10 ans gods Lenka - une fête d'anniversaire un peu différent

02/13/2009

Hw.- Le Grand-Duc ne se trouvait pas parmi les invités ni aucun autre dignitaire du régime. Pas d’officiels, pas de cérémoniel, pas d’encens. Le dixième anniversaire était une fête entre amis.

“Dix ans deja? Non, dix ans seulement, car ce n’est qu’un début.” André Hoffmann n’avait pas envie d’énumérer les mérites de l’organisation qu’il a contribuée à fonder. “Je n’ai pas besoin de montrer combien souvent nous avions raison. En matière d’analyse nous n’avons pourtant pas à rougir devant les experts de la haute finance et de la politique.”

D’abord deux messages écrits: celui d’Antoni Montserrat, président du CLAE, au nom de tous les étrangers vivant au Luxembourg et celui de Lothar Bisky, président du Parti de la Gauche Européenne, au nom des 600.000 militants de 30 partis. Ensuite 4 messages d’amis et voisins.

Roger Tirlicien, pour les communistes de Lorraine (“Par ma présence au 10e anniversaire de la création de Déi Lénk je suis venu dire dans un contexte de crise mondiale l’engagement du PCF pour une autre Europe. Nous avons la responsabilité d’entendre la colère des peuples d’Europe qui en ont assez de souffrir des politiques libérales au service du capitalisme globalized. "), Pierre Eyben, Liege, Belgium for communsites (" It is not easy to unite the left of the left. We believe that the Communists must now take part in a left front). Heinz Bierbaum, Die Linke Saar, brought greetings from Rolf PNSP and Oskar Lafontaine ("The crisis is not a blip, this crisis is the crisis of capitalism and sign the failure of neoliberal policies. ") Katrin Werner, Trier, Vice-President of Rheinland-Pfalz Linke (" Dei Lenk can be proud of doing politics from left to center of the financial center. We know his courage and professionalism. ")

Two speakers: Mark Baum, a student at the time of the founding of Dei Lenk, representing the younger generation, to review retrospective (" Dei Lenk was founded as a gathering of different currents in order to oppose a united front to the doctrinaire capitalism and give structure to movement consider the overcoming of capitalism not as an end in itself but as a way for a freer society ") . Jean-Luc Melenchon, senator, former Socialist minister, chairman of the Left Party founded two weeks ago, pour montrer les alternatives face aux bouleversements sociaux qui s’annoncent (“Pour la première fois je me trouve hors de France en tant que président du Parti de Gauche. Considérez ma présence ici comme la forme d’un nouvel internationalisme”).

La Presidencia Federal de IU proclama a Willy Meyer as head of the list for European elections

The governing body of the United Left reviews progress in talks with other political forces to agree on a solid left-wing candidate in the elections of June

Madrid February 21, 2009

The Federal Presidency of Izquierda Unida has officially proclaimed today as a candidate of this organization to the next European elections of June to the current MEP and coordinator of International Relations, Willy Meyer. The decision was made after reading about the proposed head of the list held on 7 February by the Federal Political Council and once proven the failure to file ningún candidato alternativo a Meyer.

La Presidencia valoró mayoritariamente el trabajo como eurodiputado realizado por Meyer los últimos cinco años. Al tiempo, la valoración compartida por este órgano de dirección es que la gravedad de la crisis económica obliga a IU a no distraer ni un momento la responsabilidad y el acuerdo plural con los que se están tomando las decisiones en los últimos meses para, así, dedicar todos los esfuerzos a buscar alternativas económicas, hacer propuestas de acción y exponerlas a la sociedad.

Este punto se trató al comienzo de la reunión de la Presidencia, que se está centrando en un análisis amplio y compartido internamente sobre the economic crisis. Also previously discussed the development of the dialogue opened by IU in recent weeks for possible electoral agreements with other political forces.

Reneses Miguel, secretary of organization and responsibility of the negotiating committee established for that purpose, held detailed meetings with ICV, Republican Left, the Confederation of the Greens and ERC. In all cases highlighted "the warmth, the good relations with all political forces and the considerable overlap in the analysis of the current economic crisis and proposals for European policies."

In the coming weeks there will be further meetings with some of these formations to advance a definitive agreement. At the time, internally, Izquierda Unida create a plural commission with representation from all their sensitivities to decide the order of the rest of the list in terms of IU leaders that will be part of it.

The proposed final list to the European elections should be finally ratified in the near Federal Political Council, the highest governing body of IU, which also review the agreements reached in the coming weeks with other political groupings.
