10-11-2004 18:18
The EU-ministers responsible for immigration and refugee policies are convening in Groningen, Netherlands from the 9th until the 11th of November to discuss integration. Integration is the latest part of their harsh immigration and refugee policy. Platform N10 wants to protest and give alternatives to this policy.The immigration and refugee policy is mainly intended to keep refugees and migrants out of the borders of Fortress Europe. Those who do receive permission to stay will not get the same rights as an EU-citizen. By differentiating between two kinds of citizenship, the EU wants only to profit from the labour contribution of these new citizens. However, at the same time, the EU undermines the existence of this group of people by cutting back their social securities. N10 wants same rights for everybody!

Gypsies are facing eviction from their own land this week,despite an all-party commission's recommendation today

dug in waiting for Blair to act: will they get a place to go
or see their caravan site bulldozed, as happened at
Chelmsford earlier this year.

29-10-2004 17:47
From 9th till 11th November the EU ministers responsible for migration and integration will convene in Groningen, Holland. They will discuss how to manage migration better and how to force people to integrate in a way the EU can benefit from those they can employ and discard of or even destroy the lives of those who are unemployable. This calls for an anti-racist, anti-classist and anti-patriarchate answer. This is why an anti-racist summit is organized during those days. This posting calls on everybody to come over and fight together for equal rights, the right for an existence and for radical changes. Underneath you can find a call to take part in the big demonstration on 10th November and a call to participate in a forumdiscussion on 10th November in Groningen, HollandDiego Garcians in London: Update
