PEOPLES' ASSEMBLY ON LEIDSEPLEIN:
Everyone was invited to join this assembly. All people were explained the way of communicating during this and translation was offered by volunteers. These were the points of address:

[ 1 - PARTY AT AMSTERDAM AROUND FIRST WEEKEND JULY ]
In previous Assemblies, we came to an agreement to organize a party in which we find space to screen movies, provide information for the public and find a way of connecting to other struggles, groups and peoples.
a) we need a location
There are a few options, just like Schijnheilig and 301. Suggestion is that Adriana is the central coordination. (OK) We do stay open for all
free/cheap suggestions. Anyone wanting to join this party commission, contact Adriana: [ adrianavmetropol@gmail.com - FaceBook: Adriana v Metropole]
b) funding (money)
We want to have a voluntary collection to pay for this. This also depends on more information of the location. Adrianna coordinates.
c) start now
We need to start now with the organization. No more delays. We can use all help present.
Does anybody have a beamer and laptop?
d) one party commission
Anyone wanting to join this party commission, contact Adriana: [ adrianavmetropol@gmail.com - FaceBook: Adriana v Metropole]
Adrianna is central coordination.
e) contact the Greeks
We need to contact the Greek people too, to finetune this organization.
prive.particlestudios.net is their forum.
f) flyers/publicity
At the Oosterpark ROOTS FESTIVAL, we want to be ready with flyers and publicity about this party, so we can invite all.
Ibrahim (central coordination flyers/publicity) coordinates. Contacting Ibrahim could be useful!

[ 2 - ROOTS FESTIVAL OOSTERPARK 26 JUNE ]
Ibrahim suggests move from Dam to Oosterpark on June 26. Adopted.
a) interesting festival - right audience
It is a free and non-politcal multicultural festival, with 100.000 people attending.
We meet at 12:00 noon at the entrance of the hospital.
b) information stand
We want a stand/table/flyers/representatives which explains and talks to the public. We want to talk about the movement, the Europact and the party
the next week up. Ibrahim cares for flyers, a voluntary money collection was done. Ibrahim coordinates information stand. [[note: Ibrahim also contacts
with Adrianna for the party information?]]. The information on dutchrevolution.blogspot.com is used for the flyer.
c) other flyers/copies welcome/help
Everyone in the possibility to copy or print cheap or for free. Feel free to do so. Thanks.
d) one information commission
Ibrahim coordinates. All welcome.
e) ACAMPADA/CAMP
To example of everywhere in Europe, we want to kick off that night with the first Dutch Acampada (CAMP). Bring your tents. Assemblies to be
expected in which we decide to start camping or not. We will socialize, get to know each other. Everyone welcome.
f) dutchrevolution.blogspot.com
This website will keep providing up-to-date information.

[ 3 - POLICE VIOLENCE ]
Everywhere in Europe, we find evidence of violent police.
a) film, take pictures, shoot videos, share all over
For the public opinion and for our own safety, it is wise that we document everything that happens. Videos are solid proof. Videos of actions also kep
the fire burning with our colleagues internationally. Call is to share, copy, and post as much as possible. Keep connecting to all movements in Europe.
Keep each other (all over the world) alive in spirit. Visibility is good.
b) comission Howto: talk to police.
A commission which collects information on how to approach police might be interesting. Dutch-speaking people could perhaps also gain more trust.
Idea is to organize a steward movement that has main goal: 'that no poeple get hurt'. Suggestion to have this action by action organized. (adopted.)
[note: who is focussing on this for June 26?]. Let us form a group. Also perhaps an online groups so we can share all over Europe.

[ 4 - BRUSSELS - 22 JUNE - GREAT PEOPLES' ASSEMBLY]
At the European government buildings, there is a protest on 22 JUNE. We want to go with a delegation.
a) protest and great Peoples' Assembly.
Schuman square à Bruxelles | 22 june 18:00
 https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=172511346141614
 https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=217241284965702
b) acampada/CAMP
The Belgians have a succesful CAMP in Brussels. After the protest in, we want to join the Brussel CAMP and sleep over. We want to exchange and
listen and learn about their experiences. This is useful when we start up the first Dutch CAMP the 26th.
c) transport
Everyone is welcome to join. We are still looking for cheap transportation. All suggestions welcome.
Central coordination: Louise ( dibarister@gmail.com)

[ 5 - EVERY DAY MEETING AT THE DAM]
Every day is protest meeting at the DAM. 8pm.
On Sunday we have the bigger demonstration.
This Sunday Oosterpark. 12:00. Be welcome.

About Euro Pact:

On 27th June, all European governments, including that of Spain, will sign in Brussels a major socioeconomic daylight robbery of an international scope: the so-called Euro Pact, by which the politicians of the European Union agree to legislate the orders of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank (ECB) and the World Bank (WB).

Failure to comply with these orders means, the rating agencies that have led Greece, Ireland and Portugal to the ruins (Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch) will resume their attacks.

What do they sign when they ratify the Euro Pact?
- The public sector salaries should be consistent with the competitiveness of the private sector, WHICH MEANS: further cuts in the public sector as it must offer the same benefits as the private sector´s derisory wages and increasing working hours. Including a sharp cut in the numbers of public employees.

- Therefore all countries should adjust their laws to the dictates of the banks, WHICH MEANS governments are ONCE AGAIN not legislating for the protection and interests of citizens but in the favour of large banking corporations and the markets.

- The retirement age will be delayed in all the countries in accordance with life expectancy.

- Enhancing competitiveness: linking wages to productivity, just like what has already been done in Spain with the latest labour reform which calls for more flexible redundancy laws, more flexible labour agreements and more flexible contracts, thus endangering the current system of collective negotiation of labour laws.

- To foster cheap lay-offs and Temporary Employment Agencies (TEA). The banks will lower the financial strains to encourage the hiring of workers, and in doing so will demolish the Social Security system and will be introducing the figure of "the perpetual intern and the perpetual precarious worker”.

- The freezing of all pensions.

- Reduction of social benefits.

- Reduction of the social protection systems, worsening the Social Security system.

- Reduction of spending on education, resulting in poorer results, which are conditions that favour and promote its ultimate privatisation.

- Increased direct and indirect taxes for citizens, small and medium businesses and penalties for not complying with the payment of these taxes through fines, interest, fees, etc.

- Changes to our constitution and that of the signatory countries with the aim of "adjusting the economy within the parameters of the IMF, ECB and World Bank” resulting in the loss of sovereignty of the people.

ONCE AGAIN, governments do not use political power to legislate and to stop the provokers of the crisis and international banks and large hedge funds, for example, stepping in against financial corporations. Instead, with the signing of the Pact of the Euro scheduled for June 27, will strengthen the large financial corporations and adopt policies that are of interest to banks and large European companies. As if we hadn´t had enough, all governments independently of their political colour, will sign this agreement to commit to large financial corporations and thus, as ever, sacrifice the citizens ONCE AGAIN, enabling the financiers to continue defrauding the world using financial products that are as sophisticated as they are risky and fraudulent, and permitting bank usury.

Using the deception that to deal with the debt crisis that grips Europe, increasing the competitiveness of national economies can only be achieved by reducing labour costs ... ONCE AGAIN.

Still no mention of intervention in tax havens where the great fortunes rest or making laws against tax evasion. Still no talk of taxing financial transactions, regulating rating agencies, etc. Still no mention of measures against unemployment and in favour of social welfare.

Still there is no consideration for a public and independent audit of the public debt in order to enable citizens to know what the debt really is and what part of it actually corresponds to the banks and private equity funds which according to the data we have constitutes most of the PUBLIC DEBT.

ONCE AGAIN, we are served the impoverishment of society on a platter in benefit of expanding the great fortunes and accentuating the social divide.

In this way, the historical record of the profits of large financial corporations are ONCE AGAINenlarged even more, the record high salaries of CEOs and executives will increase even more, and thus we reach record levels of poverty and unemployment.

The difficulty of accessing this information is due to the lack of political transparency and the fear that ALL OF EUROPE will TAKE THE STREET.

THERE ARE REASONS; ONCE AGAIN, TAKE THE STREET
