It's a pretty cool evening on October 29th and I'm getting on the tram to Dejvicka. The
tram starts in the direction of Podbaba and I meet other comrades and comrades right in
the tram. We will talk briefly about life and we are already performing. We take a quick
step to the park where the meeting with the others is arranged. Some are here, but most
are still missing. But not even the whole cigarette and we are complete. The last
consultation and explanation of the action to all who have come: the expression of a
protest on the occasion of the Ambassadors' celebration organized by the Turkish Embassy.
The roles are divided between who and how to take the banner, who will hold the flags and
who will take pictures. We still get information on what it looks like on the spot, and
after a brief consultation, we check the banner and head towards the International. It is
about time, from 6 pm individual ambassadors are coming down.
After a quick move we come to a place and look around quickly. First, we look like a group
of tourists admiring architecture. We are waiting for the moment when the surrounding
security and police are relieving for a moment. We immediately run up in front of the
entrance and begin to unpack the banner. In a moment, the whole group is behind a large
banner with the words ERDOGAN IS TERORIST . On the sides of the banner are two YPG flags.
The police and security are still just watching. A media photographer is also on site. We
stand with the banner for about thirty minutes, meanwhile we see ambassadors arriving. The
reactions are different, some are frightened, others take pictures of us or just smile.
Upon arrival of all the "important" our mediator tells us that, according to the police,
we should leave so that she does not have to intervene. We agree on leaving, but the
police did not let us just leave and checked every citizen. After the check-up, we just
say goodbye, some go to their homes and others still discuss the beer action.

Right now there is a Socialist Revolution in the Middle East. Women are on the front
lines, the fighting has been tough and little is said about it around here. The revolution
that is taking place in Kurdistan is socialist and antifascist, defends the life and
autonomy of the people against fundamentalism, carries with it the banners of feminism and
social ecology. ---- In this conversation we will socialize and debate some of these
central elements of the Kurdish Revolution. There will also be video exhibition and
exhibition of materials on the subject. In a political moment marked by so many setbacks
for our class, it is not strategic to lower our agenda and be content with the crumbs of
bourgeois democracy. Therefore, knowing the Kurdish struggle is a necessary exercise to
practice international solidarity and build strong references that inspire us to walk.
Attend!

In the first week of October, we informed about the difficult situation at Energa Serwis -
a company committee belonging to the Employee Initiative of employees of this company,
together with the plant organization of the National Trade Union of Heating Agents (OPZZ)
expressed concern about the lack of information about contracts for 2020[read more]. After
a very nervous week, on October 9, employees received information that the management
guarantees maintenance of all jobs next year. The company's management board, in a letter
sent to employees on October 9, gave a detailed list of orders and announced the
commencement of negotiations on a service contract with the Ostroleka Power Plant, which
is the main recipient of Energa Serwis's services.
In the information issued by the management board of Energi Serwis on October 9, we read:
"The company has enough orders for 2019 and partly for 2020 to ensure continuity of work
for all employees and guarantee the level of employment at the same level. The Management
Board would also like to inform you that it has started negotiations of a service
agreement for 2020-2022 with Energa Elektrownie Ostroleka SA, for which it has submitted
an appropriate offer. In addition, on 07.10.2019 Energa Elektrownie Ostroleka SA sent an
invitation to submit an offer for the boiler renovation in 2020.
The involvement of Trade Unions operating in the Company undoubtedly contributed to the
above. "
The "involvement of unions" about which the management writes consisted primarily of a
series of meetings with the management boards of companies belonging to the Energa group,
during which the trade unionists demanded clear information on orders and the employment
planned for next year. There were also meetings open to all employees at which plans of
protest actions were discussed if the management board of Energi Serwis did not provide
specific information. The pressure in the form of meetings, combined with the agitation of
the crew and the announcement of protests ultimately led to the fact that everyone working
in the company has employment guarantees. This shows once again that - according to one
slogan of the Employee Initiative - "without a fight there is nothing to count for a
better life".

The glyphosate scavengers (Read Libertarian Alternative, May 2019) gave the impetus by
having their urine analyzed and showing that we are all exposed to this poison. But today,
it's official: a study by Public Health has measured the massive presence of chemical
pollutants in our bodies. ---- The study of Public Health France [1], published Tuesday,
September 3, 2019, is based on the measurement of the presence of these pollutants called
" everyday " - especially bisphenols, phthalates, parabens, glycol ethers, flame
retardants brominated perfluorinated compounds - in the body of children and adults, from
a large sample (1,104 children and 2,503 adults) representative of the French population.
These products are " present in the body of all French people " and " higher levels of
impregnation are found in children ". These impregnations are done through, first of all
the food, in particular via plastic packaging. But cosmetics and care products, various
aerosols and industrial household products, materials for housing and furniture also
contribute to our intoxication.
They are characterized as carcinogens or endocrine disruptors, ie involved in a wide
variety of pathologies: obesity, lower intelligence quotient, lower male fertility,
cancers of the reproductive system, increased risk of spontaneous abortions or
malformations fetal. The impact of these products is not officially " encrypted ". There
are signs of a massive impact on our health.
And a study published Wednesday, April 9, 2014 of the National Agency for Food Safety,
Environment and Labor figures to " nearly 20 billion euros per year in France[...]the
socio-economic cost generated, at least, by indoor air pollution " [2], and" would cause
nearly 20,000 premature deaths each year ".
Another way to deal with these pollutions, that of the magazine 60 Million consumers : by
analyzing most sprays, deodorants and indoor cleaners, it showed that most contain toxic
substances and requires the establishment of a " Ménag 'Score ' which classifies household
products according to their toxicity to health and the environment. A study by the French
Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) [3]encourages the use of " homemade "
products.
Such solutions would no doubt allow the privileged fraction of the population to get away
with it. But to protect us all we must fight as the association Generations future " to
make the rapid disappearance of the substances pointed by these reports of Public Health
France of our environment an absolute public health priority ".
