WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, MONDE-LIBERTAIRE #1861- EDITORIAL: THE JOY OF LEARNING* (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Anarchists know it well: the reality of a new world without laws,
without cops, without prisons, without hierarchy, will come through
education. An emancipatory education, the promise of new behaviors
allowing us to live together the values of autonomy, responsibility,
solidarity. From La Ruche to Bonaventure, anarchists were not content
with words. Today let us look, with vigilance, towards the Lycée
self-managed in Paris or the Lycée experimental de Saint-Nazaire, which
those in power would undoubtedly like to see disappear. ---- This file
gives pride of place to emancipatory pedagogies, in order to describe
what this education could be.

Let us savor what Henri Laborit says about it: "It must be able at every
moment to press itself onto life, penetrate it, incorporate itself into
it. And not just professional life, but life in general. That of the
handshake, that of the newspaper that we read in the evening when we
come home, of the family or social problem that we must resolve, that of
international relations. It shakes all values, from the most obvious to
the most questionable. She tirelessly questions everything. It pushes to
revolt against prejudices, hackneyed concepts, primary truths,
'essences', admirable certainties, morals, ethics, against words, all
words if they do not lead to writing a poem, and when it is written, to
tear up the sheet which had accepted it.» (The new grid, Editions Folio)

WORLD WORLDWIDE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, OCL CA #340 - Editorial: It was better afterwards (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

If the past and the external world exist only in the mind and if the
mind is capable of receiving directives. So what? ---- George Orwell,
1984 ---- After the first crisis following the industrial revolution,
the first world war, the last of the last, the industrialists were able
to send women back to their homes without a thank you and the
politicians demobilized the riflemen survivors and prepare them for
colonial exposure. ---- And wham! the Roaring Twenties. ---- After the
second, the "time of the Americans" has consumed us, women can elect
their masters and riflemen eager for war pensions are liquidated.
Night and Fog. Sorrow and pity.
Nuremberg Trials; creation ex nihilo of the State of Israel, a foothold
of the West in the Middle East. Tokyo Trial; occupation of the Japanese
archipelago, a foot of the West in the Far East.
Some retraining of intelligence agents and rocket technicians in the
process.
And hop! The Thirty Glorious.

Subsequently, long colonial wars in Indochina/Vietnam, in Algeria;
sometimes more "quiet" in Black Africa, some modern politicians having
been trained in universities in the North. Elites for sure. The West and
the East still use this playing field to impose themselves ideologically
but above all to get their hands on endless deposits - diamonds,
precious metals and today rare earths... Decolonizations, rarely total,
never completed , partly in the midst of civil war, are still prey to
the needs of formerly dominant or newly partner imperialist powers, such
as China of market socialism.
Against an increasingly distant ideological backdrop, worried heads of
state fear the members of their own governments and suppress their
opponents. The rebels live on the peasants who "host" them and are
punished for it. Ego issues like national interests, opportunistic or
matured for a long time, explode and swallow up the needy lives that
cannot help themselves.
But they are still developing!

Trade agreements, transfers of mining or forestry concessions,
authorizations for military installations, "cooperation" of all kinds,
from State to State, are the fruit of political and geostrategic issues
on which populations have no influence. have no grip. The ground that
they have sometimes tread on forever has become the terrain of
confrontation for dominant foreign powers. What cannot be swallowed up
through markets will be swallowed up through war, the other form of
politics as one might say... So the Silk Roads - the old and the new -
the trails and straits which lead to a strategic piece of land or an El
Dorado are they the object of desire whose limits are constantly being
pushed back, of History truncated into dubious legitimacy.

The world map, then, does not exist outside the heads and delusions of
colonialist conquerors, soldiers and/or economic predators. The
distribution of peoples, tossed from colonization to nationalism,
ordered to behave as makeshift allies or enemy brothers, from forced
promiscuity to arbitrary separation, from partition to reunification...
nowhere corresponds to the borders that others have drawn. The fractures
of the world, the sound and fury, the sweat, blood and tears and the
smokescreens that accompany them are broadcast by satellites. One news
chases the other, and emotions are first shattered by the scoops, then
move away from them like the papers on the front page, all the way to
the stall... This is the case with Russia and Ukraine; of Palestine and
Israel, which relegate Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Syria, Kurdistan, Sudan,
Ethiopia, to Congo Kinshasa, Sri Lanka, Myanmar; wherever hot spots are
marked against the changing background of star presenters, analysts,
experts, political scientists who debate and lecture from magazine to
news flash. At a pace and in such a learned manner that the stunned
common man is reduced to the state of collateral witness. And to explain
to him this is how the world is going and that they take care of it.

The moving borders, the political walls, which are erected here and
which fall there...
"Si vis pacem, para bellum".* Armed peace, nuclear deterrence, the
balance of terror... all this reassuring and lucrative stuff is a sword
of Damocles. Which is worth its weight in gold when it falls.
And boom, here we go again!

Boulogne sur Mer on April 21, 2024

WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY SICILIA - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, Sicilia Libertaria: BRIDGE OVER THE STRAIT, the work that shatters territories and communities - Corrado Speziale (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 

The bridge over the Strait of Messina returns to being an affair
suspended on a span that oscillates between unscrupulous and predatory
policies on the one hand, and economic interests benefiting the few on
the other. In the middle, the acquiescence of many citizens, often
deprived of awareness and unaware of what really happens between the
secret rooms of power. In this sense, there is no doubt about how much
reasonableness, common sense and above all good politics, with a few
exceptions, on this topic have always abandoned this splendid corner of
the world, the Strait of Messina.

A few days ago, the shock that almost like an "earthquake", an event
tragically known in these parts, disturbed the inhabitants: between the
shores of Sicily and Calabria the infamous project of the mega stable
crossing project rematerialized Strict. Which this time does not go
unnoticed, since the Notice of initiation of the procedure aimed at
affixing the expropriation restriction has in fact shaken around 450
families, who would be deprived of homes and properties in general, but
above all, of their most loved ones. rooted and deep. Because the
"devastation" that would result would affect the history and dignity of
entire communities. To the surprise of many, the bridge does not only
pass over the heads of the inhabitants of Messina and Villa San
Giovanni, but rather over 29 municipalities, between Sicily and
Calabria. "Only" 14, however, are those interested in expropriations.
But let's go in order.

The contract with Eurolink, an association of general contractor
companies that had been awarded the design and construction of the work,
expired in 2013. As a consequence, Stretto di Messina Spa, a state
concessionaire created ad hoc in 1981, owned by Anas , RFI, Calabria
Region and Sicilian Region, no longer had any reason to exist. So,
having burned over 300 million euros over the years, in the absence of
an additional act that would guarantee the sustainability of the
economic and financial plan for the construction of the infamous work,
the curtain had finally fallen on the bridge affair. The Monti
Government had decided this, with the administration and liquidation of
the "Stretto" company. But Eurolink and the American Parsons, consultant
on the project, have initiated legal proceedings with the concessionaire
company, and therefore against the State, at the Civil Court of Rome. At
stake are substantial amounts of indemnities and penalties which, based
on certain calculations, and above all claims, for Eurolink alone would
have exceeded 700 million euros. The decision of the Government of the
time, which went down in history for its particular affection for the
spending review, effectively stifled the ambitions of Berlusconi & Co.,
who were counting on the "objective law" to rout any opposition, whether
technical-bureaucratic or political. The work, even before it was born,
collapsed, both under the blows of the opposition from below led by the
No bridge movements on the banks of the Strait, and under the choices of
a government aware of the absence of both public and private capital,
necessary for the construction and management of the infrastructure.

Case closed? Not really, because on the bridge the attitude of politics,
regardless of the parties, is clear: those in government have always
supported the work, those in opposition have always declared themselves
against it. First of all, Minister Salvini and his party: from no to
yes. Conversely, there are parties that have gone from yes to no, like
the Democratic Party. It is clear that for those who govern the
operation it is too attractive to stay out of it, regardless. Thus,
while everything seemed to be in jeopardy, with the ongoing dispute
which saw the State winning in first instance over the general
contractor, the Meloni Government, in this case the Minister of
Infrastructure Salvini, put in place a measure of rare incorrectness and
illegitimacy: the Decree -Law 31 March 2023 n. 35, to which, as such,
among other things, the essential requirements of necessity and urgency
are attributed. The most controversial public work in Italian history,
which failed before it was born, since 1981, has been treated in the
same way as an accidental and unpredictable event. The decree, not
before having suffered authoritative, burning attacks and criticism in
the Environment and Transport Commission of the Chamber, by, among
others, the president of the Anti-Corruption Authority, was converted
into Law 26 May 2023, n. 58. The ANAC, from the first moment, noted the
existence of significant shortcomings and inconsistencies to the
advantage of the private entity compared to the public one. First of
all, the non-existence of prior acceptance by the general contractor to
waive the litigation initiated following the closure of the previous
contract. While regarding the award, disagreements emerge in the
application of the regulations, in relation to the project amount as it
would be increased, in the absence of a new tender. Added to this is the
corporate composition of the general contractor, now led by Webuild, a
Salini group, which has changed over time following various corporate
events. For one thing: even those who lost the tender would now be
awarded the contract together with the old contenders, with the
possibility that the amount would exceed the limit imposed by law.

In all of this, the Stretto di Messina company is resurrected from its
ashes, in which the Ministry of Economy enters fully, with an absolute
majority of the capital, which will exercise its powers in agreement
with the Ministry of Infrastructure. A centralization of no small
importance. And the project? An integrative report expected by 30
September last year would have resolved the update problem. But the same
was "spread" over five versions. The latest, on 20 January 2024. The
act, in its progress, not made available at the request of the
parliamentarians of AVS and the Democratic Party, is the subject of
investigation at the Rome prosecutor's office following a complaint from
the parliamentarians themselves. Over time, the renewed Scientific
Committee of Stretto di Messina Spa issued its opinion on the
"Designer's Report" on January 29th: the document is full of
considerations, observations and recommendations. The latter alone are
68 and concern fundamental topics such as the stability and safety of
the work. However, the experts express a "positive opinion", subject to
a host of problems. So, what are we talking about?

Already in house, the project is considered lacking the requirements for
it to be defined as definitive. So, it is necessary to take stock of
some data. The Ministry of Infrastructure resurrects the bridge project,
which is being updated, in which according to "observers", around 95
percent of the documents date back to the old version, 2011-2012. Both
the project and the contract are re-awarded without a new tender. The
cost of the work, included in the Def, is 14.6 billion euros, but 11.6
billion euros were foreseen in the latest budget law. The difference
could avoid the impasse for the new award. Is everything calculated? 1.6
billion euros will come from Sicily and Calabria, funds stolen from the
Development and Cohesion Fund: precious money for infrastructure and
essential services. As for the planning process, almost simultaneously,
since the beginning of March documents and documents have been pouring
in in digital version which affect offices, local authorities,
associations and above all thousands of citizens, on three dimensions:
the opening of the services conference for the collection of opinions on
the Definitive project; the Environmental Impact Assessment procedure;
the Notice of initiation of expropriation proceedings. There is an
unprecedented acceleration of procedures regarding a public work. In
general, design shortcomings of all kinds refer to the executive project
to come. Perhaps. Fundamental technical-economic documents are missing
and many of those presented are illegible. The race against time begins:
on 16 April the services conference began at the Ministry of
Infrastructure. April 13 was the last day for submitting observations in
the context of the EIA at this stage. Sixty days, starting from April 3,
is the period within which observations can be made regarding the
expropriations. On this last aspect, information and counter-information
interface in Messina: on the one hand the employees of the Stretto di
Messina Spa, on the other, the activists of the No Ponte Capo Peloro
committee. On the first day of opening of the desk at the "Antonello"
Palaculture, while inside some "expropriated persons" were received for
the relevant information, outside the militants of the committee, in a
participatory sit-in, disseminated useful information to anyone would
request: "Expropriate, no thanks!".

Therefore, to clarify this phase: "Any expropriation procedure can be
started only after the approval of the definitive project, with the
related declaration of public utility by the CIPESS - Inter-ministerial
Committee for economic planning and sustainable development". The
message is "We are all expropriated". The whole city would be
"expropriated". Messina is affected from south to north, from Contesse
to Torre Faro. A very hard reality to accept, considering that until
yesterday the bridge seemed exclusive only to this last location, namely
Capo Peloro. The single-span bridge over the Strait is 3 kilometers and
300 meters long, supported by two towers, each 399 meters high. All
this, in one of the areas with the highest seismic risk in the
Mediterranean, where, among other things, impetuous and turbulent winds
rage. An underground railway line of over 18 kilometers is planned that
crosses the city longitudinally, passing through three stations located
on viale Europa, Annunziata and Papardo. The motorway link, over 11
kilometres, in turn, would start from the Giostra junction. Among
operational construction sites, areas for underground stations, storage
and environmental recovery sites, logistics construction sites and
available areas, there are 23 sites. An enormity of spaces and risks,
considering the hydrogeological fragility of the Messina area, which on
1 October 2009 counted 37 victims in the Giampilieri flood.

The most significant observations within the EIA, developed in the short
time frame allowed, of just 30 days, were drawn up by the associations
Italia Nostra, Kyoto Club, Legambiente, Lipu, Man and WWF. They were
joined by the expertise of the association Instead of the bridge and the
No bridge Capo Peloro committee. 38 experts from all over Italy worked
in synergy, including 12 university professors from 9 different
universities. "The documentation presented in the EIA by the proponents
relating to the Environmental Impact Study and contextual impact study
on the sites of the Natura 2000 Network, in no way can legitimize a
definitive project that does not present all the necessary geognostic,
hydrological, seismic, agronomic investigations , biological, chemical,
naturalistic, landscape", the observers write among other things. "The
definitive 2024 project has been neither updated nor integrated, with
exhaustive responses to the 18 requirements only partially fulfilled
according to the EIA technical commission in 2013". The project, in
light of the counterarguments, is "widely incomplete in its responses to
the request for additions which leaves the negative impact assessment
expressed in 2013 unsurpassed". The observers then focus on the seismic
aspects and those relating to wind stresses. As for the cost-benefit
analysis, they recognize that "the construction of the bridge, in
addition to entailing a very significant burden on the public coffers,
also generates economic benefits lower than the costs with losses of
approximately 1.5 billion euros". Then, given the type of work, the
observation you don't expect: "The definitive project is not accompanied
by updated transport studies and traffic flows, postponed to the
future...". And again, there are gaps with respect to the Preventive
Assessment of Archaeological Interest, "identical to 2012" and
irregularities with respect to the landscape plan: "The construction
sites would replace the territory, erasing it". The Impact Assessment is
disregarded, among other things, with the underestimation of the
deviation of the canal that connects the lakes and flows into the
Strait, in the middle of a natural reserve, where the tower is planned
on the Sicilian shore. Also in this context, the devastating
consequences on migratory birds are described, given that these are
Special Protection Areas. Not least, the impact dictated by the high
quality of water needed to get the construction sites up and running, in
the face of Messina's water problems and the crisis that lies ahead in
Sicily.

But above all, the aspect of health protection is disturbing:
"Cardiorespiratory and tumor pathologies associated with environmental
pollution were detected as early as 2013. A minimally credible HIA -
Health Impact Assessment is not produced for the EIA 2024". The response
from the Technical Commission for the verification of the environmental
impact of the Ministry of the Environment was not long in coming: 239
additions were requested. How else could we call serious design
shortcomings in the environmental field? How do you comply with this
mass of critical issues? Therefore, assuming there were still doubts,
the bridge is unsustainable. We learn of a phone call from the CEO of
the Strait of Messina Ciucci to Salvini, complete with a request for
clarifications for the ministry's decision.

Reflection: on the project, in the immediate future, the competent
offices, both central and territorial, net of the risk of being
partially or totally deprived of their technical-administrative
functions, will experience hard times. The bridge is a political issue.
According to Salvini's plans, the CIPESS should express its opinion on
June 30, but the times will be postponed. The hearing for the resolution
of the dispute with Eurolink is scheduled for 14 October. The laying of
the first stone, initially scheduled for next summer, according to the
minister will now have to take place by the end of 2024. But it won't be
easy. "There is no doubt that we are undergoing a process of
militarization of cities. There is only one antidote to this announced
tragedy, and that is the No Bridge fight", write the militants who
recognize themselves in the collective that meets in Messina, at the No
Bridge Space.

WORLD WORLDWIDE CANADA PALESTINE - news journal UPDATE - (en) Canada, Collectif Emma Goldman - [Palestine] To confront the Nakba and the ongoing genocide: Resistance until liberation and return (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 

Ongoing Nakba, ongoing genocide ---- For more than 76 years, the Israeli
apartheid colonial regime has maintained its system of domination and
oppression through a strategy that rests on three pillars: forced
displacement and transfer , colonization and finally apartheid. This
regime is made up of a plethora of policies, practices and laws that
result in the creation, maintenance and increase of the world's oldest
displaced population: 9.17 million Palestinian refugees and internally
displaced people. They continue to be denied their rights to reparation,
including return, restitution of property and compensation, as provided
for in Resolution 194 of the United Nations General Assembly of 1948.
These pillars have in further allowed Israel to control 85% of the lands
of Mandatory Palestine.

After more than seven months of Israel's genocidal war against the Gaza
Strip, Palestinians remain unprotected and continue to be killed,
starved, tortured, besieged and forcibly displaced again and again. As
such, not only is Israel attacking a protected population, but it is
also taking steps to slowly destroy it, turning humanitarian aid into a
weapon of war, to the point of malnutrition and starvation, as well as
destroying infrastructure sanitation and denying health services.

Backed by its colonial allies, Israel has not only refused to ease its
stranglehold and genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, but has also
intentionally withheld much-needed aid from the starving Palestinian
population, particularly in the north. In particular, he deliberately
obstructed the work of UNRWA and many other international agencies.

Palestinian refugees represent 81% of Gaza's population, and also
experience internal displacement: approximately 1.7 million Palestinians
out of the 2.3 million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are internally
displaced. This represents 75% of the population and constitutes one of
the largest displacements since 1948. It is clear that the genocide in
Gaza is not an isolated event, but rather a component of the ongoing
Nakba, which responds to the Israel's ultimate goal is to control as
much Palestinian land as possible, with as few Palestinians as possible.

Escalation of repression against Palestinians

As part of the ongoing genocidal war against Gaza, Israel has
intensified its repression of Palestinians in the West Bank, including
in Jerusalem and 1948 Palestine. At the same time, Israel has
strengthened its policies aimed at silencing voices. Palestinians.
Confiscation and restrictions on access to land coupled with settler
attacks have led to the murder of hundreds of Palestinians and the
forced displacement of thousands of them.

Israeli forces have heavily targeted Palestinian towns and refugee camps
in the West Bank through daily incursions and raids, killing residents
and destroying public infrastructure as well as homes.

The number of arbitrary arrests has also skyrocketed, with an abundance
of reports of torture and ill-treatment, medical neglect, systematic
abuse, beatings and attacks on prisoners. Furthermore, the Israeli
apartheid colonial regime continues to withhold the bodies of political
prisoners, thereby depriving them of a dignified burial.

Permanent complicity

During 76 years of Nakba, the States of the international community
continued to support the Israeli colonial apartheid regime and guarantee
it impunity, thus ignoring their legal and moral obligations. The
Western colonial powers continue to provide political, financial and
military support to Israel while contenting themselves with a
communication strategy based on empty declarations "deploring a
humanitarian crisis". These states thus became active agents of
genocide, using aid as a weapon of war and supporting Israel in its "day
after plans", including its campaign to withhold funding, eliminate and
to replace UNRWA. While Israel has still not provided evidence for its
allegations, some complicit states have deemed the latest UNRWA
investigation report "insufficient" and continue to block its funding.

Constant resistance and solidarity

Despite more than 76 years of displacement, oppression, ethnic cleansing
and genocide, the Palestinian people remain steadfast in their quest for
liberation and resistance against the apartheid Israeli colonial regime.
Palestinian resistance in all its forms, in Mandatory Palestine and
abroad, is supported by a surge of solidarity across the world. The
efforts of the global solidarity movement stand in stark contrast to the
evident moral and legal bankruptcy of colonial states and their leaders.

Today, more than ever, we reaffirm that the only solution to the ongoing
Nakba is a comprehensive, law-based decolonization process that will
guarantee the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to
self-determination and return.

Palestinian resistance, combined with the sustained and strategic
efforts of the global solidarity movement, is the only way to end
Israel's genocidal war against the Gaza Strip. It is long past time to
sanction and dismantle Israel's apartheid colonial regime, and to ensure
that colonial states are held accountable for their complicity.

WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY TRIESTE - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, Trieste, Germinal: POLIFROCE (re)WRITINGS (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 

The society in which we live imposes on us the concept of
hetero-mononormativity, stating that monogamy is the only valid
relational orientation, worthy of rights and representation. We often
don't feel safe living or sharing other forms of relationships, because
we can't find the right words or for fear of being judged. Other times
we are curious to experiment with other types of relationships, without
however having models of representation. ---- SmarzaPride invites you to
(re)SCRITTURE POLIFROCE, an afternoon dedicated to the theme of
non-monogamous relational orientations, in which you can talk freely
about your experiences and doubts, in which you can put your creativity
into play to regain your voice on this topic and propose your own
representation.
* Do you want to find answers to the questions "What would I do?, What
would I say?, How would I react?", in a lot of relationship situations?
Then the Let's have a PolyKiki board game is for you!
* Are you tired of always seeing just the same couples in the art around
us? Then get ready for Arte PolyAmorizzato, a moment of artistic
collages in which to create our polyartistic representation!
* Do you think Disney is still keeping its polyamorous fairy tales
hidden from us? So don't wait any longer, take part in PolyFroce Fairy
Tales to rewrite modern fairy tales from a new point of view!
* While waiting to cross the streets of Trieste again with the next
Smarza Pride on June 15th, we look forward to seeing many of you on
Sunday May 19th at 5pm in San Giusto.
Following there will be an aperitif with buffet (bring what you can or

WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE GERMANY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Germany, Die Plattform: International solidarity against the floods in Brazil! (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Dear friends, dear comrades, ---- Recently, heavy rains and the
resulting floods shook the south of Brazil, especially the state of Rio
Grande do Sul. It is the worst flood in the history of the regional
capital Porto Alegre. The population's situation is catastrophic. On May
9th, civil protection reported that around 1.7 million people were
directly affected. Well over 100 people have died in the water and many
more are still missing. 400,000 people have lost their roof over their
heads and the numbers continue to rise. All of this once again
demonstrates the destructive potential of the climate crisis caused by
capitalism.

Porto Alegre is also the home and center of the political work of our
sister organization Federação Anarquista Gaúcha (FAG). For almost 30
years, the comrades have been active in the diverse struggles of the
exploited and oppressed in their region. In trade unions, neighborhood
organizations, the student movement, feminist and anti-racist struggles.

Now FAG is turning to the global anarchist movement and therefore also
to all of us with an urgent call for solidarity. Many comrades are
themselves directly affected by the flood. Some have had to leave their
homes, others have no electricity or running water. The Ateneu
Libertario in Porto Alegre, which serves as the base for FAG's
activities, also had to be temporarily closed because the risk of
flooding was too high. So that the comrades can get back to work
quickly, they need our support.

Especially as activists from the global north, we see it as our
responsibility to support our comrades. We therefore ask you to spread
the call for solidarity and donate to the comrades.

De live-opname van dit concert, met ook Hisaishi's Tweede symfonie, verschijnt 28 juni op cd en streaming. → Kijk op YouTube Daniel Hope: Irish Roots (CD) €18.99  Bestel Sibelius: Violin Concerto; Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No. 1 (CD) €18.99  Bestel Renaud Capuçon: Gabriel Fauré (CD) €18.99  Bestel Bekijk meer klassiek op Platenzaak.nl Tarmo Peltokoski debuteert op Deutsche Grammophon De voorraad Finse dirigeertalenten lijkt wel oneindig.
