Today in Brussels representatives of the belgian people (Attac, Onzezeg, Notremotadire, CAP ao.) burried the Lisbon Treaty at the bourse in the centre of the Europeen Union. People of Europe want their say on the EU.They want the referendums to be respected; This Treaty is not democratic and not protecting our social security. The non democratic way the EU is constructed over our heads is getting dangerous for our freedom and democracy our parents fought for!. The policy of EU treaties, the European Commission, is to commercialise public services. Flowing from competition policy, the commission forces state providers to compete with private companies in the supply of public services.What will become the poor or week citicen in this junglefight? These liberal EU strategies have led us to the recent global financial crisis which will not stop: 80 % of our national laws are dicted by the EU. More actions will follow this week. read full story / add a comment

Shell is sponsoring the National Theatre's new production of 'Oedipus', and, unsurprisingly, Art Not Oil is preparing a response on various fronts. We're asking people if they're up for making an artwork of some kind as a response. This could be an image, song, film or poem to appear on our website, or to be printed on a postcard or something similar. We're open to ideas. (Unfortunately, we aren't able to pay for your work, but we have no wish to possess it!) read full story / add a comment

This month, a Canadian court refused to hear a habeas corpus writ to challenge the continuing detention of Basque refugee Iban Apalaoza Sancho and the state's plans to deport him to Spanish jurisdiction. The court ruled that the country's Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply to residents in Canada who are not citizens. Iban is now on hunger strike in protest and the 17th has been set by the Canadian authorities for his deportation. The Dublin branch of the Irish Basque Committees called for support for protests it plans for the same day. read full story / add a comment
