「我々は、この運動を政治的探求の実験として、新たな政治的実践として創りつつある」
ベルティノッティ(イタリア共産主義再建党 )
New European Left lashes EU policies, treatment of
immigrants
-The left-wing and communist parties also declared
themselves in favour of European disarmament and
withdrawal from Iraq, and called for the dismantling
of all NATO and United States bases on European soil.
ATHENS - The European Left Party, a new movement
linking 17 left-wing and communist parties, lashed out
Sunday at "neo-liberal policies decreed in Brussels,"
which were crippling Europe.
"Europe must be refounded on the values of peace,
democracy and full respect for social and human
rights," said a manifesto winding up the group's first
congress.
The document made an impassioned appeal against war,
poverty and brutality towards immigrants, and called
for withdrawal of US-led forces from Iraq.
"Europe is undergoing a crisis caused by neo-liberal
policies decreed in Brussels," read the declaration,
in a reference to the European Union's executive
commission.
It denounced the Bolkestein Directive, a European
Commission initiative aimed at creating a single
services market within the EU, and promised proposals
for job-creating initiatives.
Recent deaths of immigrants in a fire in an Amsterdam
detention centre and in clashes at Spain's north
African enclave of Melilla exposed the "brutality and
bankruptcy of 'Fortress Europe,'" the document said,
urging new policies based on respect for human
dignity.
Participants included German former finance minister
Oskar Lafontaine, head of Germany's newly-formed Left
Party, Fausto Bertinotti of Italy's Rifondazione
comunista, and French Communist Party leader
Marie-George Buffet.
Parties from Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic,
Estonia, Hungary, Luxembourg, Portugal, Romania, San
Marino, Spain and Switzerland were also represented in
the new European formation created last year.
"We leave with the Declaration of Athens...(and) step
back into society, (among) the unemployed, refugees,
social outcasts and the young, to fight on the side of
all those with whom we can change Europe," said
congress host Alekos Alavanos, chairman of the Greek
Left Coalition party.
Re-elected to chair the new movement, Bertinotti said
there is "a need to create a left-wing force in
Europe, to create a truly alternative solution for our
societies."
"We are building this party as a laboratory for
political research, and to organise a new political
practice," he said.
The left-wing and communist parties also declared
themselves in favour of European disarmament and
withdrawal from Iraq, and called for the dismantling
of all NATO and United States bases on European soil.
Next April Athens will host the fourth European Social
Forum (ESF), an annual conference organised by trade
unions, NGOs, refugee groups and other social
movements opposed to the negative aspects of
globalisation.
