Smash the WEF in Salzburg
antiwef - 06.07.2002 14:36

-

The antiwef-coordination is a loose network of individuals, autonomous groups and collectives that teamed up to mobilize together against the WEF in Salzburg and to show resistance.

Also because of the sustained repression directed against activists of the previous action days the necessity of protests is still current.
At present more than 113 reports run towards presumed participants in the officially prohibited demonstration on 1st july 2001.
Apart from acquittals several fines have been imposed.

The antiwef-coordination makes out no use in trying to carry on a dialogue with the WEF because its complete lacking of legitimacy. The WEF is an elite that usurps
to make decisions over the heads of the affected people. In doing so effects on e.g. social and ecological level are ignored.
Due to the intensity of the global protest movement the WEF was forced to carry on a dialogue with organisations, groups and individuals.
Concessions to NGO´s on the one hand serve to polishing the image and on the other to annexing these groups.

On the basis of the emancipatory approach of the antiwef-coordination the question of reformating the WEF does not arise since the WEF as an organisation is not the basic problem.
Profitorientation in general does not comply with the needs of humans, environment and animals but it functions by penetrating all spheres of life.
The continuous integration of alternatives seems to impossily the idea of a life avoiding the strive for profit.

To protest against the WEF and its embeding inside complex proportions of power the antiwef coordination prepares days of action during the time from 12.-19. september 2002.
On the occasion the occupation with the personal role within the given context shall be given special emphasis.
During the days of action different aspects such as gender, migration and systems of representation are to be a topic and there will be room to a versatile dealing with.

The antiwef coordination is going to distribute press releases in irregular intervals. Furthermore there are
informations on

http://www.antiwef.org available concerning the counteractivities on the occasion of the WEF summit in Salzburg.

media@antiwef.org serves as an adress to turn on for pressinterests.
