OFFICIAL SUMMIT :

The European ministers asked for the whole town to be declared as red Zone but 
at the end only the "Palais des Congrès - Opéra", where the meeting will take 
place with the 27 European ministers of immigration, is declared as Red Zone !

The delegations will count 1350 people and will all assist on the Monday evening 
to an opera in the "Palais des Congrès"

This is not related to the summit but it can be useful to know that the mayor of 
Vichy installed 18 360° cameras a year and a half ago and the screens are 
located in the main police station.

Also, it's good to know that if the French police is much less using Snatch 
squads than German, they rarely try to break blocks inside demos or human chains 
during actions but they use a lot Tear-Gas to disperse crowds after the demo or 
during actions, it is really important to re-group after each attack from the 
police !! The usual tactic is to act and then to join back the crowd, police 
won't follow. If there is no crowd : act, disperse when police attacks and then 
join again immediatly  before they can go back to their position, with that you 
can manage to break their lines by having them to move in all directions.

===============================================

Dissent! Hallmarks = Peple Global Action Hallmarks

1. A very clear rejection of feudalism, capitalism, and of l' imperialism, as 
well as all trade agreements, institutions and governments promoters d' a 
destroying universalization.
2. A very clear rejection of all forms and systems of domination and 
discrimination of which the (and a nonexhaustive way) patriarchate, the racism 
and the religious fundamentalism of all beliefs. We recognize the whole dignity 
of all the human beings;
3. An attitude of confrontation, since we do not think only the " lobbying " can 
have an major impact on partial and antidemocratic organizations at such point, 
for which the transnational capital is the only real factor determining their 
policy.
4. A call to l' direct action and with civil disobedience, with the support for 
the fights of the social movements, putting forward the forms of resistance 
which maximize the respect for the life and the rights of the oppressed people, 
thus qu' with construction d' local alternatives to world capitalism.
5. An organisational philosophy founded on decentralization and l' autonomy.
