Once testigos procedentes de diez pa\u00edses de \u00c1frica Meridional, Oriental y Europa Occidental declararon, al Tribunal de los Pueblos, en Bruselas, a un aumento de la desigualdad, el desempleo, la falta de vivienda, el empobrecimiento y violaci\u00f3nes de los derechos humanos que han resultado de las pol\u00edticas de la UE y de la Troika.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bruselas (16 de mayo de 2014) – Un Tribunal sobre la gobernanza econ\u00f3mica de la UE y la troika tuvo lugar en Bruselas los d\u00edas 15-16 de mayo. Once testigos procedentes de diez pa\u00edses de \u00c1frica Meridional, Oriental y Europa Occidental daban testimonio del fracaso de las pol\u00edticas de la UE y la troika para afrontar la crisis. De hecho, muchos declararon que la estrategia de las medidas de pol\u00edtica de austeridad es un ataque deliberado contra los niveles de vida de las personas que trabajan.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

………………..<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sus historias muestran c\u00f3mo las vidas y medios de vida de las personas han sido devastadas por las medidas de austeridad y otra pol\u00edtica – ya sea a trav\u00e9s de la troika (Comisi\u00f3n Europea, Banco Central Europeo y el Fondo Monetario Internacional) o por imposici\u00f3n directa sobre los gobiernos nacionales de las pol\u00edticas fiscales camisa de fuerza, la reestructuraci\u00f3n de las pol\u00edticas laborales y sociales que favorecen a los mercados financieros, los grandes bancos y corporaciones.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………………<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan Christos Giovanopoulos (Solidarity4All, Grecia), \u00abcon la dictadura financiera y pol\u00edtica de la Troika, nos enfrentamos a una (in) constitucional\u00bb golpe de Estado \u00abque ha llevado a la p\u00e9rdida de la soberan\u00eda nacional y popular y la desaparici\u00f3n de democracia \u00ab. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………….<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Testigo tras testigo declar\u00f3 que el aumento de la desigualdad, el desempleo (que afecta a mujeres y hombres, a trav\u00e9s de las generaciones, pero es especialmente alto entre los j\u00f3venes), la falta de vivienda, y el empobrecimiento. Seg\u00fan Georg Pis\u00f3n (Attac Alemania), \u00ablas estad\u00edsticas m\u00e1s recientes de la OCDE indican que alrededor del 20% de la poblaci\u00f3n de Alemania es afectada por la pobreza o la exclusi\u00f3n social. Los ni\u00f1os se ven especialmente afectados.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

El IAB (Instituto de Mercado de Trabajo alem\u00e1n) ha calculado que uno de cada cuatro ni\u00f1os vive en una familia afectada por la pobreza. \u00bb En Eslovenia, de acuerdo con Kira Cerjak (Iniciativa por el Socialismo Democr\u00e1tico), \u00abla fuerza de trabajo se ve obligado cada vez m\u00e1s en el trabajo precario, que no basta con que los medios de vida decente\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

……………….<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

En toda la UE, de acuerdo con Gabriele Michalitsch (Universidad de Viena), \u00abtenemos un enorme aumento de la pobreza femenina y del trabajo no remunerado en el hogar. Tambi\u00e9n vemos la privatizaci\u00f3n del cuidado de ni\u00f1os<\/strong> y personas mayores que se transfieren de manera informal, en particular a las mujeres migrantes que se ven privados de sus derechos b\u00e1sicos, y espera que trabajen por salarios muy bajos \u00ab.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

………………<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Informes a nivel europeo de los ponentes de la deuda, la democracia, la pobreza, los servicios p\u00fablicos, los salarios y las perspectivas feministas colaboraron los relatos presentados en las situaciones nacionales que indican hechos alarmantes, incluyendo la intensificaci\u00f3n del racismo y el neofascismo.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………………..<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Desde el comienzo de la crisis, se ha producido una reestructuraci\u00f3n que lleva a Europa en una pista a la regresi\u00f3n social y pol\u00edtica, violaci\u00f3nes de derechos laborales, sociales y migrantes, los ataques a los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres y el aumento de la violencia contra las mujeres y un retroceso de la democracia sin precedentes logros. Todos los testimonios milim\u00e9trica a tendencias similares en toda la UE – dando un fuerte mensaje de que esta no es la crisis de un pa\u00eds, no es en toda Europa una crisis y una crisis del modelo econ\u00f3mico.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

—-<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sin embargo, el mensaje dominante del Tribunal es que la resistencia contin\u00faa en movilizaciones grandes y peque\u00f1os y en muchos experimentos creativos de la democracia de base. Ana Mar\u00eda Jim\u00e9nez de la PAH (Plataforma de Afectados por las Hipotecas en Espa\u00f1a), inform\u00f3 que: \u00abHoy somos m\u00e1s de 200 nodos en el estado. Hemos dejado m\u00e1s de 1.000 desahucios, hemos reubicado m\u00e1s de 1.000 personas a trav\u00e9s de nuestra campa\u00f1a de la Obra Social \u00ab.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

……………….<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A pesar de grandes dificultades, las personas se est\u00e1n organizando para demostrar que el agua es un bien com\u00fan p\u00fablico y no puede ser privatizada como en las iniciativas de Sal\u00f3nica e Italia participan ciudadanos y el gobierno local; parando desahucios en Espa\u00f1a; sindicatos que defienden su derecho a organizarse y derrotar los intentos de dumping social como en los Dockers huelga en Portugal; confrontando el racismo y el neofascismo en muchos pa\u00edses; la construcci\u00f3n de varias formas de auto-organizaci\u00f3n de las personas para contrarrestar los efectos de la austeridad y la construcci\u00f3n de un paradigma diferente de los servicios p\u00fablicos gestionados social y una econom\u00eda de bienes comunes.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

……………<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Los desaf\u00edos pendientes para los movimientos sociales en los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os son: el retroceso de las leyes de austeridad impuestas por las instituciones europeas; la cancelaci\u00f3n de la deuda ileg\u00edtima e insostenible; medidas redistributivas para revertir la desigualdad y la aplicaci\u00f3n de los impuestos sobre las empresas y los individuos ricos; el pleno reconocimiento a nivel europeo del derecho a la vivienda, el agua, la alimentaci\u00f3n, la educaci\u00f3n y los servicios de salud; el cierre de los campamentos en los que los migrantes y los refugiados son encarcelados y el pleno reconocimiento del derecho a la negociaci\u00f3n colectiva y el fin de trabajo precario.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

……………..<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Los movimientos sociales en Europa ya est\u00e1n en un proceso necesario volver a inventar formas de hacer pol\u00edtica. Pero para poder hacer frente a las pol\u00edticas de la gobernanza econ\u00f3mica de la UE y la Troika, el mayor reto es la convergencia y fortalecer las fuerzas y establecer otra agenda para otra Europa.<\/span><\/p>\n

The EU and crisis: from austerity to solidarity <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Eleven witnesses from ten countries in Southern, Eastern and Western Europe testified, at a People’s Tribunal in Brussels, to increased inequality, unemployment, homelessness, impoverishment and violations of human rights that have resulted from EU and Troika policies.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Brussels (16 May 2014) \u2013 A Tribunal on EU economic governance and the Troika took place in Brussels on 15-16 May. Eleven witnesses from ten countries in Southern, Eastern and Western Europe gave testimony to the failure of the EU and Troika policies to address the crisis. In fact many testified that the strategy of the austerity policy measures is a deliberate attack on working people\u2019s standards of living.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Their stories showed how people\u2019s lives and livelihoods have been devastated by the austerity and other policy measures \u2013 whether via the Troika (European Commission, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund) or by direct imposition on national governments of straitjacket fiscal policies, the restructuring of labour and social policies that favour the financial markets, the big banks, and corporations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………….<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Christos Giovanopoulos (Solidarity4All, Greece), \u201cwith the financial and political dictatorship of the Troika, we are confronted with an (un)constitutional \u2018coup d\u2019\u00e9tat\u2019 that has brought the loss of national and popular sovereignty and the demise of democracy\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………….<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Witness after witness testified to increasing inequality, unemployment (affecting women and men, across generations, but is especially high among the youth), homelessness, and impoverishment. According to Georg Rammer (Attac Germany), \u201cthe most recent statistics from the OECD indicate that around 20% of the population in Germany is affected by poverty or social exclusion. Children are particularly affected.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………………<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The IAB (German Labour Market Institute) has calculated that one in four children lives in a family affected by poverty\u201d. In Slovenia, according to Kira Cerjak (Iniciative for Democratic Socialism), \u201cthe labour force is increasingly forced into precarious work which does not suffice for decent livelihood\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

……………..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Across the EU, according to Gabriele Michalitsch (Vienna University), \u201cwe have an enormous increase in female poverty and of unpaid work in the home. We also see the privatisation of child care and elderly care being transferred informally, particularly to women migrants who are deprived of their basic rights and expected to work for very low wages\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

……………..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Europe-wide reports from rapporteurs on debt, democracy, poverty, public services, wages and feminist perspectives collaborated the narratives presented on the national situations indicating alarming developments, including intensifying racism and neo-fascism.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the crisis, a restructuring has occurred that takes Europe on a track to social and political regression, violations of labour, social and migrant rights, attacks on women\u2019s reproductive rights and increased violence against women and an unprecedented roll-back of democratic achievements. All the testimonies pinpoint to similar trends across the EU \u2013 giving a strong message that this is not the crisis of one country, it is a Europe-wide crisis and a crisis of the economic model. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

……………<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

However the dominant message from the Tribunal is that resistance continues in large and small mobilizations and in many creative experiments of grassroots democracy. Ana Maria Jimenez of the PAH (Platform of People affected by Mortgages in Spain) reported that: \u201cToday we are more than 200 nodes in the state. We have stopped over 1.000 evictions, we have relocated over 1.000 people through our Obra Social campaign\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite great difficulties, people are organising to demonstrate that water is a public commons and cannot be privatised as in the Thessaloniki and Italy initiatives involving citizens and local government; stopping evictions in Spain; trade unions defending their right to organise and defeat attempts of social dumping as in the Dockers strike in Portugal; confronting racism and neo-fascism in many countries; building several forms of people\u2019s self-organisation to counter the effects of austerity and constructing a different paradigm of socially managed public services and an economy of commons. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

…………..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The outstanding challenges for social movements in the next years include: the roll-back of austerity laws imposed by the European institutions; the cancellation of illegitimate and unsustainable debt; redistributive measures to reverse inequality and enforcement of taxation on corporations and wealthy individuals; the full recognition at the European level of the right to housing, water, food, education and health services; the closure of the camps where migrants and refugees are imprisoned and the full recognition of the right to collective bargaining and an end to precarious work. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

……………..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Social movements in Europe are already in a necessary process to re-invent ways of doing politics. But to be able to counter the policies of EU economic governance and the Troika, the greatest challenge is to converge and strengthen forces and set another agenda for another Europe. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
