No border camp and actions in Gorizia-Italy, July 2006

Invitation - Call to Action

NO BORDER CAMP 2006, a summer of freedom, Gorizia, north-east Italy, from 19 to 23 of July 2006.

From some months the Detention Center of Gradisca d'Isonzo (GO) is working and they have been imprisoned more than 150 persons.

To little kilometers of distance, in the Center of Entertainment of Postojna in Slovenia, from years they are inmates women, children, refugees without some hope neither to exit neither to see the most elementary rights satisfied.

The border Italo-Sloveno of Schengen brands like "irregular migrants" hundred and hundred of persons for year and producing, like in past, one History of violences and ingiustizie.

These "centre of the shame" are wounded opened in the territories, but in the same time they show the inexorable objective of politicals intervention and the engagement of whom practises the insubordination and the resistance on the border.

Through the fights that they give years we carry ahead, we are resolutions to create between Italy and the Slovenia an effective territorial and transnational net of such opposition to monster, to Europe di Schengen, for the free circulation and Europe of the citizenship rights.

But in spite of this opposition, social and institutional, the former Minister of the Insides Italian Pisanu has ignored the will of the territory and its citizens and has opened the lager of Gradisca. In the same way we have seen all the contaddiction of Italian party representatives the left, than from oppositori, yesterday,to opening of the lager, today is found again to "governing it". And it is always presentthe blackmail of arbitrary European standards, that it's used in order to justify the existence, in every country, of these monstrous systems of deprivation of the freedom and humiliated of the human dignity.

But the responsibility of the existence of these centers falls back also on who these centers make them to work. They are the agencies managers, than, showing an attendance activity, in truth speculates on the life of the migranti and they become rich taking advantage of their suffering. It's the case of the Minerva Cooperative that manages the Detention Center of Gradisca.

In these weeks serious episodes are emerged that demonstrate the climate inside this cpt: actions of self-destruction of the migrants, rooms of control and isolation, continuous tensions between migrants and workers of the Minerva, some trying of escape, hunger strikes and one insufficient attendance to persons with health problems. Moreover, because of the particular regimen to which these centers they are subordinates, has been and is still difficult to understand the real number of persons daily withholdings, transferred or deported.

We are convinced, today like yesterday, than beyond whichever political color they can have the European governments, the only way in order to close the lager of Gradisca, that one of Postojna in Slovenia, like all that present in every other country, is that one of mobilitation again in permanent way against the Detention Centers and against the legal-economic system that holds them in feet.

The proposal that we have carried to the Assembly of the IWW to Verona the 3 june 2006, and to the nets that acknowledges to you, is that one to join and to participate since endured to a mobilitation that means to besiege the border orients them of Europe fortress. In order to make this we launch the invite to all the local, national and European nets, to participate and to construct with, a week of actions, you debate yourself, music and of public initiatives against the cpt, for the free circulation.

A week in which the lager of this territory, the management of them and all those who of it allow the operation, will not have peace, because that shame goes closed sluice, as the center of Postojna in Slovenia and all go sluices the other European Centers of Deportation. We launch this appeal to all the European antiracist nets, to all the truths that in these years have fought against the lager for migrants, racism and the precarity, in order to meet again to us with to Gorizia from the 19 to the 23 July 2006, where we will use the Sociale Center Clandestino as field base for besiege of the border and the Detention Centers!

For the free circulation of people!
Not one is illegal, we are all migrant's

This summer, from the 19 to the 23 the antiracist July, the network movements of the north-east of Italy and the Slovenia organize to Gorizia a No Border Camp to organize a new season of struggle against the Detention Centers.
