What this Action is About [en francais]
|
We invite people from all over the
world who support the french students in resistance and oppose the precaritization
of life to join the Electronic
Disturbance Theatre and borderlands
Hacklab on March 16th and 17th, 2006 to engage in a virtual
sit-in on french government websites to demand that all of the students
be released from prison and that the 'contrat première
embauche' (CPE) be revoked. The action will end at 12:00AM on the 18th, friday night at midnight.
While the CPE only effects people
in France, people around the world are suffering from the system that
the French students are protesting against. The neoliberal, corporate
model of society increases the precarity
of life for everyone through employment instability, war and
environmental destruction. It must be stopped. Youth all over the world
face bleak prospects under the current models. New economic and social
models must be developed.
As students and workers continue
to occupy the Sorbonne and march through the streets of France, we will
join them with our virtual bodies from around the world. SOLIDARITY
WITH THE STUDENTS OF FRANCE! SOLIDARITÉ!

News
From
Portland Indymedia:
- On march the 7th, 400.000 people demonstrated against a new
law concerning workers, CPE. CPE "deregulates the job market. CPE means
e.g. anyone who gets a new job can be fired within 2 years - at any
day, without a cause... e.g. companies will now be allowed to let young
employees work all night - if they are at least 15... and so on. CPE
makes workers lose many of their rights...
- On march the 10th, 1 million people all over France protested against
CPE
- As of Thursday, March 16th, over 64 and universities all over France
have been taken over by students with strikes and occupations.
All over France riots and Clashes with
the police....some protesters heavily injured... In Toulouse protesters
managed to occupy states´buildings... 300 pupils stopped a
high speed train (TGV)... In Marseille 5000 pupils attacked police and
police stations afters some arrests of demonstrators... schools are
occupied by teachers and pupils, e.g. le college de france, or a school
in Lannion and and and... in Lille states bulindings were occupied...
At the weekend police stormed into
Sorbonne university, Paris, beating people, using teargas. Police was
attacked militantly by the students - ladders, chairs, and so on were
thrown on them from the top of the building.
From
The Age in Austraila: THOUSANDS of students marched through
Paris and blockaded universities across France as their revolt against
the Government over a controversial new youth employment law
intensified.
Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has
staked his reputation, and possibly his job, on a measure that aims to
cut rampant youth unemployment with two-year contracts that enable
employers to sidestep rigid French labour laws and fire young workers
without reason.
It has provoked violent protests and on
Tuesday, riot police were on standby in the capital.
"This is not 1968 all over again," said
a Sorbonne University student, referring to the tumultuous Paris spring
riots. Elodie, 21, a sociology student, said: "The issues are different
from those our parents were protesting about. We are marching for the
right to proper jobs."
Romain, 20, a communications student,
said: "We don't want the Anglo-Saxon economic model here."

doivent être développés. Car les étudiants et les ouvriers continuent à
occuper le Sorbonne et à marcher par les rues de la France, nous les
joindrons avec nos corps virtuels de partout dans le monde. SOLIDARITÉ
