Statement of the german bordercamp group on the meeting dated 07.04.01

2001 antiracist initiatives are planning a summer filled with campaigns and
actions including an international camp chain and resistance actions in
connection with the summit in Genoa.

>From 2 until 8 July 2001 a border camp will take place in Tarifa in the
south of Spain.
Followed by a  (second) border camp in Poland near Bialystok at the
Lithuanian- Belarussian border from 5 until 12 July 2001. Furthermore
another border camp will start in Slovenia at the Hungarian-Croatian border
at the beginning of July. From 19 until 22 July campaigns against the
G8-summit will take place in Genoa and from 27 July until 5 August the tents
will be put up near Frankfurt airport.

At present a bus caravan is planned to connect the different camps and to
carry campaigners from camp to camp as well as to the summit in Genoa. In
Germany we call upon participation in the border camp and action chain and
to visit other camps. We hope that there will be an active exchange about
antiracist, feminist and internationalist questions and that new forms of
co-operation will be developed.

At the last meeting of the German camp preparation group it was decided to
financially support the bus caravan project. We certainly hope to be able to
welcome a great number of activists from other countries at our camp at
Frankfurt airport.

Because of our criticism of the FA Poznan and their central role for the
first Polish border camp we did not mobilise last year. However, we did not
call upon a boycott of the FA Poznan as was frequently asserted. We demanded
a critical debate about sexism and cross alliances (Querfrontbündnisse).
Until today there is no discernible reason to alter our position towards the
FA Poznan.
We know that even a member has left the group due to the lack of a critical
discussion.

We are very interested in a co-operation with different East-European
groups. We welcome the new camp project in Poland this year which is
prepared from an alliance of Polish groups as well as groups from
Belarussia, Ukraine, and Russia. In Germany we call upon participation in
the Polish camp.

Furthermore a few members of the German camp preparation group together with
the Emancypunx from Warsaw are preparing a weekend of discussion and actions
in Warsaw from 28 April until 1 May. We hope that a lot of German and Polish
activists will participate.
