Alcalá de Henares seems another although yesterday a madman and ran over there to hit the odd xenophobic poster and shout things from a car. The poster was removed, the car ignored and the marginalized people.
assemblies succeed. Today has been a "problem." Not having some agenda items have rambled too much ... anyway, that is, in summary, what has been happening:
Since Wednesday in Alcalá already expressed interest in continuing and convened, a part of daily assemblies, the assembly after the elections , which will be Monday at 19:00 in the Chapel of the Magistrate.
the need is established to create neighborhood assemblies and working committees. At yesterday's meeting the Standing Committees were created:

created a specific committee work and ephemeral in time to be commissioned to condense what is asked from Alcalá, in order to begin the assembly with it and the structure that we needed to get to that-all must be approved at the meeting on Monday.
From Alcala de Henares is claimed is:
- participatory democracy.
- the politicians are managers neighborhood decisions taken at the District Assemblies and the Local Assembly.
- A change of the Electoral Act so that the lists are open and single constituency.
- Open debate on laws, policies and ways of life such as the Bologna Process, the Mortgage Law, the Law Sinde, the Aliens Act, Nuclear Energy ...
- The elimination of the privileges of the Political Class.
- Measures against unemployment as job sharing, reduced working hours, retirement at age 65 etc.
- real law to decent housing.
- quality public services.
- Control of Banking Institutions.
- Taxation.
- liberties.
- reduction in military spending and elimination of weapons factories.
To achieve this have been proposed Working Committees (besides those mentioned before are flexible, can work with each other if necessary, can add new ones, etc..). These committees submit their findings to the District Assemblies. Moreover, and in relation to the Working Committees, today, they will begin to run, hopefully, effectively.
The creation of district assemblies. We thought that the current administrative districts work very extensive territory and population too. District assemblies begin with, and we do not believe that everyone will participate and himself Monday. These District Assemblies, to more operational, be divided into strict neighborhood assemblies.
will exist as a No X of district assemblies to discuss issues neighborhood-exposed then the working committees, which, yours would be to have people working on each of the special working committees (education, environment, health etc.) - and a local assembly, which would be dealing with issues relating to the county and / or city.
As stated the council is manager of the decisions of the / s Assembly / s. The Assembly decided should manage the council and how and the council should ask permission from the assembly if you want to do something concrete.
been thought that the Assemblies Neighborhood to get together once a week and the Local Assembly once a month.
I think this is all ...
A hug to all those who fight!
