STRUGGLE INITIATIVE -
THESSALONIKI 2003
PROGRAM OF
ACTIONS
The Struggle
Initiative ‘Thessaloniki 2003’ wants to contribute to the development of a mass
movement against the E. U. and the Greek presidency, against the war, against
capitalist-imperialist globalisation itself as well as its mechanisms, and
also against the government in our country itself, and has scheduled a course
of action. In this light, our Initiative will live and breathe
through the labour and youth struggles, the strikes of the working people and
the student movements. It will be developing within this framework and it
will be contributing to the anti-E.U., anti-capitalist, anti-imperialistic
and anti-war direction of the labour and youth struggles. Only in this way
will the struggle against the Greek presidency, the E.U. and all the
mechanisms of ‘globalisation’ have ðëåéïøçöéêÜ ÷áñáêôçñéóôéêÜ and it will be socially
grounded. Apart from this
initial activity, the Struggle Initiative ‘Thessaloniki 2003’ will also
organise events of different forms (mobilizations, protestations, workshops)
and will participate autonomously in the movements-protestations of the mass
movement. Our proposal is
addressed to: 1) fighters of independent radical groups of the labor and the youth movement and of the other
fronts (city – environment, democratic rights and freedoms, etc.). 2) To the
mass movement and its organizations (unions, student unions, base
committees). 3) To the other trends and currents that prepare activities for the meeting of the 15 in Thessaloniki. This program
seeks to set some ‘landmarks’ in the whole of the activities of the Initiative.
Apart form this, in neighborhoods, social spaces, as well as in other special
themes-fronts of action, there will be efforts for the organization of
events, for the publishing of material, etc. So, we could also discuss other
activities, as the organization of exhibitions of photographic and other
material from the international demonstrations, video projections, etc.
in cultural community centers and in Universities. Within this framework, we
are thinking on the possibility of organizing an art exhibition from
Palestine and Israel with an anti-war pro-peace content. Also, a public
discussion on local government and the E.U. which will be undertaken by the
city movements that participate in the Initiative, as well as a three-day
discussion for the big issues that arise from the capitalistic-imperialistic
globalization. We are promptly
publishing a resolution of denunciation against the Berlusconi
government and of solidarity towards the arrested members of the
‘disobedients’. On Tuesday 26/11 we call
a mobilization at the Italian embassy at 6 p.m. We fight so that labour
unions and student unions, general assemblies or administration boards will
adopt the resolution. As soon as the resolutions are assembled a solidarity
visit to Italy will be organized. On 10-15
December we organize the members of the Struggle Initiative ‘Thessaloniki
2003’ will go to Copenhagen where the summit meeting of the E.U will be
taking place, and ‘the torch will be passed’ to the Greek presidency. Our aim
is the development of international contacts especially with the movement of
northern Europe, in view of the demonstrations and the manifestations for
Thessaloniki 2003. During the same period of time we will organize events in
Athens and Thessaloniki, in the form of an open forum on the Cyprus issue on
19/12, while on 12/12 we welcome on the roads the ‘passing of the torch’ from
Denmark to Greece, by organizing anti-E.U. mobilizations that will have as
a focus the opposition-rejection of the Anann project. During the 10-days
period of 15-25/01/2003 we organize events in every city with the
theme (this will not necessarily be the title) ‘how are we going to face
the Greek presidency of the E.U’ having as a direction its
co-organization with the rest of the organized forces. If they refuse to
participate we will still do it autonomously. On Friday 24
January we organize a mobilization in the unofficial meeting for employment of
Labor Ministers in Nauplio. On 15 February
we participate in the European anti-war day of action, which is
called by the European social forum, and we propose to the unions and
students anti-war strike rallies in all cities. In the case of
earlier intervention on Iraq by the USA and its allies, we call accordingly.
Within the framework of anti-war activities we take the initiative of
organizing a pan-Hellenic mobilization ‘for the blocking of the
imperialistic war-machine’ on the base of Souda, in Crete. On 1-2 March within the
framework of the unofficial meeting of the 15 Ministers of Education in Ioannina,
we organize on the first day (Saturday) an ‘anti-meeting’ of Education
with the student formations of the EAAK (United Independent Left Wing Student
Groups) and with the independent left wing groups of teachers as well as with
the participation by the italian COBAS of teachers and the movements of
students from Spain, France, Italy. On Sunday we call in a demonstration
against the regulations of Bologna and the total anti-educational policy
of the E.U. Friday 28 March, on the
occasion of the unofficial meeting of the 15 Ministers of Justice and
Internal Affairs in Veroia we co-organize, together with the ‘Committee
against the state terrorism of government – USA – E.U.’ and the Alternative
Intervention of Lawyers (an independent left wing group of lawyers), a discussion
for the democratic rights and the popular freedoms against the
anti-terrorism laws – European anti-terrorism laws, Shengen, etc. in
Thessaloniki. 4-5-6 April
(Friday-Saturday-Sunday). Unofficial

economists and participations of European intellectuals. 10-16 April ‘Week of Action
against the E.U.’ On 12-13 April we organize in Athens and on 14-15 in
Thessaloniki an International meeting of forces against the E.U. in
the form of two-days events with the topic: ‘European completion and labor
movement’. Within the framework of this two-days event we aim to organize a
discussion with the topic ‘The struggle against Privatization in E.U.’,
by inviting trade union representatives from SABENA, from British Rail, etc. On
