International Camp against Capitalism and Imperialism in Greece
(14.-22.06.2003) Thessaloniki
organized by
STRUGGLE INITIATIVE THESSALONIKI 2003
This is a report stitched together by some individuals who were at the preparation meeting in Athens on 23.-24.11.2002. Apologies for the delay (there is a war going on, you know...)

The European Union Summit is opening on June 20st in Thessaloniki, in northern Greece. Around Thessaloniki itself and Halkidiki, the three-legged peninsula there is to be a large exclusion zone of several miles. Any attempt to get to the actual venue will end up with people fighting in the countryside far away from it. However, since Porto Carras Hotel is a small place, it can be blockaded by the demonstrators. We are waiting for your ideas, in order to organise the best blockade mission to the Porto Carras Hotel. We will stay in the town of Thessaloniki, the second town in Greece (1.500.000 inhabitants), where the great demonstrations are going to be held. Our aim is to formulate a left block against the EU’s politics and the European governments, the Greek EU-presidency as well. Let’s fight with us against capitalism and its supporters.

In this context we invite you to take part in the INTERNATIONAL CAMPING AGAINST CAPITALISM AND IMPERIALISM, which is organized by us in Thessaloniki, Greece (14.-22.06.2003). We would like to get in contact with everyone who turns down the European Union substantially, to discuss on our opinions and our movement experiences and to march together against the RED ZONES in front of our future.

The participation in the Camping is free of charge, the different opinions are of course respectable, we can offer you any possible help (Medicare, orientation, communication) and the action program can be enriched by your suggestions, e.g. workshops, discussions, ideas. The intention to be in touch with you after the EU Summit 2003 in Thessaloniki is of highest importance. We can meet each other in the next fighting mobilizations taking place in the future…
