Strasbourg on Sunday

The sun's still shining and lots more people are arriving..

Sunday as is usual has been a quiet day here today. Festival Permenant Contre les Lois Racistes (Permanant Festival against Racist Laws) has started its tour of the Strasbourg banlieus (big housing estates) with the assistance of the Publix Theatre Caravan bus. This is an important outreach project of the No Borders camp. They have arranged visits to these estates dotted around the outskirts of the city hosting public forums on such subjects as the issue of racist cops.Strasbourg with its wealth and Euro capital grandeur, and twee tourism, hides a more sinister exterior where undocumented refugees and people from people from the lower orders are dumped on these estates.

We'll be going out there on Tue and Thu banging a few drums with the kids alongside our mates from Amsterdam, freshly arrived on site.

Tomorrow is a potential biggie. The twenty or so undocumented people who have crossed Germany will be part of a block that will go to the Euro Court of Human to rights to demand their human rights. Such as: 'why do I have stay in the same region of Germany where I am registered, why can't I move around freely, just like goods or capital which can flow freely across international borders'. Oh and we'll probably turn up as well..

Speak to you soon
