[fse-esf] ESF Malmo Newsletter 1!

[Peter Damo]

Dear NOC Friends,

I hope you do not consider that those who receive
solidarity funding support should pay 5 Euros/day for
accommodation in tents or on the floor of sports
halls! 

As far as I remember, this has never happened! 
I think it would be completely illogical to ask from
those who applied for solidarity funding and
accomodation - PRECISLEY BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN
POSITION TO AFFORD PAYING IT - to pay for sleeping on
the floor. 

This is the same issue like the one of paying entrance
fees - which has been, fortunately, properly settled
by the NOC. Consequently, we expect a similar
treatment and settlement of things.

As far as the Romanian Social Forum delegation is
concerned, we are already facing an 800 Euros
additional payment (highway taxes, ferryboat crossing,
Oresund bridge crossing, parking place payment for the
bus, etc), which we are going to cover from internal
contributions - consequently we are NOT in position to
pay any more money for the participation for the
ESF-5.
Thanking you in advance for understanding.

Peter Damo,
Romanian Social Forum
