Subject: [fcforum] FYI [presentation video] The Citizen Network - X Party is grooving in Spain
To:
fcforum_discussion@fcforum.net,
fcforum@list.fcforum.net
We
are a group of Spanish activists and citizens involved in a new
political initiative called 'Red Ciudadana Partido X' (Citizen Network - X Party). You might have read some of the articles published about us in English-speaking
media [1] [2] [3] or some of the references appeared in academic or activist sites
[4] [5]. Anyway, you can find more information about this
project at our webpage [6]. Many of us have been involved in the
M15 Indignados movement
in Spain, which has
deeply transformed the Spanish political scene.
We have spent more than one year
developing a 'prototype' of a citizen network that could be able
to pose a threat to the duopoly of Spanish main parties. For the
last several months we have been building that network, which
now includes thousands
of people and active nodes in many of the main Spanish cities.
Last October 8 we organized a public presentation of the project in Madrid and six other
Spanish cities that was attended by around 1000 people and was
watched by more than 10 000 viewers over the Internet. You can
watch a video summary of the event in Youtube [7] (English subtitles available):
We are very interested in talking to
people who promote similar lines of action all over the world.
All the
best,
Red
Ciudadana, Partido X
