"The value of chtirion that are built plots instead of going up instead falls down, and
that's because the buildings do not meet the changed conditions. This is done primarily
with tenement houses located in the center, their rents even with the greatest
overcrowding rent can not exceed a certain upper limit. The pull down and in their place
build shops, warehouses and public stores." ---- F. Engkels ---- On June 14 a fire broke
out in Grenfell Tower, in a wealthy neighborhood of Great Britain. The gas explosion
damaged a refrigerator tenant, bad wiring of the building are some of the theories about
the cause of the tragedy. The alarm for the fire did not hurt because the building had
long been neglected. The only certainty is that "stuck" in a liquidation plan any residue
of a previous state of the area and maintaining the new rich and pure image.
The Grenfell Tower is a remnant residential projects cheap housing a previous planning
phase of the region, which had come to house poor people in the richest and most expensive
area in Great Britain. With the passage of time, the people who lived piled reported that
every effort made to solve the problems of the building together with the management fell
on deaf ears. Never had the resources or the time to deal with the damage to the elevator,
the burners or emergency lights. Their administration clearly showed that they had to feel
lucky and only have a home, especially since it is located in a privileged area. More
specifically, there was a widespread feeling that the terrible conditions will give the
administrator the ability to demolish the Grenfell. The tender for the renovation of the
building was another indication.
Modern metropolises are products of mode and movement of global capital and the conditions
that shape a society. Global capital evolves, like the societies of management within
cities. So cities redesigned as purer, territorially-bound, financial market operators,
rather than the external supplements. Neoliberal urbanism, new urbanism , is a constituent
part of this broader redefinition of the scale of operations, activities and social relations.
The most important "strategic cities" that has emerged in recent decades as an expression
of neoliberal urbanism is the phenomenon of gentrification . The process of gentrification
is a manufacturing process of social and spatial conditions and gives the place a
restructured identity and new features for the benefit of real estate and construction
capital and the upper classes. This phenomenon appears to be based on investment flows and
disinvestment in urban areas but also in new real estate strategies for Profiting from
there, which prepare the way for broader and more central interventions.
A key feature of the process is the displacement of populations. Britain, after all, has
been a historical example in the history of gentrification, with the decisive contribution
of Margaret Thatcher, which has prepared the political ground with an unprecedented
fragmentation of public housing and services. In various areas of London, such as
Westminster, the gentrification became official government policy with the aim of
expelling the residents adjacent to the trade union and the influx neosyntiritikon
yuppies. In Stamfortnt Hill, in March 1988, hundreds of squatters evicted under the
pretext of development.
In all cases, before the killing and displacement precedes a period full of state neglect
and targeting. Something seemed to be done, clearly, in the case of Grenfell Tower
residents. Depressed areas, which have occurred in this state by state, then, neglect come
to gentrification processes in which huge numbers of people, former residents of these
areas, displaced directly or indirectly, more or less violently. There are few examples of
police operations against the homeless, drug addicts, immigrants in such areas and mass
evictions in chronic residents who can not longer pay their rent. Unnecessary fires is
such an instrument we have met before in such processes. This, of course, be expected if
the global competition for the promotion of global economic and political centers to the
city "image" be "clean" and free of anything to degrade and does not facilitate the flow
of capital. The "delinquents" populations disappear. Displaced, directly or indirectly,
and transferred to other neighborhoods, other ghettos that tomorrow may still abound
according to the plans of global capital ...
It is another class barrier, this time for access to the city itself, access to housing,
the survival of the plebeians themselves, workers, migrants, minorities and excluded. The
gentrification is not something foreign or something not seen in the Helladic case in
other ways, simply the phenomenon intensity changes with respect to global economic power.
The cleaner operations against immigrants and drug addicts in 2012 in the area of Athens
and other cities, the mutation of the Gazi area, the gradual change of Metaxourgio
happening in recent years some specks of a strategy of complete extermination disposal
whoever excess. The proposal to create a metro line in the area of Exarchia, in
conjunction with the intensity of the action of narkomafion there and the rapid growth of
the entertainment industry have the pretext of development and clearing of the area, but
as real aim subjugation whoever resists a region historically linked with the social,
class and political struggles.
In short, government policies subordination and profit drop in pumping wall encountering
social resistances that stand against them. The movements of the residents of these
neighborhoods have resisted mass and dynamically to any attempts of capital to impose on
their premises and in their neighborhoods. Opposite sterilization objected solidarity and
mutual aid. Against the enslavement collective action and collective life. Opposite to
control and suppress the resistance and struggle.

Donald Trump's seizure of power disrupts the balance in Iraq and Syria. The United States
intends to defend its interests well, and the coming defeat of the Islamic state will not
cease hostilities. ---- The arrival of a new tenant at the White House is always an event
for the Middle East, as the destiny of this region is influenced by US imperialism. Donald
Trump was all the more expected as he had promised foreign policy changes that
contradicted the wishes of the Washington establishment: less warrior adventurism,
rapprochement with the Kremlin, priority to the Daech fight on change In Syria, calling
into question the nuclear deal with Iran. ---- His first major action in Syria
disconcerted everyone. Following the chemical attack on Khan Sheikhoun, which was given
without any form of trial to the Bashar al-Assad regime, he launched a Tomahawk missile
salvo on 6 April against the Al-Chayrat air base. In the days that follow the tension
rises with Russia. Complete reversal, surrender to his enemies in Washington ? Nothing can
be said.
The attack is symbolic, the Russian expeditionary force was warned two hours before to
avoid a burr, the airport quickly became operational again. It is primarily a domestic
political operation, and it is also a demonstration of strength to the many enemies of the
United States, North Korea in particular. His message is clear: attention a new sheriff is
in town, it's a tough. On the other hand, Middle East policy in Washington remains
unclear, uncertain, especially as it is the object of a fierce struggle between Trump and
part of the state apparatus.
Only certainty, the Iraqi and Syrian Kurds retain their status as better local allies in
the fight against Daech. In Syria, the Pentagon relies on the YPG Kurds, which together
with other small Arab armed groups form the Syrian Democratic Forces to capture Raqqa, the
capital of Daech's caliphate.
Recep Erdogan's victory in the constitutional referendum of 16 April [1]also has important
implications for the region. The Turkish president does not hide his ambition to revive
the Ottoman Empire and make it the center of Sunni Islam, which puts him in competition
with Iranian imperialism. To this end, he is pursuing an aggressive imperialist policy
against Iraq and Syria, which are prey to armed and allied insurgencies in Tehran.
Since the end of 2015, the Turkish army occupies a base in Iraqi territory in Bashiqa
north of Mosul, despite the opposition of the government of Baghdad. In this camp, it
draws pechmergas of the PDK of Barzani, Iraqi Turkmen militias that serve to counter the
influence of Iran in the country. It is also a means of claiming Turkey's " historical
rights " over Mosul.
In Syria, during the summer of 2016, Erdogan concluded a tactical agreement with Vladimir
Putin, bartering Aleppo with an occupied zone north of the province of Aleppo [2 ]. In the
short term, this has enabled him to prevent the unification of Rojava, in the long run he
will certainly try to transform this temporary occupation into a permanent annexation.
The first acts of Erdogan after his election victory clearly show that he will not change
course, on the contrary we are witnessing a leak forward, of which the Kurdish left is the
first to bear the costs. On 25 April, Turkish aviation launched a series of raids on the
positions of the PKK in Iraq, in the Qandil Mountains and for the first time in Sinjar. In
Syria, the bombing of a HQ and a radio station of the YPG killed some 20 people. The
following days, attacks on the Rojava continued and the troops massed at the border made
fear of a land invasion. But the ambitions of Ankara are in contradiction with the
interests of the American and Russian imperialisms. By mutual agreement Washington and
Moscow send soldiers to intervene between the Turkish army and the YPGs, the Americans in
the east Rojava,
In case the message was not understood, on May 9 the US government officially announces
that it will arm the YPGs in the near future of the Battle of Raqqa. This is not the first
time that the Pentagon has supplied them with weapons, but so far it has been doing it
discreetly to avoid offending Turkish susceptibility. For Trump the political victory he
hopes to draw from the capture of the capital of Daech is more important than the states
of mind of Erdogan. It is also a warning about the rapprochement between Ankara and Moscow.
On 4 May, Iran, Russia and Turkey signed an agreement on Syria in Astana, it established
four zones of "de- escalation " without fighting and it is supposed to lay the
foundations for a later political solution. It is in fact a tactical agreement: it allows
the Syrian rebels supported by Ankara to blow and resume forces after costly defeats in
the west of the country, while Damascus can redeploy troops on the front is against Daesh.
Response of Russia and Iran
The near end of the caliphate stirs up lusts, the race to tear away its future remains is
launched. The various imperialisms and their local allies seek to carve out zones of
lasting influences. The issue is beyond the Syrian framework, it concerns the balance of
forces in the Middle East for the coming years, between Sunni countries - Saudi Arabia,
Qatar, Jordan, Turkey supported by the And the " Shiite arch " - Iran, Iraq, Syria,
Lebanese Hezbollah, with Russian support. In the absence of a regime favorable to
Damascus, the United States and its local allies at least want to cut off the land route
between Iran and the Mediterranean.
At the end of April, free Syrian Army units backed by the United States, Jordan and the
United Kingdom launched an offensive in the Syrian desert with the aim of taking control
of the border with Iraq. Until now they have seized the Al Tanf border crossing to the
southeast and they are heading towards Al Bukamal in the northeast.
The Astana agreement makes it possible to respond to Russia and Iran, which is responsible
for units of the Syrian army, pro-government militias, Lebanese Hezbollah and Popular
Unity Pro-Iranian Shia militias. On the ground the situation is vivid between these two
imperialist forces, there have already been several clashes. And sign of the importance of
the stake, on 18 May the American aviation bombed a pro-government military convoy that
approached Al-Tanf.
This is the second time that Trump bombarded the troops of the regime, is this the sign of
an escalation that risks directly opposing the United States and Russia ? Impossible to
say at the moment as the uncertainties are great. What is certain is that the fall of the
Caliphate of Daech will not end the war that bloodshed Syria and Iraq.

On Saturday, June 17 was held in a pleasant atmosphere Pilsen Municipal swimming festival
called Stay Together. It was not just for him but for music, in addition to songs of bands
brought the message through lectures and anarchist publications. ---- Weather was fine -
it was nice while no hic. The swimming pool permit to pursue the program, or just relax
and chat by the river. At three o'clock, when the event was officially started, at first
visitors waiting for food from the Food Not Bombs, distros Anarchist Federation, a free
community VAP and Rawzinu . Later he added also offer creations Divé bars and merch some
of the bands performing. ---- The festival was unique in that it was basically a
pass-through place, went there ie families with children, rode cyclists and ran runners,
local kids were cared for fun ... Everybody could stop a moment to sit, refreshments, stay
or continue. While overall attendance was not big on atmosphere, it definitely detracted.
The first part consisted of lectures, and because naturally free tempo you did not fully
understand the timing requirements of the program fell off lecture on anarchism. But who
was interested in this topic, he could stop for a word with these anarchist distros. Thus,
the microphone picked up as the first representative team of the Prague Food Not Bombs
(FNB) to introduce this initiative based on four central questions: who her who prepares
food that is prepared and what are the ideas behind it. FNB points out its activity on how
much is invested in arms, or how much food is thrown away, while the world millions of
people are suffering from hunger. FNB is the antithesis of capitalist relations,
individualism, authority and hierarchy, operates on the principles of consensus, mutual
respect and rejection of prejudice. In the ensuing debate, discussed the possibilities to
cross the barrier between the issuing and receiving, which among other things is related
to the capacities of the individual teams.
Further talks took longtime vegan and presented his journey to veganism, taking
inspiration from his experience of the rural environment and the dairy industry. Veganism
is not just food, but also clothes, cosmetics, etc. She was also his experience catering
to vegan children in the household. Its entrance was very open and do not compromise,
especially underlined the evil associated with industrial farming and pointed to other
positive impacts veganism, related to the issue of drinking water, climate change,
destruction forests etc. from the audience, then adding that veganism can have collective
dimension and is good to incorporate into the wider context of ethical consumption, which
reflects not only the impact on the consumption of animals and nature, but also on people,
communities and society.
The last lecture of the afternoon to take the deputy anarchofeministického NemrAFKy team
to present their personal view and experience of the last two years of the Prague activist
environment. Although the anti-authoritarian collectives assume the absence of various
forms of oppression, whether we like it or not, we are socialized in a particular
environment and therefore it can also bring some patriarchal habits. And it is up to us to
try to keep nereprodukovat power structures and stereotypes when, for example. Men
decidedly more active role and to take the word. It is positive that there is a reflection
of these things and creating new feminist groups. The girls then outlined experiments
trying to environment Clinic team give adequate voice activists. This was followed by a
debate about the eternal problem of insufficient participation of women in subcultures.
Then it occurred to the band. Tosiro started. After they got Aftercome even without a
bassist, only two came forward with energizing portion HC. Afterlife pace calmed down to
them succeeding Sail This Ship Together revved up until then calmly sitting around the
audience. During the performance of the German Youth Minus already a motion on the floor
was not an emergency, their countrymen Stolen Mind continued the momentum going and who he
wanted to, he could have wild fun during their set at will. Live music festival but did
not finish. The DJ counter decorated in black and red flag were selected hits of different
styles and fun can continue.
We hope that similar events in Pilsen soon repeated. Big thanks to the organizing team.

On May 30 a, 28 nteliveras dropped dead at work on another labor killing Larissa this
time. Another of the many who were killed or maimed on the altar of the bosses' profits
should increase. The altar of precarity. ---- Insecurity ... The name of the working
nightmare for all of us. Anyone who / s thinks he will keep or find a job that would
provide him and his family the basics of survival is deeply benighted. They do not need
many words to describe what is happening. The chapter is closer than ever to the
realization of his vision: to be able to receive and removes any worker wants, whenever he
wants, as he wants, without limitation legal or social, without timetables, insurance,
holidays, giving crumbs. ---- What happened so far in the areas of "traditional" poverty
(waiters, brochures, couriers, distributors, etc.), now extends everywhere. Each branch
will be "like motorbikes." Each employee will become a "child with a bike." Look around
when you stop at traffic lights. You will see that these "children with scooters' running
of killing nychtiatika prevent the order, without a helmet, without equipment, motorcycles
ruin is no longer" children "as once in" odd jobs. " Are men and women of all ages and ...
guess what: this is the future that prepare us. This is development, these are the
reforms. This is the European Union, the "output on the markets," the "labor mobility",
the "continuous training". How many bubbles will be pushing us to meet the simple truth:
the boss takes all.
We let them be made the capitalist achreiotitas islets called "odd jobs." We said okay, a
pocket money until they find something stable. Some said 'ok, learn what the new job. "
And finally it spread like infection. While it is certain that there had to let them
develop this abscess, so certain is that if you let it be developed further, tomorrow will
respectively deplore our current apathy.
It is commonplace to blame the old "trade unionism". People status with structures similar
to those of the system. GSEE, ADEDY the rabble of the party did a great job of all these
years aponefronontas disparaging and the meaning of the labor struggle itself, until their
bosses, state capital, they sent them to ignominious retirement.
We need a new unionism. Our own unionism. Do we take decisions. To know what the boss will
fall on him if ...
We live by our work we need a strong fighting force and to our powerful class enemies. And
if you do not make we will not be alone.
In the "heart" of the "odd jobs" work in motorcycles, has launched such unionism. In an
area that counts dead and crippled to 'accidents', ie killing the bosses' side, in the
center of the abscess of precarity is an example. In infancy these efforts -in motorbikes
and other industries where created and struggling bore of clubs (in relation to how much
should be extended figures, sectoral and geographical) manage and motivate, earn
victories. Small is the truth, but how long we hear the word "victory"?
We support every effort for a fighter, horizontal, uncompromising base unionism.
We fight for our class interests. The world of work must show its strength.
We support the mobilizations in Larissa, Trikala, Karditsa, Lamia and Volos.
We invite all to PATH in Larissa, Saturday 24/6 at 18:00 in the mail square.

The image of the gypsy who sells drugs, armed and odigaei expensive cars is the proposed
model of the spectacle society for ghettoised areas antestarmeno the social model of
offenders in this way is both harmless and profitable. These gypsies are junkies of the
entertainment society. ---- The gypsies believe that no one is obliged to tell the truth
only in its language. ---- In the enemy's language, the lie is more than adequate. ----
Guy Debord ---- Riots in Menidi is the violent expression of a request by the local
community for more policing. This contradiction, the flying one that rocks at cops
demanding more cops should not be seen as some kind of massive schizophrenic activity but
as potential requirement to provide unique care now offered by the State to its citizens,
especially (but not only ) in these areas: the police.
*
In Menidi, as in Race, Aspropyrgos and Ano Liosia is very severe problem of "crime", ie
the mass of delinquent behavior, that if it means, or to use a more political expression
is strong social cannibalism problem . Much more intense than in other regions of the
country. This artfully created by the state itself. In modern metropolitan areas these
conditions are destined to play such a multiple role: hide the outcasts from the rest of
society, are areas of black economy activity and spatial trapping the dangerous classes.
Therefore the problem is not the absence of State as claimed by several clowns performing
debts of local rulers and of course many gullible people but the State itself that
determines the role of the regions in economic, class and level course in urban planning
level.
*
From the first moment the news that the death of 11 year old was caused by a bullet until
today there is no proof whatsoever that the gun belonged gypsy. The fact that the shot was
also showing vertical and slammed the fact that that is the 11 year old victim was an
unnecessary shooting in the air. At the same time in an area like the Menidi weapons have
not only gypsies and of course do not shoot (in the air or not) only those.
*
On Monday (12/06) Wednesday (14/06) the concentrations against the gypsies expanded beyond
Menidi, Ano Liosia in particular and Etoliko Aitolakarnanias - a parallel development
there were clashes between Roma and other residents in Aigio - while there was a clear
call from the media to expand elsewhere giving step in various racists across Greece to
declare that they have a problem with the Roma and herald possible mobilisations in their
own areas. Whatever therefore if the motive was the first collected in Menidi, those who
continue and expand into new areas of anti-Roma concentrations if not openly Nazi, then
simply dangerous idiots who do their job.
*
The pinch and trafficking of Menidi and elsewhere is an intensive social problem, and is
not charged in the absence of the state in the area but just in his own existence and more
specifically in one of the black pieces of Greek deep state . The gypsies of Menidi is
simply middlemen into a huge enterprise with immense profits which manage the same people
who own huge share of economic (not only physical) power. Cases Marinakis / Gianoussaki of
Noor1 carrying two tons pinch or also tycoon Angelopoulos in 2004 with 5.5 kg cocaine are
only some cases became widely known. Indicatively: In 1998 the owners Chaikalis and
Gatelouzon arrested with 4.5 tons of cocaine after co Greek and US cops. In 2000 the owner
Neck was arrested in Venezuela for transporting 8.5 tonnes of cocaine but escaped after
anticipated and unloaded the goods at sea. In 2001, the ship "Saturn", Greek interests in
the Azores unloaded 1,300 pounds of cocaine and 200 kilos in Preveza - the second part of
the cargo was reward the crew for the transportation of cocaine. In May 2002, the French
fleet fired on the Greek ship "Winner" Kotsore property and Saints (shipping business
owners), when he refused to stop for inspection - the ship was loaded 2.5 cocaine from
small fishing 200 miles off the Bucket.
*
One of the most simple planning suppression methods is the exclusion of residents of the
area by massive highway serve as impenetrable walls. This design was used in Los Angeles
after the '93 rebellion to separate the "good" from "bad" areas. At this time, whether was
intentional or not, the Menidi has this type of border: Attica road, that cuts south of
the urban fabric of the rest of Athens, the highway that separates from Maroussi and
bourgeois Kifissia. If needed in future (easy) adding police roadblocks in the holes of
these roads can transform the area into pure ghetto. Another method of urban repression,
even the simplest, is that there is no transport. Menidi from the Athens center go two
leoforeia (A10, B10) and one at Ano Liosia (B12) and in areas with less and much less
populous as Halandri and Maroussi are respectively three or four subway stations.
*
The mob that attacked the gypsy homes with his own actions did not hide anything from its
identity and quality. Attackers burned and looted the gypsy homes and eventually attacked
with stones and moving and full of passengers passing train. All at a concentration
against the criminality of gypsies.
*
The attack on the Roma community has to do with the sharing of the black market economy.
The equivalent to this gypsy mafia rosopontiaki has very good tips to chrysafgites, which
undoubtedly lie in the barricades and also undoubtedly interested to get their hands on
such a large market.
*
The gypsies is not an easy opponent for the Nazis, who have clearly in their political
program causing racial conflict by organizing actions against delinquency Roma. In the
summer of 2012 a joint venture cops - chrysafgiton in Ano Liosia came with the gypsies to
make short rebellion by looting, clashes and barricades and ultimately encircle,
pyrovolontas with shotguns A.T. the area where fled for their lives and cops chrysafgites
. A month ago, concentration against Roma, which also reached a joint venture cops -
chrysafgiton in Aetoliko Aitolakarnanias resulted in three gunned residents who acted
alongside the cops. The intention for such socially dangerous moves by the Nazis still
exists - and is now being implemented in Menidi - just so far he has not helped the
balance of power.
*
The social exclusion of the Roma has age-old origins and based on a series of myths and
prejudices similar to that experienced by the Jewish community or the blacks in the
American South. The total of phobic up hostile attitude of other people towards them, led
Gypsies to develop very strongly the collective / community element combined with a moral
code different from the mainstream. This does not mean that there is no class
stratification within gypsy communities that coexist with a series of racial hierarchies
based, together, problematic relationship with the state and of course the internal
economic interdependencies. It is the social exclusion and paranomopoiisi which primes the
prevalence of common racial identity as a connecting element between the gypsy and leaves
no room for any explosion of the internal contradictions in the gypsy communities.
*
The Gypsy communities have no interaction with a range of structural, for the bourgeois
state, relationships, such as the bourgeois relations or the justice sector, in the sense
that neither understand them, let alone accept them. At the same time and the relationship
of the Gypsies with capitalism is problematic: the, nomads and traders, Roma not in any
way to digest wage labor.
*
In addition to the special relationship with the capitalist ideology, the gypsies have
remained relatively unaffected by the social movements that developed in the last
centuries. The first meeting of the limits of the anarchist revolutionary model in
Barcelona in July 1936 was the subject of gypsies. While fleeing en masse from all enemy
right areas and came to the anarchists areas and while using public goods they were not
willing to work in any collectivized enterprise.
*
The image of the gypsy who sells drugs, armed and odigaei expensive cars is the proposed
model of the spectacle society for ghettoised areas antestarmeno the social model of
offenders in this way is both harmless and profitable. These gypsies are junkies of the
entertainment society.
*
Any kinematics intervention should unfortunately be done from the outside, without any
connection with Gypsy communities. This determines the ephemeral of any intervention. In
the first time the issue is on the other hand, how will not prevail fascist narrative of
events globally in western Attica.

Today the government announced that a Tenants' Fees Bill will be drafted later this year,
with a view to banning letting agency fees. Numerous groups have been taking direct action
to fight back against agency fees - and exploitative practices in the housing sector more
generally - in recent years; clearly the government are worried about the power of
self-organised tenants. ---- Whilst the proposed bill may seem like a victory for these
campaigns, professional parasites such as the Association of Residential Letting Agents
won't give up without a fight, and attempts to water down the bill are likely, and will
likely find sympathy amongst the many landlords in parliament. More importantly, many of
us cannot wait six months (or longer) for a bill that may or may not relieve the
exploitation of agency fees. Many of us are negotiating the private rental sector now,
borrowing money we don't have to pay fees we can't afford to move into houses not fit to
live in.
In Brighton Solidarity Federation, we have recently established a Housing Union, made up
of private sector tenants, council tenants, and those with mortgages, coming together to
improve our lives in the here and now by finding ways to fight exploitation in the housing
sector. In the private rental sector, we are looking to bring together tenants who share
the same agency, to take safe, direct action (i.e. collective action that we decide and
agree on ourselves) to put pressure on agencies to drop their fees. Let's not wait for the
government to (possibly) abolish fees in six to nine months' time; let's force agencies to
abolish them now.
We know that direct action in housing works, having successfully organised over the past
year and a half with tenants to force agencies to return deposits, fees, and to undertake
vital repair works on our homes. If you're a private rental sector tenant who wants to
fight back against agency fees, you can get in touch with us at
housing@brightonsolfed.org.uk, or you can send us a text on 07427239960 and we'll get back
to you

Our buddy Jean-Pierre Petit drew his reverence this May 11, 2017, taking us all short, we

Libertés, the Big Brother Awards), for the right to the city (but without ever saying the
word) and then against wilderness development (Maison des ensembles, Costif vers le
gros-Paris).
But above all, all these fronts and ecological struggles (with Bure, the collective (s)
Nddl, anti-shale gas), you made them dialogue as the thousand facets of a fight for the
right to the mode Life, and life, against any concession to capitalism, against the
authority and the spirit of hierarchy, even in the trade union SUD-PTT where you were just
as active.

No wonder you wrote in one of the latest issues of The Open Maw, anti-authoritarian and
environmentalist newspaper. This coherence, this convergence of battles is like you, you
who also sought the concrete alternatives, initiating the Frap (Festival of Resistances
and Alternatives in Paris), you who made sure that collectives that could have missed, On
the contrary, meet, and at the same time exceed the divergences, the distances of
practices and even of opinions. It was a political challenge, and also a sporting feat,
but always done in fun, if possible in the party. And then, as the friends of Orwell and
the friends of the show reminded us of the show, with you there was no fight without
prestige, or too small.
Your last words, removing your oxygen mask, were: " You have to organize " ... This is
how you were known, it is in this spirit that we will continue to Beat, clown, zadist or
civilian, organized or not. By meeting all of us together these days, rediscovering the
commitments you have lived with each other - for once again your discretion was such that
we still learn - we all felt that as long as We would be together, you would be there in
motion, with us.

The delegate of the CNT union in the fire brigade of Bizkaia faces an administrative file
that could have serious consequences at work level. "His 'crime' was not other than
refusing to carry out a maneuver with a new self-rescue device, since he considered that
he did not have the training or sufficient training to do it", has denounced the
anarcho-syndicalist center. ---- As reported by the CNT, the events go back to November
2016. In refusing to give this course, the worker also argued that "it was not among his
functions to provide training in the use of equipment and supplementary material."
"According to the Law on Prevention of Occupational Risks, the training to which workers
are entitled must be theoretical and practical, adequate and adequate," the organization
recalled.
As reported by the union, "the SPEIS Headquarters of Bizkaia - dependent of Provincial
Council - tried to patch the lack of firefighters with specific training" to use this
system of self-rescue. To that end, he ordered the sergeants - who had received a user
training a few days earlier - to give "a maneuver that would serve as a reminder for those
already trained and training for firefighters who had no knowledge of the device."
"This file, which began on May 12 - six months after the events - was sent to our delegate
on June 6, just two days before a trial was held in the Contentious-Administrative court
following the lawsuit Presented by that same worker against the Diputación Foral de
Bizkaia "for denying him a license regulated in the Agreement-agreement to go to a union day".
The union CNT considered that it is "a clear attempt to intimidate" its delegate, as well
as "a notice for all the staff". For these reasons, the anarcho-syndicalist center has
demanded "the immediate archiving of the file and guarantees for an end to all anti-union
conduct."

Donald Trump's seizure of power disrupts the balance in Iraq and Syria. The United States
intends to defend its interests well, and the coming defeat of the Islamic state will not
cease hostilities. ---- The arrival of a new tenant at the White House is always an event
for the Middle East, as the destiny of this region is influenced by US imperialism. Donald
Trump was all the more expected as he had promised foreign policy changes that
contradicted the wishes of the Washington establishment: less warrior adventurism,
rapprochement with the Kremlin, priority to the Daech fight on change In Syria, calling
into question the nuclear deal with Iran. ---- His first major action in Syria
disconcerted everyone. Following the chemical attack on Khan Sheikhoun, which was given
without any form of trial to the Bashar al-Assad regime, he launched a Tomahawk missile
salvo on 6 April against the Al-Chayrat air base. In the days that follow the tension
rises with Russia. Complete reversal, surrender to his enemies in Washington ? Nothing can
be said.
The attack is symbolic, the Russian expeditionary force was warned two hours before to
avoid a burr, the airport quickly became operational again. It is primarily a domestic
political operation, and it is also a demonstration of strength to the many enemies of the
United States, North Korea in particular. His message is clear: attention a new sheriff is
in town, it's a tough. On the other hand, Middle East policy in Washington remains
unclear, uncertain, especially as it is the object of a fierce struggle between Trump and
part of the state apparatus.
Only certainty, the Iraqi and Syrian Kurds retain their status as better local allies in
the fight against Daech. In Syria, the Pentagon relies on the YPG Kurds, which together
with other small Arab armed groups form the Syrian Democratic Forces to capture Raqqa, the
capital of Daech's caliphate.
Recep Erdogan's victory in the constitutional referendum of 16 April [1]also has important
implications for the region. The Turkish president does not hide his ambition to revive
the Ottoman Empire and make it the center of Sunni Islam, which puts him in competition
with Iranian imperialism. To this end, he is pursuing an aggressive imperialist policy
against Iraq and Syria, which are prey to armed and allied insurgencies in Tehran.
Since the end of 2015, the Turkish army occupies a base in Iraqi territory in Bashiqa
north of Mosul, despite the opposition of the government of Baghdad. In this camp, it
draws pechmergas of the PDK of Barzani, Iraqi Turkmen militias that serve to counter the
influence of Iran in the country. It is also a means of claiming Turkey's " historical
rights " over Mosul.
In Syria, during the summer of 2016, Erdogan concluded a tactical agreement with Vladimir
Putin, bartering Aleppo with an occupied zone north of the province of Aleppo [2 ]. In the
short term, this has enabled him to prevent the unification of Rojava, in the long run he
will certainly try to transform this temporary occupation into a permanent annexation.
The first acts of Erdogan after his election victory clearly show that he will not change
course, on the contrary we are witnessing a leak forward, of which the Kurdish left is the
first to bear the costs. On 25 April, Turkish aviation launched a series of raids on the
positions of the PKK in Iraq, in the Qandil Mountains and for the first time in Sinjar. In
Syria, the bombing of a HQ and a radio station of the YPG killed some 20 people. The
following days, attacks on the Rojava continued and the troops massed at the border made
fear of a land invasion. But the ambitions of Ankara are in contradiction with the
interests of the American and Russian imperialisms. By mutual agreement Washington and
Moscow send soldiers to intervene between the Turkish army and the YPGs, the Americans in
the east Rojava,
In case the message was not understood, on May 9 the US government officially announces
that it will arm the YPGs in the near future of the Battle of Raqqa. This is not the first
time that the Pentagon has supplied them with weapons, but so far it has been doing it
discreetly to avoid offending Turkish susceptibility. For Trump the political victory he
hopes to draw from the capture of the capital of Daech is more important than the states
of mind of Erdogan. It is also a warning about the rapprochement between Ankara and Moscow.
On 4 May, Iran, Russia and Turkey signed an agreement on Syria in Astana, it established
four zones of "de- escalation " without fighting and it is supposed to lay the
foundations for a later political solution. It is in fact a tactical agreement: it allows
the Syrian rebels supported by Ankara to blow and resume forces after costly defeats in
the west of the country, while Damascus can redeploy troops on the front is against Daesh.
Response of Russia and Iran
The near end of the caliphate stirs up lusts, the race to tear away its future remains is
launched. The various imperialisms and their local allies seek to carve out zones of
lasting influences. The issue is beyond the Syrian framework, it concerns the balance of
forces in the Middle East for the coming years, between Sunni countries - Saudi Arabia,
Qatar, Jordan, Turkey supported by the And the " Shiite arch " - Iran, Iraq, Syria,
Lebanese Hezbollah, with Russian support. In the absence of a regime favorable to
Damascus, the United States and its local allies at least want to cut off the land route
between Iran and the Mediterranean.
At the end of April, free Syrian Army units backed by the United States, Jordan and the
United Kingdom launched an offensive in the Syrian desert with the aim of taking control
of the border with Iraq. Until now they have seized the Al Tanf border crossing to the
southeast and they are heading towards Al Bukamal in the northeast.
The Astana agreement makes it possible to respond to Russia and Iran, which is responsible
for units of the Syrian army, pro-government militias, Lebanese Hezbollah and Popular
Unity Pro-Iranian Shia militias. On the ground the situation is vivid between these two
imperialist forces, there have already been several clashes. And sign of the importance of
the stake, on 18 May the American aviation bombed a pro-government military convoy that
approached Al-Tanf.
This is the second time that Trump bombarded the troops of the regime, is this the sign of
an escalation that risks directly opposing the United States and Russia ? Impossible to
say at the moment as the uncertainties are great. What is certain is that the fall of the
Caliphate of Daech will not end the war that bloodshed Syria and Iraq.
