Reflections on S26: What did we gain?

Typical of the sensationalist big business press, the official coverage [on s26] focused obsessively on the activities of small handfuls of property destructors who acted outside of and against the spirit of the organized demonstration. But for our part, as partisans of the emerging movement against capitalist globalization, it is important that we reject these false characterizations of the media and claim S26 as a victory, a step forward for our movement.

Even before the dust had settled and the clouds of gas over Prague had dissipated, the mainstream media was eager to declare the September 26 demonstration against the IMF and World Bank a failure. According to the New York Times, the international gathering of up to 20,000 protesters had tried “desperately... and ultimately unsuccessfully, to shut down a global finance meeting.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
