[fse-esf] IMPORTANT: Lisbon declarations

[Sven Giegold]

>Dear colleagues,

faced with the "Berlin Declaration" of the EU governments, and
considering the danger of losing the positive effects of the
No in France and the Netherlands, the participants of the EPA in
Lisbon have drafted the attached declaration.

In order to correct spelling mistakes and collect more signatures, the
final list of "first signatories" will be finished on Monday, 5 pm CET.

Please, send an e-mail to me if:

* you want to correct spelling mistakes

* you or your organisation has participated the EPA and want to sign
the declaration

* you have not participated the EPA and want to be listed as
"supporting organisation"

In any case, send me the correct name, country, organisation.

Mit vielen Grüßen
Sven                                mailto:giegold at attac.de

>Lisbon Declaration for a democratic Europe

The European Social Forum (ESF) has become the largest trans-European
space for democratic, social, feminist and sustainable alternatives.
The discussion on the democratic deficit of the European institutions
and the elaboration of European demands and campaigns of social
movements and civil society has gained more and more importance in the
ESF process.

We, participants of the European Preparatory Assembly (EPA) of the ESF
in Lisbon, consider that the “Berlin Declaration” by the governments
of the EU member states aims to impose a new EU Treaty without public
debate and democratic decision of the people.

This method, which excludes the peoples from their right to decide
about their future and the future of the Union, will continue a
neoliberal, military and anti-democratic European Union. It is this
Europe that was rejected after an extensive public debate by the No
votes in France and the Netherlands.

We, participants of the EPA, demand that the citizens of Europe should
decide about their future through a truly democratic discussion whose
result has to be agreed by referendums. Faced with the “Berlin
Declaration” we call for trans-European mobilisation for a democratic
Europe, a Europe of social rights for a sustainable life, a peaceful
Europe in solidarity with all the peoples of the world, a Europe
responding forcefully to the global ecological crisis.
