Momentum is building for G8 protests in Scotland
Momentum is building for the anti-G8 protests in Scotland in early July. Following an earlier decision by the public sector union UNISON, the Scottish Trade Union Congress representing over a million Scottish workers voted unanimously to affiliate to G8 Alternatives, a broad based activist coalition, and to back all of the anti-G8 protests and events.
This comes after weeks of rising tensions between activists and the British establishment, with right wing newspapers like the Scottish Evening Herald and The Times running a series of police inspired made-up scare stories about violent protestors who are intent on bringing chaos to Scotland. Police had let it be known that they were going to seek a ban on protests against the G8. This is not because the protestors are violent but because huge anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist demonstrations, in particular at Gleneagles on the Wednesday, will be a political disaster for Tony Blair and New Labour, who have already been badly damaged by the anti-war movement.
But this attempt to criminalize legitimate protest has caused such a public outcry in Scotland that the Scottish Parliament has voted to back the right to protest at Gleneagles. According to Joshua Brown of G8 Alternatives, despite their best efforts the right wing press have not been able to find a single villager from around Gleneagles to come out and condemn the protests. This shows the huge breadth of support the movement has in the wider population.
Joshua added, “We already had a very diverse range of groups coming together to support the anti-G8 protests; everybody from CND to Basque and Palestine solidarity campaigners to anti-privatisation campaigners from Africa; but the support of the trade union movement brings us to another level again in terms of potential mobilising power. It means that we will be able to speak directly to the grassroots of Scottish society and to win many thousands of them to getting on board buses from every corner of Scotland to the G8 protests. These will be the biggest protests in Scottish history. If enough people come we can make sure that the movement sets the political agenda. As with the huge anti-war protests of the recent past we hope that our mobilisation against the G8 will be an inspiration to everybody across the world who are standing up to the bullies and the warmongers to build a more just peaceful and democratic planet for all. That is why we are appealing to activists around the world to join us. Let's show Bush and Blair who this world really belongs to. Let's show them what democracy really looks like.”
Activists from across Europe are gearing up for the Gleneagles demonstrations too. A G8 Alternatives meeting in Edinburgh attended by activists from, among others, ATTAC Germany, Rifondazione, COBAS, the Campaign to End Third World Debt, Stop The War Coalition, Irish Anti War Movement, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, International Socialists (Holland), CND issued the following call to action:
All out against the G8!
Bush, Blair and the G8 richest nations have appointed themselves rulers of the world. We must continue the tradition of mass protests to oppose the G8 and its policies of poverty, war and imperialism.
This meeting calls for a mass mobilisation against the G8 to converge in Edinburgh, 2-6 July, 2005.
This meeting calls on all social movements, trade unions, left parties and networks from across the UK and Europe to organise delegations to converge in Edinburgh, Scotland for five days of demonstrations, actions, the alternative summit, cultural events, community and much more.
Join the mass march to the gates of the Gleneagles Hotel on Wednesday, 6 July- the opening day of the G8 Summit.
They are G8, but we are six billion!
