Speech by Thomas Eisler, at the international seminar on experiences and co-operation in the struggle against neo-liberalism and war held by SKP (the Finnish Comunist Party) on 10th September 2006.
Thomas Eisler is Member of the National Committee of the Red-Green Alliance
On the 17th of may more than 100.000 people took to the streets of Copenhagen and other major cities of Denmark. This was the biggest mobilisation in 20 years. It was a unified mobilisation of the Trade-unions and the students organisations. Against the socalled welfare reforms suggested by the rightwing government. This movement lead to some of the proposals being taken of the table - it wasn't the negotiations of the Social Democrats - on the contrary - the eagerness of the Social Democrats to be included in the deal weakened the movement. When they had signed - the opposition of the major Trade-unions evaporated.
- 18.07.2006Call for action against Israel’s war on the Palestine and Lebanon
The Israeli war machine continues with its war for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and Lebanon. Attacks against civilian targets are continuing, resulting in scores of dead and wounded in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, with the vocal and tacit support of the international community. For the past three days, attacks on Lebanon resulted in the destruction of major civilian roads, cutting off whole areas and hindering relief efforts. - 18.05.2006Aage Skovrind
More than 100,000 - organizers say up to 140,000 - joined demonstrations in Copenhagen and four other cities on May 17. The demonstrations were the largest for more than 20 years and reflect a growing alliance between trade unions and student organizations.
Protests are against the welfare reform, launched by the government in early April and currently negotiated in Parliament. The ruling Liberal and Conservative Parties need support either from the far right Danish Peoples Party or Social Democracy to get the laws passed.
The plan includes attacks on several welfare issues, including later retirement age (pension age up from 65 to 67), obligatory employment training programs for elderly unemployed workers (now benefiting from an exemption), cuts in unemplyment benefits for young workers and reduced public study grant. - 14.05.2006Resolution adopted by the 17th Annual Conference (Congress) of Enhedslisten/the Red-Green Alliance, May 13, 2006
In January the Palestinian Authority held one of the most democratic elections that have taken place in the Middle East. But in practice neither Israel, nor the United States or the European Union recognizes the results of the elections, in which Hamas gained a victory. Israel prevents the transfer of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority. The United States and the European Union (and Denmark) have introduced an economic boycott of the Palestinian Authority due to the electoral triumph of Hamas, thereby depriving the Authority of the possibility of making civil society function, affecting nurses, midwives, doctors, teachers, and police. - 02.03.2006
The Red-Green Alliance was formed in 1989 by three left-wing parties: the Left Socialist Party, the Communist Party of Denmark and the Socialist Workers Party and independent socialists.
The Red-Green Alliance is a democratic socialist party with the aim of combining politics for social change with politics for solving the great environmental problems both on national and international level.
We are opposing privatization and fight for a public sector in which man are at centre, not money. That is why we for years have had a slogan saying »Man before Market«. As a democratic party, we stand for the extension of human and democratic rights. We therefore oppose the US-led so-called »war on terror« which confines the above mentioned rights.
The Red-Green Alliance stands in national and local parliamentary elections. In the elections on February 8, 2005, we gained 6 seats in the national Parliament (Folketing) with 114.123 votes (3,4%).
In the municipal and regional elections on November 15th, 2005, members of the Alliance were elected to municipal councils in 14 cities, including 6 members in the party stronghold of Copenhagen. Here we have one of the seven city mayors (responsible for social affairs). We also got members in 4 out of the 5 new regional councils. - 20.02.2006The cartoons are the last symbolic straw that breaks the camel’s back
The widespread protests against Denmark are an unmistakable sign that the political course of Denmark and the West must change fundamentally. The protests are to be seen in the context of the political atmosphere in general – and particularly in light of Western policy in the Muslim part of the world. The cartoons are but the last symbolic straw that breaks the camel’s back.
During several years xenophobic views have been given more and more space in Denmark’s public debate. All around the world, Denmark has become known as a country with very negative attitudes to immigrants and refugees. It is in this context that the publication by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten of the 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad should be seen. the paper explaining this on the grounds that Muslims should be prepared to put up with ”insult, derision and ridicule” (quoted from the article in the paper introducing the cartoons). - 12.02.2006Statement by the National Executive of the Red-Green Alliance on the situation ignited by the Muhammad cartoons
