[fse-esf] From SISSY VOVOU, ATHENS

[Sissy Vovou]

Dear all,
I sent two days ago the mail that follows as a reply to my sister and friend
Mariangela from Britain, intending to reach all recepients of the list.
Obviously, it reached only Mariangela.
Since I believe it really has a more general interest, I send it again.

Everything is turned upside down, it seems. Dear Mariangela and other
comrades of the list. Many of our comrades had to have doctor's treatment
for overworking themselves for organising the ESF.
First, for putting up all these gigantic in relation to our forces,
constructions and facilities, infrastructure, budgets, welcoming the foreign
comrades and arranging for their stay. All the work started 6 weeks before
the Forum.
Second, for handling the forum, for selling drinks and sandwitches, for
guarding the gates for the tickets, for preparing the big banners for the
Forum etc.
Third, for putting down everything after the end of the Forum. The work is
continuing until this day, Thursday.
We didn't see any Petros or any other person from their tendency doing any
small work for the Forum, let alone big work. On the contrary, we saw quite
a few attacking the incoming people for selling their papers.
Dear Mariangela, and dear comrades of the list.
Please wish good recovery and getting back to their normal life, to
hundrends of comrades who had to work so hard for setting up the Forum, for
running it and for putting it down.
Best wishes to all of you, and most of all to all the comrades who mde this
Forum a reality. Petros and the political tendency he belongs to, have been
negative for organising the Forum in Greece, have given hell to all the
broad preparation meetings, and now they want to give more hell. It is a
political habit alien to constructive work for the Social Forum.
