nettime Fwd: The Greek elections?

[Alexander Karschnia]

   In Germany an appeal was started by Jürgen Link (editor of the
   magazine kultuRRevolution), because the media-coverage of the Greek
   elections has been extremly distorted:

   http://appell-hellas.de/?page_id=105

   The appeal is directed towards German Greeks and Greek Germans, but
   now it is also translated into English, so I guess the spectrum it
   adresses has broadened.

   Very interesting to see, how Europe begins to be a point of reference
   also for the far left, for example in the mobilization to come to the
   opening of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt/M. on March 18th:

  The militant nationalism that Tsipras displayed by visiting the
  Resistance memorial makes me think Syriza is stupid, or talking to
  the stupid.  The fascist threat isn't rolling into Greece in
  panzers; it's a few inches to the right of their coalition partners
  ANEL.  Maybe this theatrical bow to violence was actually intended
  for a far right audience, either to attract them, or threaten them,
  or both?  Surely the Germans are inured to WWII references by now?

 This is really too perverse a reading of this event. Syriza is
 becoming the first truly European political party that has emerged in
 the context of this freaky organisation we call the European Union.
 One needs only to see how Syriza's political agenda is always-already
 European. Its electoral success is inherently linked to the analysis
 of the problem of Greek debt and of Troika austerity policies in
 Greece as a European problem and to the imagining of building a
 European movement against them. More so, it's proposed solution to
 this problem is again inherently European: asking for a European
 conference on debt to deal with the writing off of state debt in
 several countries, demanding a new architecture for the Eurozone,
 proposing some type of European new deal, etc. The worst case
 scenario in the ongoing negotiations with the EU is that Syriza will be
 offered some kind of compromise within the national horizon on easing the
 Greek debt and the existing austerity policies, so that the larger
 European problems can remain under the carpet. If Syriza takes this
 possible deal, then it will be transformed to a regular national
 political party.

 Proposal to open a ''Global Square'' during the World Social Forum 2015 in
 Tunis

 ENG
 Our  squares are homes to our ideas and aspirations, in them we struggle, in
 them we shout  at injustices, in them we share alternatives and build
 dreams. During  the World Social Forum 2015 in Tunisia, the '' Global
 Square '' will be  open to all those who are fighting in the streets to
 build the necessary change.
 Using  the  ''open space'' methodology, the program (clearly indicated on a
 board during the WSF) will be permanently open to the organization of
 assemblies, workshops, creative activities, sharing of knowledge and
 methodologies, etc.
 And this space will also encourage spontaneous   meetings, music and
 creativity...

 ESP
 Nuestras  plazas son los albergues de nuestras ideas y esperanzas, en ellas
 luchamos, en ellas gritamos las injusticias, en ellas compartimos
 alternativas y construimos suenos. Durante el Foro Social Mundial 2015  en
 Tunes, la ''Plaza Global'' (''Global Square'') se convertira en un  espacio
 abierto para todos aquellos y aquellas que luchan en las calles  por el
 cambio.
 Usando la  metodologia ''foro abierto'' a programacion (claramente indicada
 en un  tablero durante el FSM) estara permanentemente abierta para la
 organizacion de asambleas, talleres, actividades creativas, compartir de
 saberes y metodologias, etc.
 Y este espacio estara tambi??n abierto para  favorecer encuentros
 espontaneos, musica y creatividad...

 Nos  places publiques sont les h??tes de nos id??es et de nos aspirations. On
 y  lutte, on y crie les injustices, on y partage des alternatives et on y
 construit nos r??ves. Au cours du Forum Social Mondial 2015 en Tunisie,
 ''Global Square'' (''Place Globale'') deviendra un espace ouvert pour  tous
 ceux et celles qui luttent dans les rues pour construire le changement
