International meeting for the formation of a European organized anti-imperialist platform
An international meeting for the formation of a European organized anti-imperialist platform took place in Italy on 23-24 November.
The meeting was
attended by comrades from Italy,
France and the organizations
of Turkish workers, youth and women in Europe from Germany,
Holland and Austria.
During the
meeting there was discussion and decisions have been made on the following
points:
1. The economic
crisis, its attacks and our tasks
2. The path
towards a European anti-imperialist coordination
3. Initiatives of
solidarity with political prisoners
4. Initiatives to
support the Filipino people

On the first
point it has been stressed that the current stage is marked, on the one hand,
by the competition between imperialists for a new definition of the world, sharpening
the inter-imperialistic contradictions and pressures to aggression and wars; on
the other hand, imperialists, their agencies and governments are united in unloading
the crisis on the people’s masses, whose resistance and opposition against any
kind of government instilling in each country grows and is responded with repression
and fascist tendencies.
In this
situation, it becomes more and more urgent the task to give unity and leadership
to the resistance movements that develop in each country, to respond to the attacks
against democratic organizations and further develop the peoples movements,
fighting against all governments in each country to give answers to the
problems of the masses.
At this aim, the
forces that took part in the meeting are committed in the formation of a
European organized anti-imperialist and anti-fascist platform. A proletarian,
anti-imperialist and anti-fascist front, that will unite the mass organizations
operating in the struggle movements and expel the agents of the enemy:
opportunists, reformists and electoralists.

Since many other
organizations were contacted during the preparation of this meeting and had already
expressed their willingness to be part of this kind of front, but, for various
reasons, were unable to attend, it was decided to form a provisional organizing
committee. It will convene a new meeting to be held in Austria next 8-9
February and draft for that date the organizational principles on which the
call to join the platform will be based. The provisional committee will also
carry out a division of tasks, a plan for invitations and a general appeal for the
next meeting.

In recent months,
due to the development of mass resistance movements and state repression, the
number of political prisoners has increased in all countries, and their
situation is even more critical . In many countries, political prisoners resist
and fight against the inhuman conditions in prisons and the unjust detention
and, outside the prisons, already campaigns are ongoing to create favorable public
opinion for their struggles, to defend them and demand their release.
For this, from 25
to 27 April 2014 in Turkey
an international symposium on political prisoners is being organized by a
specific body based there. It is important the next months to prepare the
participation and success of the symposium with concrete campaigns in each
country and by putting together all the organizations operating in each country
in the solidarity with political prisoners. In particular, the meeting decided
to support and develop in each country a campaign in support of the Turkish
political prisoners in the period of 19 December, the anniversary of the
massacre of in Turkish jails, and an international day of action for the
release of political prisoners in India, that is to be launched by the
International Committee of support to the People's War in India. A plan and specific
letters and calls for each country to include in this work other organizations of
solidarity with the political prisoners has also been decided.

The recent
disaster in the Philippines puts in front of us two urgent tasks, the first is
to contribute to concrete initiatives of solidarity with the people of the
Philippines, the second, and most important, is to give voice to the people, to
their revolutionary, democratic and popular organizations, to expose the
strategic nature of the “humanitarian” aids of imperialism, which takes
advantage of the situation to send the army in the guerrilla areas and increase
the role of military advisors and U.S. troops in the counter-insurgency war,
planning another war on people.
In addition to the
continuing of the efforts already undertaken in solidarity in the different
countries, the meeting decided to issue a joint statement to be spread and subscribed
by people’s and democratic organizations in every European country and to
assess the possibility of a round of initiatives of solidarity with the
presence of fellow Filipinos.
