Messages other anticapitalist organizations were sent to delegates or read directly by 
délégué.es présent.es of these organizations in the room. ---- The messages came from: 
Alternatives and self-management (A & A) CGA 30 NPA OCML the VP- Together (Left Front) 
---- On the Alternatives and self-management (A & A) ---- Es Dear Comrades, ---- We thank 
you for your invitation fraternally, we welcome your conference and its delegates es and 
are sorry we can not be. ---- Many of you already know that Alternative, by a vote far 
from being "Stalinist", decided to dissolve into "Together" as did the GA. ---- We had 
prudently anticipated this constituted a political choice and profit association 
"Self-Management and Alternatives" badged "A & A" ---- For us it is a period of turbulence 
and reconstruction. We must pick up the pieces and restart a democratic and cohesive 
internal function.

You will therefore understand, we still difficult, honesty to express a political line as 
a collective perfectly and democratically constituted.

However, if it is that we exist:

Some of us do not analysis "Together" is THE single political proposal, unifying and cross 
the political landscape.
It's already that we observe the emergence of a Spokesperson's Office too personal that is 
not in our design
Is that we want to maintain a line and a culture "cross" of ideas and struggles and thus 
remain open to political combat forms present and future.
Is that we remain deeply self-management.
Is that we analyze that we lost a lot of strength in the electoral battle.
Already our will is displayed. "A & A" has released a first No. of our newspaper: . NRVV
? Black for self, experimentation and alternative practices . Red for social justice, 
solidarity and equality Green for radical ecology, anti-productivism and growth 
objection. Purple for feminism, anti-sexism and anti-racism.

Now it's in our practices and struggles that we will take them!

Now, we can affirm our commitment to strengthen our ties, our cooperation and our 
échanges.Comme in anti-fascist struggles or fairs Self-management. See you soon, in the 
struggles and debates. All our best wishes for your congress.

Provisional Coordination of Self-Management & Alternatives

Coordination of anarchist groups (CGA)

Coordination of Anarchist Groups address his libertarian greetings to the participants of 
Alternative Libertaire and wish you good work.

The current political period is characterized, amid global economic crisis, an 
acceleration of government and employer attacks on all fronts.

Major social setbacks for the benefit of capital, attacks on freedoms and ideological 
offensive are some of the main features. The reactionary and fascist movements 
(nationalist or religious) benefit from this context and now seek to impose their 
ideological mark, both in the minds and in the street mobilisations. Not content to occupy 
their strong traditional field of defense of the moral order (mobilization against 
marriage for all, school days withdrawal), they attempt to influence or even to boost 
social mobilizations to claim as with the "day of anger" or when mobilizations red caps.

Speeches and racist, sexist and LGBTphobes increase and become commonplace. The extreme 
right via the FN continues to grow and its electoral anchor. The political landscape has 
strongly droitisé the FN speech that made scandal 20 years ago are now taken over by the PS

Faced with this, the whole "progressive" camp seems unable to respond, bad blows rained 
but the reactions are rare and very minority. When Macron law dismantles the code a little 
more work, it is the corporatist mobilizations (taxis, tobacco managers, bailiffs, 
pharmacists, doctors) who are first hear! The late reaction of the union on April 9, 
certainly comforting, remains without a future ...

Beyond the traditional paralysis of part of the labor movement when the left is in power, 
it seems stunned and no real mobilization capacity. The liberal ideological offensive 
suffered for over 3 decades combined with the absence of mass social mobilizations winning 
best since 2006 partly explain this. Sometimes winning existing mobilisations are often 
defensive and limited scale of a business.

In the political field the PS and the parliamentary left that share the broad guidelines 
of capitalism discredited for many. But no progressive option emerges reformist or 
revolutionary release. All organizations in this field, including libertarians, undergoes 
erosion and difficulties, difficulty in projecting. The absence of unifying mobilizations 
crystallizes internal disagreements and questions the strategies. The de-federations that 
our organization has undergone in the first quarter of 2015 reveal that context that we 
know, more or less strongly affects everyone.

The conference we held last April confirmed our conceptions of popular anarchism part in 
social struggles, acting against all oppressions -economic, racism, patriarchal. An 
anarchist who promotes in his libertarian communist project as in the struggles, tools 
(self-management, direct democracy, federalism) in opposition to the delegation of power 
and electioneering.

However, meeting the challenges and difficulties we are aware-that we have no "solution" 
or "the" good option. We are tent-e-es to say, the other libertarian organizations nor do 
we. Also, it seems that the libertarian movement needs but serene debate pushed our 
convergences and divergences in order to foster unity of action when possible but also the 
exchange, confrontation of ideas or even the common policy developed. For example, 
collective work cravings between libertarian unionists emerged at our convention.

We must soon take a further review of the CLAF but whatever our conclusions on this theme, 
the work between our organizations on clear bases remains important for us.
