Block the Vichy European Summit on Immigration, November 3-4 2008!
On the next November 3rd and 4th , the French presidency of the European Union will gather, upon the initiative of Brice Hortefeux, French minister of immigration, integration and national identity, the whole 27 European ministers of Interior and Justice. They will all meet in Vichy, the historic capital of the pro-Nazi regime in France during the Second World War, where deportation of the Jews, along with other "undesirable" people, was orchestrated by the government. Today, the European ministers will attempt to firmly discuss on the control on the fluxes of immigrant workers and the application of the (in)famous « return directive », that facilitates the deportation of migrants at
European level.

We cannot let this provocation happen without an answer. In a time where people without a status are answering to government chases by burning retention centers at many places in Europe, it's a minimal task for those who support them to disrupt this gathering of ministers.

What's needed is to physically keep this congress from happening, by taking over the city, block access to it, seize public space, disrupt everyday life in Vichy until these occupying forces leave.

In France, various collectives and political organisations have started a mobilisation. A demonstration will happen on moday the 3rd , 18h00 in Vichy. For logistical information (travelling plans, accomodation...),
please contact vichy2008 at riseup.net. Keep in touch The migratory politics are now european, so must be our answer to it !

ALL TOGETHER IN VICHY.
