal Cavaco Silva, quien comentó que las pensiones que acumula (1.300 euros mensuales, según sus cálculos) “casi seguro que no van a ser suficiente para pagar” sus gastos. “¡Cavaco pobrecillo! Puedes emigrar”, se leyó en algunos carteles de los participantes, quienes justificaron sus duras críticas a las manifestaciones del Jefe de Estado al considerarlas inoportunas por existir jubilados que apenas ganan 400 euros en Portugal.

[ENG/ESP/POR/ITA]

On january 14th 2012, activists, integrated or not in several Popular Assemblies and other groups, gathered for the First National Meeting of Popular Assemblies to share experiences and debate ideas and ways of intervention in the Portuguese society.

 The will to reinforce communication and cooperation among these groups resulted from this meeting.

Those present in the meeting were consensual regarding the participation in an international mobilization that will take place on May 12th. This proposal will be discussed within the several Popular Assemblies and groups, as well as within other groups that may be willing to join the mobilization.

As a conclusion, there were appeals to:

- the creation of new Popular Assemblies,

- the self-organization of the population and

- the setting of new Meetings.
