Resolution of the Alter Summit Assembly - December 2021.
In March, May and June 2022, Colombians will have to go to the polls to elect their new parliaments and a new President. It is a crucial moment for the country which continues, in spite of the signature of a Peace agreement in 2016, to live in the terror and the political violence.
The COP26 in Glasgow and the follow-up of the trade union Forum on Ecological and Social transitions
At the end of October, world leaders gathered in Glasgow for COP26. Many activities and actions took place to put pressure on them to make sure that the decisions taken are commensurate with the challenges.
Building on the success of the trade union forum on ecological and social transitions, we believe it is important to continue to make the voice of workers heard and to strengthen the presence of trade union organisations at these international events.

Since the beginning of the 2000s, austerity and the privatization of hospitals have slashed the number of available beds and taken them out of public hands.
As a result, health care costs have increased and are now borne by the sick, reinforcing a two-tier system. But more importantly, they have undermined the system’s ability to respond to a pandemic such as the coronavirus.
April 7: International day against Commercialisation and Privatisation of Health
On 7 April, for the 6th year in a row, we organized decentralized actions all over Europe for the European Day of Action Against the Commercialization of Health and People’s Health Day throughout the world.

Unions and associations’ representatives of all over Europe participating in the Alter Summit Conference denounce the violent and completely unjustified attack of the Greek police against gatherings of unions’ and other collectivities for the 47th anniversary of the students uprising against the dictatorship. The repression in 1973 leads to 24 deaths and a hundred of injured people (1967-1974).

Once again, the situation on the borders of Europe - especially in the Moria camp on Lesbos, ravaged by fire on the night of 8-9 September - reveals the non-politics of the European Union in the area of migration; the objective seems to be the decay of the situation, regardless of the human and social consequences.
Read more of Statement - A new migration package for nothing!The regularization of undocumented migrants in Europe
The regularisation of undocumented migrants living in Europe is again at the centre of the political debate. Indeed, in the pandemic situation that we are experiencing, regularisation becomes a public health measure; it should remove the obstacles to access to health services. But it is also necessary to enable these workers, who have no rights and no income, to have access to the various public support measures.

The European Union has taken several steps to respond to the coronavirus crisis. On 23 March, it announced a relaxation of the rules for balancing the budget (European semester) and a temporary modification for state aid within the framework of the Single Market. On 23 April, the European Council also adopted an extraordinary financial support package (ESM, SURE, EIB) and mandated the European Commission to propose a European Recovery Fund linked to the Union’s ordinary budget (2021-2027).

Invest in health for all: “spread solidarity, not the virus”
Today, more than ever, it is urgent to act. The COVID-19 outbreak shows us the importance of coordinated action, not only in our own local health systems, but also nationally and internationally. What we need now is a strong solidarity-based health system for all and coordination that surpasses national borders, with effective action on a European and a global level.

The Helliniko Metropolitan Social Dispensary (MKIE) in Athens is once again threatened with eviction in favour of the largest privatisation project of an urban waterfront in Europe. Helliniko SA demands, in fact, by ultimatum set for 13/03/2020 at the latest, that the dispensary leave the premises that had been granted to them by the municipality of Helliniko-Argyropolis since December 2011.

Feminist mobilization has taken off in recent years in Europe (and worldwide). The improvement of the organisation of the movement (decentralisation, diversity of modes of action, internationalisation), the strong mobilisation of the new generations, the rise in general awareness on the theme but also the violence of neo-liberal and authoritarian attacks targeting women, should reinforce this dynamic.
