Fw: [fse-esf] Proposals for speakers of big events Athens ESF

[RGA]

Dear all

We think it is not a very good idea to invite Walden Bello, from
Philippines. We are agree with his participation only if you invite too some
other person from other Philippines organisation like KARAPATAN, the major
and  most militant human rights alliance working in the Philippines. Must of
his members were assassinated by the Philippine regime.

Also we propose to include in these big events some one from Latin America.
For the axis "War and Peace" we propose to include Carlos Lozano, from
Colombia, his country is involved in a cruel internal war hiding by the mass
media. For axis 1 "Neoliberalism."  we propose Amilcar Figueroa, from
Venezuela. Both will be in Athens in one of our seminars about Latin
America.

Thank you very much
Best regards
