In Italy and even in the anti-capitalist environments, like for the example the Centri Sociali, the reality of Cooperativas Integrales (CI) is not well known. Can you introduce synthetically the today reality of CI, especially in Catalonia, in order to inform us? An Integral Cooperative is a tool to create a grassroots counterpower departing from self- management, self-organization and direct democracy, and one that would help overcome the actual state of dependency on the structures of the system, towards a scenario of liberty full awareness, free of authority, and in which everyone could flourish under equal conditions and opportunities. Catalan integral Cooperative was created in 2010 and currently have around 600 productive projects, around 30 social centers and 5000 people involved. 2. Do you guess that there is a link between the CI development in Spain and the DRY/ Indignados/ Occupy 2011 big movement that had a stronghold in Spain ? Why in your opinion in other south Europe countries, like Italy, that suffer of the big recession and austerity imposed by the financialized capitalist governance, such experimentations are not so developed? CIC was created a year before than the indignados movement, so we was being part active there, and the growing of the movement was helping to create new integral cooperatives in other territories of Spain, and also in France 3. Which kind of relationship exist between CIC (and other CI in Spain) and the Podemos party? There are not relationship. The reformist trend and the autonomous trend in the 15m movement was going every time more separated and the political visions of change are very different. It’s important to remember than Integral revolution principles are opposite to the parliamentarian system and are for go beyond states. Otherwise I know personally some of them because we was comrades in grassroots social movements, not only 15M but also far before the antiglobalization movement.
