The Convergence assembly gathered this 28th of March in the World Social Forum in Tunis
expresses its solidarity with the Greek people fighting against austerity, for democracy, social
change and an other Europe.
The Assembly is convinced that the Greek as well as the European social movements have a key
role to play and that they have to take action in the comming weeks to oppose firmly the blackmail
organized by the European Institutions on the Greek government and on the Greek people.
Responding to the Declaration of the German trade unionists “Greece after the Elections — not a
Threat but an opportunity for Europe” (see: http://wp.europa-neu-begruenden.de/griechenland-
chance-fuer-europa/greece-after-the-election-not-a-threat-but-an-opportunity-for-europe/) and the
Declaration of the General Assembly of the Altersummit « Give Greece a chance » (
http://www.altersummit.eu/accueil/article/give-greece-a-chance) which is supported by numerous
European networks this WSF Assembly proposes to all social, trade union and political
organizations:
to express on 1st of May its solidarity with the Greek people everywhere in Europe and a to
call for international delegations to take part in the May demonstration in Athens ;
to meet on 2 May to discuss and to decide common actions of solidarity
to actively participate in the festival of « Solidarity for all » in mid of June in order to make
it a great mobilisation of the grass root movements throughout Europe expressing their
support for the Greek people.
To use the Peoples Summit 8 – 9 June in Brussels to inform broadly about the struggle of the
Greek people.
to mobilize for a European week of decentralised action in June against austerity and in
solidarity with the Greek people (date to be confirmed depending on the scheduled
negotiations between Greece and the European Institutions) ;
a European citizen assembly on the dept in a major European city (outside Greece) in
autumn
a major social and political event in autumn in Athens.
The future of the Peoples of Europe is linked with the future of the Greek people. Together, we will
build another Europe ! The time to act is now !
The convergency assembly call also the International Council of the WSF to actively involve in the
solidarity with the people, the movements and the government of Greece – by using its
communication tools to spread information, helping in this way the global mobilization.
In this context we support the proposal to hold in the first semester 2016 a strategic seminar
between WSF International Council members, European networks and global social actors and
movements in Athens.
