Ghent, Viva L'Anarchia!
On 19 October a part of the Flemish town of Ghent
became an autonomous zone. Everywhere on the streets activists against
capitalism partied, at least 20,000. A Pink and Green street parade of
a 1000 anarchists and eco-activists managed to outsmart the police
and blockade a ring-road for a short while.
The 'Rhythms of Resistance' samba band was only seperated by a canal
from the conference centre, where EU heads of state chatted about more
military violence, sealing off Fortress Europe from immigrants and other
such scheming.
Media coverage was low. Apparantly they are only interested in a riot,
not a party. But for us it was fabulous!
