|
Thursday, 10 December 2009 |
In the opening stages of the historic climate summit COP15 in Copenhagen, British newspaper The Guardian is reporting about a leaked document called "the Danish text". It diverts from the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and transfers the power over climate financing from UN to the World Bank, in the hands of the rich countries.
The "Danish text" demands that developing nations takes on mitigations efforts that were not part of the Kyoto protocol and further divides the poor countries by creating a group for the "most vulnerable". It also allows rich countries to emit twice as much as poor countries. |

Education is not for sale! |
|
Sunday, 01 November 2009 |
Throughout past days, students in Austria have been protesting, as they said, poor educational conditions and obvious commercialization of higher education. In the last years, the tuition fees at Austrian state universities were introduced, public funding for universities was decreased, while the number of enrollments and course availabilities were significantly reduced. The protests that started by the occupation of the University of Fine Arts in Vienna, spontaneously continued by squatting Austria's largest auditorium in the main University building. In the next days mass demonstrations have spread throughout the country , in the Austrian largest cities. Students presented a broad catalog of demands to the policy makers, including democratization of all aspects of university life, massive increase in funding, free and equal admission modalities and a 50% women clause in all positions of university administration and education. The movement is based on the grassroots democracy, with plenum, inclusive for all, as the only decision making body. |
