Hola:<br>
<br>
Adjunto una invitación a una reunión europea para coordinar las
diferentes acciones, movilizaciones y alianzas contra las medidas del
poder político y económico frente a la crisis económica global. Estaría
muy bien si nos podemos coordinar antes para garantizar la presencia de
grupos que desde la campaña ¿Quién debe a quién? estamos trabajando
este tema. <br>
<br>
Besos desde Daegu City, Tom<br>
