Verzamelde berichten vakbondsdemo Brussel 15/12
ZapHa - 13.12.2001 16:16

5 verzamelde korte berichten van Indymedia Belgie over de vakbondsdemo in Brussel. (server is zeer slecht bereikbaar af en toe, of zelfs niet)
-Massaal toestroom naar Brussel - / -Sabéniens nemen kop van de betoging- / -Interviews from within the demo with foreign trade unionists- / -ruim 70.000 betogers- / -Nieuws uit de vakbondsbetoging-





-Massaal toestroom naar Brussel -
 http://belgium.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=12958&group=webcast

Uit heel het land en uit de buurlanden stromen de betogers voor de vakbondsbetoging
toe. 10,000 Fransen zijn met de trein naar BRUSSEL afgezakt en rond 12 uur waren
er al zo´n 43 bussen van de vakbond gepasseerd op de E19.

De betoging MANIEF van de vakbonden vandaag in Brussel lijkt een zeer groot succes te worden. Vanuit heel het
land stromen duizenden mensen toe. Zelf konden we zien hoe rond 12uur op de E19 aan de parking van Vilvoorde
al 43 bussen in kolonne naar Brussel waren vertrokken. Het ging om mensen uit regio Antwerpen, Mechelen, de
Kempen en delegaties uit NEDERLAND. De delegees die op de parking voor het onthaal instonden hadden ook al
PORTUGEZEN, POLEN en DUITSERS zien voorbijkomen.
Vanuit Frankrijk zijn zo´n 10,000 betogers afgezakt per trein naar Brussel. We merkten heelwat leden van de CGT
op uit Noord-Frankrijk.
Een prima aanzet voor de betoging.

Ex-Sabena-werknemers nemen de kop van de betoging. Allereerste indrukken van de vakbondsbetoging.

Enkele honderden Sabéniens, met onder meer de deleguee Maria Vindevoghel, nemen de kop van de
vakbondsbetoging. Leden van de Griekse vakbond PAME sluiten zich bij hen aan. De Sabéniens dragen een groot
zelfgemaakt vliegtuig.
Een reporter meldde ons dat op een andere plaats in de betoging de vakbondslui van Caterpillar de kop nemen.



-Interviews from within the demo with foreign trade unionists-
 http://belgium.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=12972&group=webcast

Apart from the giant blocks formed by the 4 Belgian trade unions, the many foreign
delegations catch the eye. Armed with paper and something to write (the oldfashioned
way)in the freezing cold I briefly interview some of the foreign delegations. A brief
report...

Fernando Mauricio and 100 others from the Portuguese trade union CGTP are hear to demonstrate for a Europe of
the citizens. They also want to defend the workers´ rights because they´re threatened by the EU. They´ll will leave
this evening so they won´t participate in the actions during the following days.
Francine Didilot and the 800 other demonstrators from French CFDT also came to defend the social rights. They also gonna leave this evening.
Mustafa came with some 60 Turkish migrants who live in Germany. He strongly opposes against privatisations, the IMF and the capitalist globalisation.
Gérard Bonin is a member of French CGT. They came with 600 demonstrators. He´s sure that Europa as designed by the EU won´t be a social one. Asked about his point of view on Sabena, he says that in his union the workers
themselves decide on what the unionpolicy is gonna be. They decide and not the big bosses of the union.



-minimaal 70.000 betogers-
 http://belgium.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=12981&group=webcast

In een eerste reactie spreekt de vakbondstop van ruim 70.000 betogers op de
vakbondsbetoging.

Vakbondsbetoging is een gigantisch succes. Ruim 70.000 betogers trekken door de straten van Brussel tegen het
asociale Europa.
De kop van de betoging heeft ondertussen al een tijdje het eindpunt bereikt, maar aan het vertrekpunt in Bockstael
vertrekken nog altijd vele duizenden mensen.


-Nieuws uit de vakbondsbetoging-
 http://belgium.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=12979&group=webcast

Brandweermannen met brandweerwagen hebben zich daarstraks bij de betoginggevoegd.

Ondertussen blijven duizenden mensen toestromen van vele diverse nationaliteiten:
Kroaten, Polen, Slovenen, Hongaren, Grieken, Italianen, Spanjaarden,...

-kort berichtje vanuit de chat-

De Duitse politie voert de hele dag al zware controles uitvoert voor de grens (op bussen met activisten), controles al op 30 kilometer voor de grens. Zelfs bussen vol met vakbondsleden werden gecontroleerd.Zeker is dat minstens 5 mensen teruggestuurd zijn (door de Duitse politie).

Four sambistas went to mow
 http://belgium.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=12985&group=webcast

First day of actions against the EU Summit in Brussels

4 errant drummers fron UK Rhythms of Resistance samba band arrived in Brussels last night to add our musical
accompaniment to the planned actions from Dec 14th until 16th. Having found ourselves a nice big squat to crash in
(albeit replete with numerous Globalise Resistors), we set out this morning to explore a bit more of Brussels and check
out the Trade Union demo organised for today.

There are reportedly about 80,000 participants from all over north and southern Europe (incl a unemployed workers
union!) and a load of sound systems playing dodgy euro pop and soft rock. Despite our sadly depleted numbers (due to
some of ROR Amsterdam being deported yesterday and having their instruments impounded after an anti-biotech
lobbying action yesterday morning), we managed to find a elderly Belgian trumpeter and 2 harmonica players with whom to bash out some toonz.

Leaving due to extreme cold and lack of diversity on demo (tho the odd black blocker spotted from afar), we are planning to link up with new arrivals later from ROR Ghent, Amsterdam (who are returning after their untimely deportation) and Nijmegen. The plan being to play at the big anti-EU summit/anti-war demo tomorrow afternoon and again on Sat at the planned anti-capitalist street party + anarchist demo + another anti-war demo. Guess with the amount of things happening, we´re looking forward to some support from the Belgian beer + waffle industry!

Some other news is that the Brussels police have been very heavy handed with demonstrators, deporting people
responsible for actions without even charging them first and impounding all possessions (sleeping bags, drums etc). It
has been said that people have been deported from here to Sweden, Holland and Algeria.

If anyone is hoping to come play at any of these events or wants to meet up, we will be staying at the squatted university building near to Ettebeek train station, bus nos 95/96 from the old train station in Placez de Luxembourg.
