Shut down G8This weekend in the city of Rostock there have been three days of discussion rounds to prepare the demonstrations against the G8 meeting.

Shut down G8 Summit!

The meeting started on Friday the 13th, with international movement network Dissent! and then with the german network Block G8 presenting the different initiatives that will take place from June the 2nd to June the 6th.

The main issue coming out of the meeting is that a Europe “from below” does exist, and it is activating more and more relationship and diferent forms of cooperation.

The italian group promoted an international meeting about the Borders issue, to which all the subjects coming to the meeting have partecipated.

During this discussion round we spoke about the groups that will actually go to Germany on June, but also about the forms of protesting to be practiced during the G8.

Yesterday many activists reached Rostock to attend the international meeting that prepares the counter-meeting agaist next G8 summit.

“We shall help in building the counter-meeting in Italy and we’ll try to be the most as possibile in Germany durino the G8 summit”.
