Anarkistinen Toiminta - 22.08.2006 13:51
Op 10 en 11 semptember vind er een vergadering plaats in helsinki van de EU en ASEM (asiatische unie). Verder zullen er veel grote bedrijven aanwezig zijn om 'raad' te geven. Van 8 tot 10 september zal er een anarchistische tegentop zijn.
A call to protest against ASEM summit in Helsinki 9th-11th of September 2006
From 10th to 11th of September sixth ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) summit will
take place in Helsinki, it will be the biggest top level meeting ever
organized in Finland. There will be delegations from all EU countries and 13
East-Asian countries. Besides heads of the states and the governments, there
will be 2000 delegates in the summit. The priorities of the Helsinki summit
are "Support for the multilateral international system", "Addressing
security threats (including global health threats such as the avian flu) ",
"Questions related to energy security and climate change ", "Support for a
conclusion of the negotiations on the WTO/DDA", "Questions relating to
globalization, competitiveness and structural changes in the global economy"
and "Intercultural dialogue".
Blowing up 13 million euros for common portraits and noncommittal
resolutions without a doubt appears to elites of Finland and EU worth of the
price. It is hard to imagine global capitalism of today without two floor
system, where mass production is carried in countries where authoritarian
governance guarantees low cost of labor. One does not find human rights in
list of priorities of ASEM. Today EU elite does not even pretend to
influence to human rights situation in Burma, China or Vietnam, except when
blackmailing even more suitable conditions for investments. Cheaper the
consumer goods "multilateral international system" may provide to
inhabitants of the western countries, more it may allow them "democracy",
"human rights" and clean environment on an exclusive basis. It is also
crucial for elites of the western states to minimize dependency from section
of the Western labor for which it has not bearable work to offer. But during
top-level summits, we are asked to give up our illusory freedom, and to
submit to police and surveillance everywhere.
Maintaining "multilateral international system" becomes even more difficult.
We heard news about peasants and sweatshop workers rioting all around China
on almost a daily basis. The least we can do together to support them is to
bring at least a bit of disorder to streets of Helsinki as well.

(From 6th to 7th of December 2005 peasants were battling People's Army of
China in village of Dongzhou in coast of Southern China. 10-20 villagers
were killed).
In parallel to protests against ASEM, there will be an anarchist counter
summit in Helsinki from 8th to 10th of September. Registration is obligatory
