EUROPE IN CRISIS
The fight back against the neo-liberal cuts agenda begins now
The CWI school was attended by members of our sister parties from all over Europe as well as visitors from other parts of the world. Amongst the participants were workers and youth from Greece, where there have been 6 general strikes since the beginning of 2010, Portugal, Spain and Ireland where workers are resisting unprecedented cuts in wages and services in the name of neo-liberal ‘fiscal stability’ in other words a massive cut in living standard to transfer wealth from workers to the bosses. This strategy is the same as the ‘Con-Dem’ government has in Britain and if not challenged could plunge Europe in a severe economic depression. Tom will relay eye-witness reports of these struggles and report on the discussion around perspectives and strategy for this Europe-wide battle.
The meeting will also prepare for the important meeting of the Bristol ‘Anti-Cuts Alliance’ on Thursday 22nd.
Everyone is Welcome.
