For a European Spring
Our Democracy against their austerity!
'For a European Spring' is a call for actions, strikes and demonstrations all over Europe on the 13th of March, and for a pan-European demonstration and creative actions in the city of Brussels on the 14th of March. It is targeted at the EU Spring Summit, where leaders from across the continent will assemble on the 14th and 15 to further strengthen the European Council's neoliberal response to the crisis.
Corporate Europe Observatory is one of many groups involved. This page is to introduce the activities we're involved in - and those of others.
