Europas rebellische Regionen
29/06/2013 Südtiroler, Schotten, Bayern und Katalanen: Sie alle wollen raus aus ihren Nationen. An der Spitze der Sezession stehen zornige Männer - und kämpferische Frauen. Ein Reisebericht.
Dass auf dem Weg zum Europäischen Einheitsstaat irgendetwas schiefgelaufen ist, haben wir geahnt. Doch als der Vizepräsident des EU-Parlaments, ein Spanier namens Alejo-Vidal Quadras, damit droht, in den Straßen von Barcelona das Kriegsrecht zu verhängen, dämmert uns: Eine Reise zu Europas neuen Separatisten könnte aufregend werden. Bozen, Barcelona, Bayern, Glasgow - die einen liebäugeln noch mit Unabhängigkeit, bei den anderen steht der Termin für die Abstimmung über den Austritt schon fest. Kleinstaaterei mitten in Europa, das hat es länger nicht mehr gegeben.
ICEC celebrates its 10th anniversary for self-determination and independence!
The International Commission of European Citizens, ICEC, which was established to campaign for the rights of European stateless nations to democratic self-determination, is ten years old. ICEC has created a network of grass-roots groups to give mutual support, exchange information and promote democratic rights.
Manifesto: ‘It was, it is, and it will be in the hands of the people’
For the last 12 years, European grassroot movements for self-determination together with political organisations sharing this same objective, have met and work together on successful initiatives under the umbrella of the International Commission of European Citizens (ICEC). These many shared projects have always had three main objectives:
Unilateral (CAT)
Des del ICEC és constata “la manera de fer constant, honesta i independent dels socis i observadors” que els donen suport seguint el seu lema fundacional: ‘Era, és i serà en les mans del poble l’autodeterminació i la independència’
'There are milions and milions of independentists in Europe and that makes us strong'
Anna Arqué: "A Europa hi ha milions d'independentistes i això ens dona força"
Aquest juliol es compleixen deu anys de la creació de la Comissió Internacional de Ciutadans Europeus, plataforma que promou el dret a l'autodeterminació dels pobles d'Europa i és punt de trobada de moviments independentistes de Catalunya, Escòcia, Flandes, Galícia i altres nacions europees sense estat. La seva portaveu a nivell dels Països Catalans, Anna Arqué, n'ha fet balanç al "Catalunya nit".
Manifest ICEC 10è aniversari: «Era, és i serà a les mans dels ciutadans»
«Era, és i serà a les mans dels ciutadans»
Durant els últims dotze anys els moviments europeus de base per a l’autodeterminació, juntament amb organitzacions polítiques que comparteixen aquest objectiu, han col·laborat en iniciatives reeixides emparades per la Comissió Internacional de Ciutadans Europeus (ICEC, per les sigles en anglès). Aquesta munió de projectes compartits han tingut tres objectius principals:
Anna Arquè (ICEC - Catalan Coutries) on Russia Today
"Under democratic circumstances Spain can't block SelfdetRef without risking its place amongst democratic countries"
ICEC Euskal Herria - Manifesto in support of Catalan referendum
ICEC - EUSKAL HERRIA declares:
-
any decision on the political relationship with the State belongs to the Catalan people, through a referendum of self-determination.
-
we firmly reject any threat or intervention of the Spanish state to limit the Catalan self-government
-
we formally ask the two parliaments of Euskal Herria to support the Catalan authorities in their process of self-determination, as well as to promote one in Euskal Herria.
ICEC conference on “The exercise of Self-Determination in the EU” concludes with the Venice declaration.
Since 2009 ICEC has visited the European Parliament many times. Thanks to the people of the NVA and politicians like Mr. Erik de Foort, ICEC has organised many conferences in such a great public European space. Last year (December 2015), ICEC organised the 1st part of the symposium focused in “The implementation of Self Determination in the EU”. Sponsored by NVA and BILDU European groups, and gathering academics, politicians and activists, speakers underlining a strong understanding of Democracy. Democracy, not only as a result but mainly as a method of doing politics based on citizenship participation.
