Rog factory, Thursday, 20th of March 22.30 Mayor of city of Ljubljana Zoran Jankovi? decides to make an unexpected visit. He notifies the people in Rog that he will order the evacuation and sealing of Rog. Upon being asked what the reason for his decision was he said that the users broke the agreement with The City Council of the City of Ljubljana (MOL) which claimed that no one was to reside in the factory. The reason for his decision was supposed to be the hosting of ?Brothers of liberty?, a German medieval craftsman guild, which is holding a congress this weekend in Rog. It is an old association, whose graduates acquire a trade certificate after they contribute to the public benefit in various cities for several months with their work and are welcome everywhere in Europe because of their noble mission. As hosting such a collective is in accordance with the mission of openness of Rog, the Mayor's demand that Rog denies them the hospitality is simply impossible. Rog will build no walls for the ?Brothers of liberty?. It will not instigate Security or police against them. The world of walls, security services , exclusions and discrimination is the world of Mayor Jankovi?. Rog is a different world. Many have finally found a place in it where they can express themselves freely. Many have found in it the dignity and value of their life. Everything, that the world of Major Jankovi? wants to deny them. A rich programme, an exceptional ammount of events and an incredible social engagement of Rog is a testimony to all this, which can all be seen on the websites www.tovarna.org and www.njetwork.org. Mayor Jankovi?'s assault on Rog is simultaneously symbolic and real. The formal reason for this outburst of self-will and authoritarianism is hosting the ?Brothers of liberty?. The real reason however is the hatred towards all forms of creative existence that are actively rejecting the subordination to the authority of ?The City Council of the City of Ljubljana ? - a company, in which a handful of arbitrary and authoritarian Moguls is trampling the freedom of expression, human dignity and diversity. It is about the methodical destroying of those rare possibilities of autonomous and self-defined activities of individuals and groups that reject to do just what the hegemonic model of organised social life expects them to do. For the managerial ideology of the municipal authorities the sole existance of such possibilities of different creativeness is already problematical. Therefor it is important, that you support the free, self-managing and autonomous use of Rog. Oppose the destruction of one of the rare places in which different forms of collective activity and life are possible. With your signing and other forms of support you will be sending out a message that this city, this society and this world needs places like Rog. We ask you to send your messages of support for Rog to the Mayor's email and fax number. You can sign this petition at http://www.njetwork.org/spip.php?article67. Jankovic's contacts are mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], fax: 013061214. Please add this information in the text and send it out. Temporary users of Rog Ljubljana, 21. March 2008.
