Abolishing the Borders from Below, 2005
On the 6th of September in Craiova (South-West Romania) an action took place called “AGAINST ALL BORDERS” in order to sensitize the public opinion about the newest rule regarding the freedom of movement (the news obstacles which Romanians have to face when leaving their country). Participants included militans and activists. The action consisted of puttin up 150 posters and giving some 1000 informative leaflets (and, as usually, it was insufficient), but activists did manage to cover the whole center of the city. The public opinion’s reaction was positive, many people showed their solidarity and absolutely no one was against the action. The most important remark (as far as the activists themselves consider) was of someone who suggested that this action should transform into a bigger and important project. Initially, there was idea to organise a demo, but it failed as activists couldn’t obtain the “approval” from the local authorities because they weren’t legally organised (into an NGO). Other reactions of the public opinion, which surprised activists in a very pleasant way, but were perfectly normal, were the uncountable swearing at Romanian rulers and authorities, in general. The expecting of the ones who were involed in this action were exceeded by the positie impact of the action on the public opinion, and that makes more regrettable the fact that a bigger and better organised demo couldn’t take place. These kinds of actions are the real victories in the war against authorities and all borders between human beings. Out fatherland is the whole world! (by C.A.F. – Craiova Anarcho Front).
