Water, land, income, house, jobs, commons, social rights and democracy in Italy and Europe
Call for the construction of a nationalwide demonstration
in Rome (Italy) on May 17th
A new era in privatization of the commons, in attacks against our social rights and democracy is beginning.
The extraordinary victory achieved at 2011 water referendum shows that consent to a “private is better” ideology has ended and the multitude of open conflicts dealing with the defence of commons and local territories suggests the possibility and the urgency of a new social model. But crisis, built on the trap of public debt, is proposing again the ideology of “private is compulsory and indispensable” in a strong and fierce way.
The European Water Movement will host three workshops during the European summer university for social movements to be held in Paris from 19 to 24 August.
