A-Infos (en) France, Alternative Libertaire #223 - CNT: Confederal Congress reaffirms the self-management project (fr) [machine translation]

At the last congress of the CNT France, have been reaffirmed several vital elements of 
anarcho-syndicalist union, namely his refusal to institutionalization and its 
internationalist dimension. It was also discussed measures to be implemented in order to 
lay the groundwork for a major own social response to reverse the balance of power.
These are some 70 unions of the National Confederation of Labour-France (CNT-F), which met 
from 1 to 4 November in Metz for the Confederal Congress of the anarcho-syndicalist 
organization and revolutionary syndicalist. A conference where nearly 40 motions were 
discussed and voted on in a spirit of collective work and research of the largest 
majorities. A first axis was the project self-management, particularly around the cohesion 
between ideas - other desired future - and the means to achieve it. There was reaffirmed 
refusal permanentisme thus confirming the CNT classist, his refusal to specialization and 
bureaucratization, short of institutionalization.

It was also decided to establish practical ways such an approach: confederal allocation of 
seats, creating a legal secretary confederal and validation of a commission to work on the 
creation of a training institute for the next Congress.

Against the permanentat
This will build a self-management at the base and the base is also achieved in the 
struggle. Thus he passed several pieces of guidance on the gradual construction of a 
response class unit. All unions of the CNT are invited to contact locally with social 
movement organizations (unions, political organizations and collective struggle) to lay 
the foundations of a large social response and a general strike, and and reverse the 
balance of power in favor of the camp workers and workers.

Internationalist anticolonial
While developing its strategy on union presence in workplaces and neighborhoods, the CNT 
also takes position on nuclear, shale gas and energy issues, GMOs and the patenting of 
life, criticism of major competitions sports as well as the revival of confederal campaign 
to reduce working time. The CNT is also equipped commissions confederal "fascist and 
racist" and "mainstreaming".

Note the presence of several international unions, the IWW Americans until USTKE Kanaky 
plus many supporters writings: CGT-B Burkina Faso, CLA Algeria, Swedish SAC, etc.. CNT 
reminded once again that this is anticolonial and internationalist dimension and must 
continue to be more and more pervasive in our struggles and analysis. Finally, note the 
desire to spread geographically to meet mandates confederal federalism and the cohesion of 
the organization.

A new team confederate was put in place to continue to grow as a union class, and 
self-management without permanent or permanently in France. Visit struggles!
