Proceedings of the open assembly in Den Haag on the 8th of July of 2010
Secretary: Miguel (Portugal)
There were present around 15 people.
The points for discussion were:
- Coming events.
- Working groups.
- Discuss ideas for action on the 15th of October.
- Social networks
The meeting started with a general discussion of the current economic and political situation in Europe. Ideas on actions that promote change were discussed.
One possibility of action that was discussed was to do something during strikes that are organized by unions. The pros and cons of this type of action were discussed, but no decision was taken. It was decided that more research should be done on the unions, specially on the workers which are not part of the union bureocracy, to see if there are actions which could be interesting without putting in jeopardy the independence of the movement.
Someone suggested that a list of documentaries should be placed on a wiki or other easy to reach place, such that people can get more informed on the questions surrounding debt, the current economic situation and how we it came to be. Some of the documentaries suggested were:
- Zeitgeist
- Capitalism: a love story.
- debtocracy.
- money as debt.
Social Networks: It was said that it might be useful to set up a mailing list for people that want to be informed on the actions of the collective (i.e. google groups). Regarding the platform for organization of people participating in activities, comities, etc, it was discussed that n-1 (https://n-1.cc/) might be a good option. Other social networks discussed were agora and laurea?? . There is a person in Amsterdam that organizes n-1 workshops, it was stated that it would be a good idea to organize a workshop of n-1 in Den Haag.
Action 15 October:
- Counter the perception that the countries of the south are "just having fun". A slogan could be that "we are not living above our rights". It was stated, that the language of the governments and those that defend the cuts to public services has to be put into question, since those services did not fall from the sky, they were earned by the workers in countries like Portugal, Spain or Greece with a lot of sacrifice. Essentially the public services have to be defended, for they are a hard earned right.
- Somehow address the issue of debt.
see you next wednesday 13th of July.

CALL FOR DEMONSTRATION ON SUNDAY 10 OF JULY IN AMSTERDAM
We call on everyone, who is in solidarity with the people struggling throughout the world to protest on the Dam square in Amsterdam on Sunday July 10th at 17:00.
—————————————- Open assembly in Amsterdam————————————–
Since the outburst of the financial crisis back in 2008, there is an on-going attack on the social and political rights of the people. This attack seems to be different across countries, but at a closer inspection, it becomes obvious that is actually the same. The policies of European governments, EU officials and IMF are common: budget cuts are imposed and human rights are deprived.
However, during the last months citizens around the world have been rising up. From North Africa to South Europe we have seen people taking the streets, occupying squares and starting to have people's assemblies. With the authority of the political parties and unions fading, they have started to take things in their own hands.
On Wednesday June 29th at the peaceful demonstration which took place in Syntagma square, Athens, there were numerous incidents of police brutality. More than 500 people were injured and thousands suffered breathing problems. Police acted excessively attacking even the First Aid camps and doctors. They used more than 2500 units of tear gas and made the whole city of Athens a chemical war zone. They proceeded with many illegal arrests without any reason. They acted as paramilitary groups and terrorized people by driving and walking around the city center in military formations. Only by chance there were not any casualties.
The reason for this unacceptable violence was to terrorize and prevent people from taking action against the austerity measures and the new "rescue" plan imposed by the Greek government under the command of the EU, the ECB and the IMF. The reason for implementing such a plan lies in the protection of the interests of the banks and specific economic elites. The story is the same all around the world.
We call on everyone, who is in solidarity with the people struggling throughout the world to protest on the Dam square in Amsterdam on Sunday July 10th at 17:00.

[GIO] Call-out for protest & assembly sunday at the Dam
Let's think, discuss and eventually do something for our lives!
Protest-gathering & open assembly on Sunday 10th July, 17:00, Dam Square, Amsterdam
Since the outburst of the financial crisis back in 2008, there is an on-going attack on the rights of the people. This attack may at first sight seem to be different across countries, but at a closer inspection, it becomes obvious that this attack is actually the same. The argumentation used by european governments, EU officials and IMF is quite simple, there is a crisis and to deal with the crisis, budget cuts are needed. What all these officials do not say deliberately is the reasons that led to this crisis, and what these officials do not mention is that at the same time that they are imposing austerity measures, they are supporting the banks, providing them millions of euros.
The case of Greece is quite revealing of the situation. After a year of austerity measures and a rescue plan that led into further recession and increase of unemployement rates (in March 2011, the general unemployment rate was 16.2% and 40% for the youth), nothing has been solved and Greece is in even worse state, with more loans and in need of a new rescue plan. IMF and EU officials claim that the first rescue plan was right, but the implementation was wrong. However, a closer inspection shows that this is just a lie. The Greek government, EU and IMF knew that this kind of plan has no chance to succeed (one does not even need to be an economist to foresee failure: it is enough to see what happened in countries that followed similar plans, see for example, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Equador). The reason for implementing such a plan lies in the protection of the interests of the banks and of the interests of rich Greeks. In other words, EU used the Greek crisis as an excuse in order to subsidize further the banks. And after the failure of the first rescue plan, IMF, EU and the Greek government agreed on a second rescue plan with even more budget cuts and more severe terms. According to this second rescue plan, the Greek government should use the new loan to finance previous loans, needs to impose new austerity measures, reduce the public sector, privatise education, health and transportation and sell state property. What it means to sell state property becomes clear when examining what happened with the Greek telecommunication company (OTE) and Deutsche Telecom, a couple of weeks ago, Deutsche Telecom bought 10% of OTE for €400, while in 2008, Deutsche Telecom bought 30% of OTE for 3.8 millions… The most worrying part of the story is that this second rescue plan is also condemned to failure, leading Greek economy to further recession and Greek people to poverty. Similar budget cuts are imposed upon Spain, Portugal, Italy and during the last months some cuts were announced for The Netherlands too (look for instance what is happening in the mental health sectors, the culture sector, education and the public transport sector).
We are not happy with this situation. We feel that the profits of the banks and the industries are valued more than the quality of life of the people. We want to let IMF, EU and european governments know that we do not value the profits of banks and industries. We want to let IMF, EU and the european governments know also that we do not recognise the debt of any country and that we demand that the debts of the countries are written off.We express our solidarity to the Greek people and to every person that fights against the austerity measures and dreams of a society of the people, where life will be organised on the basis of equality and on the basis of the needs of people, instead of the needs of market, nation or ruling class.
Throughout Europe we have seen people taking to the streets, occupying squares and starting to have people's assemblies. With the authority of the political parties and unions fading, they have started to take things in their own hands. Also in the Netherlands we have seen some of these assemblies taking place, initially at the Dam square in Amsterdam, but later on also in Groningen, Delft, Rotterdam, Tilburg.
We call on everyone, who is in solidarity with the people in Europe rising up and who wants to think about how to move on in the Netherlands, to join us for a protest-gathering and open assembly at the Dam Square, Amsterdam, on Sunday 10th July at 17:00.

Meeting in Den Haag Today at 18.30
The group in Den Haag is coming together today at 18'30. The meeting point is under a tree going out the centraal station direction Marieveld. It's quite easy to find. Here the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=185036238216678
There are people from Leiden and Delft that come together there. And a few people from Rotterdam started joing also in the last assembly. The assemblies are in a weekly basis, sometimes on Wednesdays, sometimes on Sundays.
The main communication mean is the Facebook group, as far as I know: https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_202620699774029 They also have a group in Agora, but not very active these days.

Plaza protest: Thusday, July 14, 19.00, Heuvel, Tilburg.Against cuts and austerity - for solidarity
Thursday, July 14, from 19.00 hour, there will be a plaza protest in Tilburg, at the Heuvel, Tilburg
---------------------------------------------
Against cuts and austerity - for solidarity
Plaza protest: Thusday, July 14, 19.00, Heuvel, Tilburg
The government cuts, the government destroys what we need for our existence. Those austerity policies themselves have to be destroyed. It is time for protest.
The PGB for many people will be stopped. People have to make bigger financial contributions for mental healthcare. Chronically sick, need help? Bad luck, see how you can manage. Need mental healthcare through GGZ? Just pay a lot extra. Fitting education, for children who need axtra attention, will be low-quality because of cuts. Orchestra's, theater companies, other art institutions will be cut back or will even have to close. VAT for tickets will rise, concerts etcetera wil be even more expensive. Jobs will be lost, choice in events wil be diminished.
Again and again, the most vulnerable people wil be hurt. Rich people will keep their tax subsidies for houses, capitalists continue to profit of tax advantages – at our expense. Money that is not availibla for care and public transport, suddenly appears for an expensive JSF fighter plane. We want this harsh austerity policies to be stopped. That is why we take action
The Netherlands does not stand alone. In Spain, there is mass unemployment, and severe cuts are imposed. In Greece, austority measures are pushing many people into deep poverty. It is blackmail: if Greece does not cut, the EU will not extend credits. Those credits don't benefit the poor Greek: they flow right back to pay back earlier debts. People in Spain and greece protest in large numbers against austerity and against their government. They give a good example, they deserve solidarity. For tht reason, too, we take action.
Therefore: come together at the Heuvelin Tiburg, on July 14, on 19.00! There will be some music, slogans will be made visible – but by all means brong your own banners, placards and other means of expression to contribute creatively to the protest. See and hear you. On the 14th of July – and please help spread this call!

Revolution solidair with squatters ! Demo tomorrow at 17.00 at the Dam
Demo Sunday 17.00 Dam
Many of us are squatting, many of us are familiar with squatting movement, all of us have benefits from.
Our struggle is one ! That's why i call that we would show our solidarity with the squatters this sunday at big demo against evictions of Schijnheilig and many others squats. Come with the our banners, baloons,leaflets and good energy and mood.
Demo this sunday at 17.00 at the dam !
General Assembly
Monday 15.00 Schijnheilig, Passeerdersgracht 23bg te Amsterdam.
Brain storm of ideas "beyond the eviction wave" - General Assembly for Squatting Movement, so another form ( but continuation ) of City Wide meetings.
Together we would like to create ideas to make some not expected steps that hopefully will improve the situation of squatting movement. Everyone may have idea about organizing for example next actions days, campaign, movie, graffiti festival, sleeping action, posters etc. Lets use the advantage that we would be many at the squatting resistance days and together brain storm those ideas, then create working groups who would like put them in to life.
By doing it more in the "spanish/dutch/world revolution" way we would like to exercise new way of meetings but also we would like to show among us the solidarity with the world wide struggle against capitalism, austerity measures and social cuts.
Why beyond eviction wave ?
First because we respect and wouldn't like to interfere in strategy what its already prepared. Second because we would like to start to create the movements what would be more offensive than defending.
With more heads we are smarter, with more hearts we are stronger, more hands are making work lighter.
Together we are power !
Solidarity is our strength !

Minutes from the meeting about benefit party
Dear all,
Yesterday ¿? we talked about the “benefit party”; though no decision was taken because we were not a lot of people, we made a suggestions list in which everyone can participate.
1) Place: Ana is going to talk with OT301 and OCCII and Paco with Joe’s garage
2) Date: Everyone wants it to be as soon as possible but it is better to make things right even if it takes a bit longer, so it has been proposed Saturday 23rd of July.
3) Posters and advertising: Mel is in charge of making posters and flyers
4) Coordination: As Julia is in charge of coordination between cities, she will continue with it, but there is a person needed for coordination with other groups (Greeks, Dutch, squatters, associations that want to participate…) and for coordination of the action itself I ¿? am doing it myself but if anyone else wants to do it just say so.
5) Street diffusion: For the moment Maria is in this group, but the more people the better.
6) Disinformation workshop: Achi is in charge of checking how to do so and which videos are we going to show (subtitles are needed).
7) Music bands: Ana will talk with Caspian, Maria with Super City and Achi with a “rumba catalana” band that she knows. Everyone is welcome to ask other bands.
The idea would be to start around 6.30-7p.m. with food, an information desk and showing the videos of the disinformation workshop. When this finishes around 10-11 p.m., start with the concerts (2-3 bands) and then go on with a jam session.
For the information desk we need:
1) A suggestions box
2) Information flyers
3) Collect e-mails to be all in contact with each other
4) Information about the existing working groups and proposals for new ones.
This is just an option, so for everyone who wants to participate, we hope to have the place for the party within this week already and make a serious meeting to specify everything, we’ll let you know.
It has also been proposed as name of the party: “We give A’Dam! (The Party)”
