MARSEILLE
EUROPEAN FORUM, 10-11 November 2017
Friday 10 November, afternoon
Plenary.
Pierre Laurent and Olivier Dartigolles of the PCF, spoke of
solidarity with migrants and refugees, and said that there could be a whole new
era for progressive forces (the Left, socialists and ecologists). Laurent
referred to the need to construct a radically new Left in Europe, as there are
many threats to democracy, for instance the rise of populism and also said that the Social Forum should be a
yearly event, a space for uniting progressive forces in Europe.
Marco Revelli, an Italian comrade from L’Altra Europa con Tsipras, spoke
about the Sicilian regional elections, which resulted in a win for the Right,
and about the general rise of Neo-Fascism in Italy. The Five Star Movement
(M5S) was never a left-wing movement!! There is even a risk that the left might
end up as a minority in the European Parliament. The rights of people in the lower echelons of
society are those which are most threatened. This comrade too referred to the
danger posed by populists and identitaires[1].
Another French comrade said that to some extent we are still fighting
Fascism…..we are certainly fighting the rise of neo-Fascism., while a Danish comrade (Mads B. Petersen)
referred to the constant efforts by employers in his country to undermined
trade unions.
I then attended (with Tobias Abse and other British
comrades) a workshop on Brexit and Free Movement.
The speakers referred to the increase in hate crimes, the
first hate crimes were perpetrated literally 24 hours after the referendum
result was announced. There are serious implications for the Northern Ireland
Peace Process, and all our Freedom of Movement as EU citizens is at risk. The
LEAVE campaign was based on racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia.[2]
Andrew Burgin (Another Europe is Possible, the
Alliance for Free Movement) spoke of the necessity for the European Forum in view of the crisis in European politics,
and where Brexit fits into this. The problems include Trump and the rise of the
Far Right. The social base of the Brexit vote had an element of opposition to
globalisation – it was basically a Tory, white, nationalist vote, although
there was an element of working-class resentment. It has hardly been a success
for the Left! Since the referendum, there has been a 90% drop in nurses and
agricultural workers coming from the EU, and we need to discuss the rights of
EU nationals in the UK. We need to
campaign for a United Socialist States
of Europe.
The next speaker was Felicity
Dowling. She pointed out that the British working class has suffered a big
drop in wages, and an increase in precariousness and Zero Hours Contracts. The
housing crisis has worsened due to the fact that young people can no longer
claim Housing Benefit; young women still
don’t get equal pay, and local authority services have been cut to the bone.
The UK is a financial capital, not a manufacturing society anymore;
the City of London is based on financial dealing, the rest of the economy has
been globalised. The American model of
low wages and fewer workers’ rights has been introduced, rather than the EU
social model, and we need a campaign to make people realise that the EU isn’t
their enemy. She finally made the point that those who voted REMAIN didn’t
advocate staying on economic grounds, but OPPOSED LEAVING ON POLITICAL GROUNDS.
The next speaker was Francis Molloy (Sinn Fein). He pointed
out that Europe (the EU that is) is a friend of Northern Ireland, and that Sinn
Fein is a party of the Left, standing for a United Ireland and an equal , but reserves the right to be
critical of Europe. Brexit, in the view of Sinn Fein, is a disaster, but could
represent an opportunity for Irish Unity, as people in UIster would vote for a
United Ireland in order to stay in the EU. If Brexit goes ahead, and Northern
Ireland doesn’t get special status, they will lose all the current protections
and civil rights guaranteed by membership of the EU[3].
The re-introduction of borders would be most unwelcome.
Evening session:
ONE EUROPE FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM/UNE
EUROPE DE LA PAIX ET DES LIBERTÉS
Some of the discussion was about ‘social dumping;’ and it was
suggested that the Poles and the Ukrainians are the most hostile to the idea of
accepting refugees.
A Greek comrade said that Greek society in in principle
sensitive to the protection of immigrants, in spite of attempts to blockade the
Balkan corridor – Greece would continue to protect migrants and refugees, and also the LGBT community. Greek
citizenship is now being offered to the grandchildren of Holocaust victims.[4]
A French comrade suggested that there is almost a war against migrants, and that solidarity
with them is being criminalised. There is massive police violence against
migrants in France, especially in working-class districts, and criminal
proceedings have only ever been taken against one officer who killed a young
refugee (he received a suspended sentence). The comrade delivered a stirring
polemic against racism.
There was also a talk by a Belgian comrade from the Movement
for International Solidarity.
DAY 2
Morning session: LABOUR
AND SOCIAL RIGHTS IN EUROPE.
A French comrade started the session with a critique of Zero
Hours Contracts and precariousness (casualization), which is a particular
problem in the UK[5]……..
outlined the dangers of ZHCs for workers. Reference was also made to the Jobs
Act in Italy[6].
A Belgian comrade indicated that there are three layers of
negotiation between management and unions., In Belgium young people who leave
school and don’t immediately find employment are entitled to unemployment
benefit.
Then
there was a talk by Gabrielle Zimmer
of DIE LINKE[7]
in Germany. She said that the EU needs a social dimension; we need to consider
not only people’s working lives (including job security) but also their personal and cultural needs –
we need to introduce social rights for EU citizens. She stressed the need for
health insurance, and noted the rise of homeless people in major cities, such
as Cologne, where there have even been fights between German and Romanian
homeless.
She
stressed the need for the Left to unite, it is vital for us not to quarrel among
ourselves.
A
Polish comrade spoke on the subject of inequality, which he said was one of the
main causes of the current crisis in Europe. He also referred to the fact that
many jobs are vanishing because of automation and to wage inequalities between
countries in Europe – some of this fuels the rise of the Far Right. The length
of the working week (and working day) was also discussed.
The
next speaker was Johann Peter Andersen of
the Norwegian RED PARTY. Norway is not a member of the EU, but is a member of
the EEA. In Norway, the forces against membership were on the Left.
He
referred to the problem of ‘social dumping’. The Red Party believed that
workers from Eastern Europe (Poland, etc.), should be employed for Norwegian
wages, not be used to undercut wages[8].
They
believe that we can all co-operate in the struggle to reduce working hours. The
Norwegian public sector unions are campaigning for a 6-hour working day, as are
those in Sweden.
The
next speaker was Giorgios Katrougalos,
the Greek minister for European Affairs[9].
He said the Greek government is ‘the only Left government now in Europe’. He
also (like Gabrielle Zimmer) called
for a better balance between the social and economic dimensions of policy…..the
EU should have a Minister for Social Protection and Social Cohesion, not just a
Minister for Finance. We need a coalition with Social Democrats who have
realised that neo-liberalism is not working , e.g. Jeremy Corbyn. (Corbynism
vs. PASOKification).
A
Young Communist from France spoke of a huge
movement in France, particularly among young people, against the neo-liberal
project – he said that Macron was a 19th century liberal rooted in
the past. There should be a joint programme with Youth Organisations and the
Trade Union movement to combat neo-liberalism……we are now feeling the adverse
effects of neo-liberal policies throughout Europe, and we need to find points
of convergence.
He
was followed by another Greek comrade from the Public Service Confederation,
representing the Radical Left Union. He referred to the acceptance and the
‘normalisation’ of a bad situation, which is not a specifically Greek problem,
it is a Europe-wide problem of
austerity and neo-liberalism; it is a delusion to believe that the problem can
be solved by individual countries working alone, forces on the Left have to
co-operate.
Felicity Dowling began her talk by quoting Dickens
–‘The best of times, the worst of times’. There is a housing crisis in the UK,
no new council homes are being built. Homeless and destitute people are being
deliberately left to die, for instance of hypothermia or starvation, and
homeless refugees and migrants are being deported. The NHS is in crisis, but we
have had some help from Spanish comrades, who have supplied information about
the activities of multi-national companies in the Spanish and UK NHS. The worst
of our problems is of course BREXIT.
Next,
a female comrade from Germany returned to the topic of integrating EU social
policy and economic policy……the problem with the EU is precisely that the
economic programme does take precedence over the social programme, and this
needs to be addressed. She recommended that everyone should watch I, DANIEL
BLAKE!!!
The
next speaker was from Finland, and was the first to mention the question of
Animal Rights. The call to activate civil society was repeated.
The
next speaker was Paolo Ferrero[10]
from Rifondazione Comunista, one of the Vice-Presidents of European
Left. He introduced the topic of pensions, saying this was the one topic on
which all factions are united. There appears not to be enough money for a
decent pension for everyone in Europe, but if the European Central Bank can
shore up private banks, then money can be found for pensions. We can all agree
on the topic of retirement and pensions.
A
Spanish comrade referred to the existence of an anthropological shift in
working-class Spain – workers are expected to accept the losses caused by the
crisis, and this has led to a change in the way workers perceive themselves –
they no longer aspire to join Unions to improve their conditions. We have to
campaign for a minimum wage in each country in the EU. The question of
precariousness and the six-hour working day was again raised.
The
contribution by Julie Ward, MEP [11],
was in my opinion one of the best contributions to the debate. One of the
things she is most passionate about is the role of the arts in society, and the
fact that everyone should have access to the arts, including being able to
participate. She talked about the fact that so many jobs are unfulfilling,
demeaning and pointless….we should campaign to make work safe and fulfilling
for people. She also referred to the damaging cuts to libraries and social
services, these roles should not be filled by volunteers but by trained
professionals, and paid accordingly. There should be a balance between work,
family and leisure[12],
and Lifelong Learning should be available to everyone. The fact that public
services, the NHS and the welfare state meant that people are looked after
‘From Cradle to Grave’ is a GOOD THING – it is not good to demonised the
disabled, She referred to the UN damning report about the treatment of the
disabled and disadvantaged in the UK.
The
morning session concluded with a summing up by Gabrielle Zimmer. She said that
we are not yet entirely agreed on what the next steps should be……and repeated
that there is a need for health insurance for all EU citizens. The most
important thing is not to get side tracked into useless internal disagreements.
AFTERNOON SESSION
Vers un modèle de développement
soutenable/Towards a sustainable development model
The
first speaker was from TRANSFORM! Europe, a European Left Think Tank[13].
She outlined some proposals for the
ecological transformation of Europe, including developing the use of
renewables, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the investigation of
agri-business practices. The current industrial model should be completely
transformed; we need to reduce our dependence on cars, and we need to protect
Nature and the Earth. It is acknowledged that the ecological transformation
would be very costly, especially for countries which rely very heavily on
fossil fuel.
The
question of economic sustainability must also be addressed.
We
next heard from Heinz Bierbaum[14] from DIE LINKE. He spoke of the need to develop a Europe 2020
strategy to unite industrial policy and the social and ecological
transformation of society – this requires investment in public infrastructure.
The
European Trade Union Confederation proposes
a programme of investment in public infrastructure, social housing and
education. We should be producing goods that fulfil social and ecological needs
– some trade unions have been working on transferring military goods into
social goods.[15]
We need industrial democracy, the participation of workers in corporate policy.
The
speaker from the Parti Communiste Francais was the first to elaborate upon the
threat of insecticides to wildlife, especially bees[16].,
and threats to food supply – the example of contaminated eggs. There should be
stricter international food quality regulation. The general topic of Climate
Change was raised, with reference to the increase in Climate Refugees, and the
future of the Arctic. The riches of the earth should be confiscated from the
multi-nationals.
Fiona
Edwards from the
British Labour Party also made the link between Climate Change and poverty, and
pointed out that Western Europe is still not doing enough to cut carbon
emissions – perhaps not surprisingly, right-wing governments are especially
remiss in this area. She said that Jeremy Corbyn has plans to end austerity and
create ‘green jobs’. The era of fossil fuels must come to an end.
Julie
Ward, MEP, spoke
again, reinforcing the point about the links between economic and environmental
sustainability. She spoke again about the vital role of culture and the arts in
the community – culture enables us to communicate and forge an inter-cultural
dialogue – including cultural work with refugees. She also spoke about the idea
of challenging sponsorship of cultural events by big business, especially oil
companies, and mentioned the umbrella group ART NOT OIL. The Joint Statement of the
organisations contributing to this is here in the footnote. [17]
There is a link between sustainability, citizenship and public participation.
A comrade from the French
organisation ENSEMBLE also took up the question of a social Europe, and the
need for the integration of economic, social and cultural policy. The subject
of the Mafia was also raised!! Water and waste treatment are very lucrative for
the
Mafia[18], and the Camorra makes
more money through trafficking waste than through drugs.
Mike Davies of the Alliance for Green Socialism
introduced the subject of Zero Growth or de-growth (décroissance). Economic
growth is not actually a good thing, but a disaster, there can be no such such
thing as Green Growth, and the idea of de-growth or Zero Growth should be more
actively pursued. Unfortunately, the pressures of time didn’t allow him to
develop this point in detail, so he came under criticism from other speakers
for advocating a sort of ‘deep ecology’ in an unscientific manner…….a pity,
because it could have been a valid point if there had been more time to develop
it. Someone pointed out that Ecology is a SCIENCE. I have found a partial definition here – as it
says, ‘degrowth’ is not the same as ‘downsizing’.[19]
A speaker from the PCF referred to the inadequacy of
‘greenwashing’. Environmental issues should be included on all political
programmes. She introduced the idea of
‘negative VAT’, taxing anything that could be detrimental to society. The root
of the problem is CAPITAL….not just accumulated wealth, which could be used to
improve people’s lives instead of using it AGAINST people and the environment.
We need to develop public services, and the common good must come first.
Environmental and social issues need to be reworked and fully integrated.
FINAL SESSION
Where do we go from here, should there be a standing forum, and
in which case, what form should it take? A young Austrian comrade said that
Europe (the EU) should be a force for peace).
PANEL DISCUSSION
All speakers were in agreement as to what the next forum should
discuss – social questions, ecological questions, economic questions;
campaigning against economic power and exploitation.
Gregor Gysi, from the European Left, spoke of
the need for the Left to be united, and for us to campaign in solidarity for a
democratic, ecologically responsible EU. Environmental reform must go hand in
hand with social justice. We need to be wary of the ghost of Fascism.
It was concluded
that
“We therefore undertake to organise a second
European Forum of leftist, green and progressive forces, to be held in 2018. To
achieve this we will establish a technical working group, comprising
representatives of the diverse forces participating in these two days, which,
in consultation with the organisations present here, will propose the format of
the second edition. The goal is for the next Forum to continue the work that we
have initiated this year, going into more depth and achieving broader
participation.”
JANE SUSANNA ENNIS, 7 Dec 2017
[1] Les Identitaires (English: The
Identitarians), formerly the Bloc Identitaire, is a nativist and identitarian
movement originated from France and
present in several states on the European continent.
It has been described as right wing and far right.] It was
founded in 2003 by some former members of Unité Radicale and several other
nationalist sympathisers, including Fabrice Robert, former Unité Radicale
member, former elected representative of the National Front (FN)
and also former member of the National
Republican Movement (MNR), and Guillaume Luyt, former member of
the monarchist Action française,
former Unité Radicale member, former director of the youth organisation of the
FN, National Front Youth (FNJ).
Luyt claims inspiration by Guillaume Faye's works in the Nouvelle Droite movement.
The youth wing of Bloc Identitaire,
called in France Génération Identitaire (Generation Identity),
expanded to other European states soon after its creation in 2012, the most
important being Generazione Identitaria in
Italy and Identitäre Bewegung in Germany and Austria.
Other youth wings are also present in the Czech Republic, the Netherlands,
Belgium, Slovenia, Hungary, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
[2]
It has subsequently transpired that the LEAVE campaign has also been referred
to the Fraud Squad, we did not know this at the time of the conference.
[3] The loss of protections would of course not
only affect Northern Ireland, but the whole of the UK.
[4]
I understand that this is happening in Germany as well…….that is, the
grandchildren of people who arrived in the UK as refugees in the 1930s are now
applying for German citizenship.
[5]
And is likely to become considerable worse after Brexit.
[6] The
final steps approved by cabinet aim to make job centres more efficient, broaden
unemployment benefits and give employers more power to monitor their workers’
performance. They complete a policy package first presented by Renzi 15 months
ago. The main parts of the reform, which kicked in early this year, ease firing
restrictions for large firms and offer temporary tax breaks for companies that
hire workers on permanent contracts. The
so-called “Jobs Act” has been welcomed by big businesses which have long
complained about how difficult it was to fire workers, and are lapping up the
tax breaks. (Reuters, September 4,
2015)
The fact that the Jobs Act has been welcomed by Big Business
tells us more or less all we need to know about its intention……it is now much
easier to dismiss people without explanation. Naturally it was fought by the
unions, since it destroyed protections that had existed since 1970.
[7] LINKE The Left (German: Die Linke), also
commonly referred to as the Left Party Linkspartei,
is a democratic socialist[14] and left-wing populist[2] political
party in Germany. The party was founded in 2007 as the merger of
the Party
of Democratic Socialism (PDS) and the Electoral Alternative for Labour and Social Justice (WASG).[15]
Since mid-2012, its co-chairs have
been Katja Kipping and Bernd Riexinger. In the Bundestag the party
won 64 out of 630 seats after polling 8.6% of the vote in the 2013 federal
elections and, after the Social Democrats and the CDU/CSU formed a grand
coalition, became leader of the opposition.[16] In the 2017 elections, the
party acquired 69 out of 709 seats after receiving 9.2% of the vote. Its
parliamentary group is the fifth largest among the six groups in the German
Bundestag, ahead of the Greens. The Left is a founding member of the Party of the
European Left, and is the largest party in the European
United Left–Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL) group in the European Parliament.
[8]
As is the case in the UK.
[9] Georgios Katrougalos (born 27 March 1963) is a Greek jurist and politician who
is the current Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs. He previously served as
the Minister of Labour and Social Solidarity from 23 September 2015 to 5 November
2016 and from 18 July 2015 to 28 August 2015. From 27 January 2015 to 17 July
2015 he served as an Alternate Minister of Interior and Administrative
Reconstruction in Tsipras's first cabinet
He is currently a professor of public
law at the Democritus
University of Thrace. From 2014 to January 2015 he was a Member of
the European Parliament representing Greece.
A former FIAT worker,
he started his political commitment at the age of 17, joining the Proletarian Democracy party.
Unlike the majority of his party, Ferrero is religious and is a member of
the Waldensian
Evangelical Church and was the leader of the youth evangelical
Waldensian federation before fully entering politics in 1987. He served
as Turin city councillor from 1993 to 1997. He
has two children, aged 18 and 12.
Ferrero was first elected as a Member
of Parliament in 2006. Prior to his appointment to the cabinet of Prime
Minister Romano Prodi in
2006, he was responsible for the Communist Refoundation Party's social,
economic and labour department. He is responsible for social policy, national
civil service, non-EU immigrants and drug-related policies.
On 27 July 2008 Ferrero was elected
secretary of the Communist
Refoundation Party, winning over the other major candidate Nichi Vendola.
[11] Julie Ward (born
7 March 1957) is a British Member of
the European Parliament for the North West England region for the Labour Party. She was elected in 2014.[1]
Ward campaigns against violence against
women, organising events for One Billion Rising.[2]
Before being elected as an MEP, Ward
was part of an international delegation to Belfast to discuss the role of the
arts in peace processes[3] and ran a social enterprise.[4]
[12]
I asked her if she was familiar with William Morris’s USEFUL WORK versus
USELESS TOIL, as much of what she said seemed to reflect Morris’s ideas, and
she confirmed that she was indeed familiar with William Morris.
[13] transform! europe is a network of 32 European
organizations from 21 countries, active in the field of political education and
critical scientific analysis, and is the recognized corresponding political
foundation of the European Left Party (EL). This collaboration of independent
non-profit organizations, institutes, foundations and people means to utilize
their work to contribute to peaceful relations among people and to a
transformation of the present world. Overcoming war, dominance of capital,
social injustice, patriarchy, imperial rule and militarism as well as racism,
working towards the establishment of an association in which the uninhibited
development of each and every person is condition for the uninhibited
development of all shall represent the highest goals of this undertaking. The
equality of all people and their solidarity represent the most important values
transform! is based on.
When the discussion points towards
the democratic and social dimension which must be incorporated in to the Europe
of tomorrow, it can only be continued with the people of the Middle and Eastern
European countries. The role of civil and social organizations has to be
strengthened in order to be strong pillars of the construct of a pan-European Union.
It is important to involve everyone into the European integration process and
an initial step is the establishment of the European
network transform! which combines leftist and socialist intellectuals
and will accompany the reformation and integration process of the EU expansion
through communication and recommendation.
The members of
the transform! network coordinate their scientific and educational
work, carry out in cooperation theoretical and educational events, organize
discourses regarding chief issues of the democratic left in Europe and in the
whole world, they work together on publications and educational materials and
work towards an intercontinental dialogue of the Left and its scientific and
educational institutions.
transform! represents an open network. Member can become
who supports the goals and accepts the commitments of transform! and who is
found able and willing to be actively involved in purporting the ideals and
values as agreed upon by all members.

Someone did mention Animal Welfare in the morning session, but didn’t elaborate
upon it.

Not to be confused with downsizing or Shrinkage (disambiguation).
Degrowth (French: décroissance) is a political, economic, and
social movement based on ecological economics, anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist ideas. It
is also considered an essential economic strategy responding to the limits-to-growth dilemma (see The Path to Degrowth in
Overdeveloped Countries and post-growth).
Degrowth thinkers and activists advocate for the downscaling of production and consumption—the contraction of economies—arguing
that overconsumption lies at the root of long
term environmental issues and social inequalities. Key to the concept of
degrowth is that reducing consumption does not require individual martyring or
a decrease in well-being.] Rather,
"degrowthists" aim to maximize happiness and well-being through
non-consumptive means—sharing work, consuming less, while devoting more time to
art, music, family, nature, culture and community
[20] Alexis Tsipras (;
born 28 July 1974)[1] is the Prime Minister of
Greece, in office since 21 September 2015. He previously served as
Prime Minister from 26 January 2015 to 27 August 2015. Tsipras has been leader
of the left-wing Greek
political party Syriza since 4 October
2009.
Tsipras was born in Athens in 1974.
He joined the Communist Youth
of Greece in the late 1980s and in the 1990s was politically
active in student protests against education reform plans, becoming the
movement's spokesperson. He studied civil engineering at the National
Technical University of Athens, graduating in 2000, and later
undertook post-graduate studies in urban and regional planning. He
worked as a civil engineer in the construction industry, based primarily in
Athens.
From 1999 to 2003, Tsipras served as
the secretary of Synaspismos Youth.
He was elected as a member of the Central Committee of Synaspismos in 2004, and later the
Political Secretariat. In the 2006 local election, he ran as Syriza's candidate for Mayor of Athens,
winning 10.5%. In 2008, he was elected as leader of Syriza, succeeding Alekos Alavanos. He was first elected to
the Hellenic Parliament representing Athens A in the 2009 election, and was
re-elected in May and June 2012, subsequently becoming Leader of
the Opposition and appointing his own shadow cabinet.
In January 2015, Tsipras led Syriza
to victory in a snap
legislative election, winning 149 out of 300 seats in the Hellenic
Parliament and forming a coalition with the Independent Greeks.
20 August 2015, seven months into his term as Prime Minister he lost his
majority after intraparty defections, Tsipras announced his resignation, and
called for a snap election, to take place the following month. In the September
2015 election that followed, Tsipras led Syriza to another
victory, winning 145 out of 300 seats and re-forming the coalition with the
Independent Greeks. As Prime Minister, he has overseen negotiations regarding
the Greek
government-debt crisis, initiated the Greek
bailout

the Movimento Democratico e Progessista.
