[fse-esf] IMPORTANT: Lisbon declarations

Mon Apr 2 05:29:07 CEST 2007

Dear Sven, Dear ESF List Members,

ATTAC Hungary Board will meet today and decide if we support and sign the 
Lisbon Declaration of ESF EPA. (Most probably we will sign it.)

However we wish to invite your kind attention to the fact that Endre SIMO 
signed this declaration as the "Hungarian Social Forum". He was not 
authorized to show up on behalf of the whole HSF, we protest against his 
regular immoral attitude. Please note that Attac Hungary disagrees that 
Endre Simo wants to privatize and expropriate the brandname of Hungarian 
Social Forum. This attempt is in a complete contradiction with the Porto 
Alegre Charter of Principles.

Best regards,

Matyas BENYIK
President of ATTAC-HU

>>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.
