Post-Summit: July 11, 3-5pm CEST
As NATO faces its deepest ever crisis, this counter-summit will focus on the impact of the dramatically changing global situation, and the opportunities this presents for change. The decades-long ideological and political relationship between Europe and the USA is changing beyond all recognition. The US pursues brutal unilateral dominance with vassal status for Europe. Europe pursues greater independence based on insane levels of militarism to the point of risking a nuclear war. The situation is unsustainable and dangerous in the extreme
This new situation presents the peace movement with new challenges and new opportunities. Can NATO be dealt a death blow? What will come in its place? Can we overcome the warmongering ideology that is increasingly dominating our societies? How can we build an alternative security framework that meets people’s needs and guarantees real security for all?
This ‘No to War – No to NATO network’ counter-summit will explore these questions, develop an analysis of NATO in the rapidly changing situation, and look at the implications for our movements. Please join us.
