(en) Britain,SolFed.org.uk: East and West London Unite to Attack Workfare

Slovenia has long been a good student of liberalism. She now removes negative growth of 
2.3% and severe austerity policies. Deeply corrupt political class is the main target of 
revolts that have shaken the country since December. ---- Same reason, the same 
punishment: a country that meets the ultra-liberal political class orders markets, and a 
fragile economic structure make Slovenia one more victim of the long series of 
aust?ritaires country. Completely new, massive protests rocked the country and gave 
Slovenes a first taste of the radical opposition. ---- Everything starts in mid-November, 
when the exasperation against corruption Mayor of Maribor (second largest city) reached 
its climax and puts people in the street, shouting GOTOF I (it is finished)! The challenge 
wins throughout the country in three weeks what are some 70,000 people in 18 cities, 
denouncing liberals disenchanted tomorrows unemployment, insecurity, human rights 
violations, public service degraded and privatized future clogged.

Spontaneity and creativity

The first surprise is the Slovenian themselves. In the words of the Federation of 
Anarchist organizations (FAO) Slovenia: "The movement is decentralized, anti-authoritarian 
and non-hierarchical. People who had never set foot in the street involved, even in the 
villages ... [...] We do not know how long we can stand in the street. But what is certain 
is that people experience the process of emancipation and won a speech that had been torn 
by violence in the past. Nobody can take them. '

Creativity, solidarity, spontaneity and animate these movements where no charismatic 
leader comes out of the lot so far, to recover the movement.

However, a certain naivete exists among some protesters December, criticizing the 
"rioters" call for collaboration with the police, with no prospect structuring. It is 
against this risk that FAO is awareness. Its release [ 1 ], both explicit and encouraging 
explains the mechanisms of brutal capitalism, describing the progress made ??by the force 
of indignation. " If we want the revolt turns into a social movement, on the basis of 
requests, concrete goals and visions, we need to articulate those already in the movement 
and achieve a form of organization that makes possible this process. "

Decentralization, direct democracy, override political parties, and self-management are of 
course the basis on which the movement will continue. And there is hope that will not be 
extinguished. Socialist Bohut Pahor elected in December (67% of the votes) will become 
President, while the current Prime Minister (center right) is accused of corruption and 
speaks of resignation. The street was right, and we expect that 2013 will be hot in Slovenia!
