Transform ! europe à Florence 10 + 10

L’assemblée est structurée autour de cinq grands domaines thématiques:

1) Démocratie…

2) Finance / dette / austérité,

3) Droit du travail et droits sociaux,

4) Les biens communs et les services publics,

5) L’Europe dans la Méditerranée et dans le monde

Le texte d’invitation précise deux objectifs principaux : «premièrement, donner une réponse commune – unissant leurs forces sociales au niveau européen – à la crise et aux politiques imposées par les institutions de l’UE et de la BCE, d’autre part, la création d’alliances pour une stratégie à long terme qui permettra de construire l’Europe sociale, l’Europe des citoyens européens. "

En outre, l’invitation indique d’autres objectifs de l’assemblée : «La présence de participants venus d’horizons différents, tels que les réseaux, les mouvements, les syndicats, les associations et les ONG de divers lieux et de composition diverse doit être interprétée comme la recherche de convergences et une effort commun vers une mobilisation anti-libérale forte large, qui sera une alternative à l’Europe des banquiers Europe, à la suprématie du marché, aux spéculations financières et au Pacte budgétaire ».
