Final declaration of the Assembly of Social Movements (ASM) - 2009 To change Europe
The ASM is a space for coordination between different social movements, making joint commitments and priori-
ties for the year to come.
2009: To Change Europe
On the European level, we are witness-
ing a liberal and anti-social front on all domains: economic financial crisis, pri-
ce increases, food borne illness crisis, privatization and disassembly of public services, movements against work re-
form, decisions of the European Court of Justice, dismantling of the Common Agricultural Policy, reinforcement of Fortress Europe against migrants, weakening of democratic and civil rights and growing repression, econo-
mic cooperation agreements, military intervention in external conflicts, milita-
ry bases… all this in a world where in-
equalities, poverty and global and per-
manent war are increasing day by day.
In this context of global crisis, we want to reaffirm that alternatives do exist for global justice, peace, democracy and environnement.
We, the European social movements gathering in Malmö, have committed on a common agenda in the way to lead the fight for "another Europe" and Europe based on the people’s rights.
