CALL FOR SOLIDARITY AND ACTION!



In Slovenia lately we are witnessing the new wave of intolerance and
xenophobia, their objects are those, who are trying to find decent
life in the world of the rich. People in local communities are already
organising  so called village watches units to defend themselves
against dangerous foreigners. The wave of xenophobia and intolerance
reached such a level, that we are facing the menace of temptation to
organise and manipulate those irrational fears  that means fascism. 

For such a situation, it is not hard to find those, who are
responsible. The State with its politics and the media's irresponsible
coverage of the problem. The state for last ten years practices its
hard core neo-liberal politics which sees the people like production
factors that have to be organised in the most efficient way. Through
the optic of the prime minister, who runs the society as the account
executive, individuals are seen just as numbers or as a cost, which is
always to high. That's why the problem of migrations is interpreted as
the problem of costs and of national security. The only function that
the state  performs in these days is the police repression and open
hunt on immigrants at the border. Already the first victim (Iranian
citizen) was killed by Slovenian police. Those who are caught at the
border are deported into the overcrowded concentration centres where
the conditions are indeed inhuman. That way the costs are lower.

Media are interested only in anomalies and sensations. They are
talking about the possible diseases, about criminal acts that could be
linked to immigrants, about heroic deeds of the policemen at the
borders. 

On the other hand, European Union is pushing on Slovene authorities to
close the borders completely and to practice the Schengen agreement,
so Slovenia will be accepted to European Union.  That is why Slovenia
is pushed to stop all immigrants at the border with Croatia and detain
them, although the State is not ready and is completely incapable to
carry out this task.

All this contributes to the spread of irrational fears. The
consequences are not at all predictable and it is a high time to act.
Those are the reasons why we are organising a big manifestation in
Ljubljana :

AGAINST INTOLERANCE AND XENOPHOBIA, FOR OPEN BORDERS AND EQUAL RIGHT
FOR GLOBAL MOVEMENT.

Manifestation will take place in LJUBLJANA, 21. OF FEBRUARY on the
KONGRESNI TRG at 14 HOURS (workshops until 16 Hours). At 16 HOURS,  we
will MARCH through the city. In the EVENENIG there is a big party at
METELKOVA CITY (social centre in Ljubljana).            



FOR SOLIDARITY, AGAINST RACISM, AGAINST XENOPHOBIA, AGAINST FASCISM!
WE ARE THE RESISTANCE!
