Subject: [Radical-europe] support for Rog factory


Appeal for signing the support for the autonomous, free and in
self-managing use of former Rog factory!

  Rog factory, Thursday, 20th of March 22.30 Mayor of city of Ljubljana
Zoran Jankovi? decides to make an unexpected visit. He notifies the
people in Rog that he will order the evacuation and sealing of Rog. Upon
being asked what the reason for his decision was he said that the users
broke the agreement with The City Council of the City of Ljubljana (MOL)
which claimed that no one was to reside in the factory. The reason for
his decision was supposed to be the hosting of ?Brothers of liberty?, a
German medieval craftsman guild, which is holding a congress this
weekend in Rog. It is an old association, whose graduates acquire a
trade certificate after they contribute to the public benefit in various
cities for several months with their work and are welcome everywhere in
Europe because of their noble mission. As hosting such a collective is
in accordance with the mission of openness of Rog, the Mayor's demand
that Rog denies them the hospitality is simply impossible.
  Rog will build no walls for the ?Brothers of liberty?. It will not
instigate Security or police against them. The world of walls, security
services , exclusions and discrimination is the world of Mayor Jankovi?.
Rog is a different world. Many have finally found a place in it where
they can express themselves freely. Many have found in it the dignity
and value of their life. Everything, that the world of Major Jankovi?
wants to deny them. A rich programme, an exceptional ammount of events
and an incredible social engagement of Rog is a testimony to all this,
which can all be seen on the websites www.tovarna.org and
www.njetwork.org.
  Mayor Jankovi?'s assault on Rog is simultaneously symbolic and real. The
formal reason for this outburst of self-will and authoritarianism is
hosting the ?Brothers of liberty?. The real reason however is the hatred
towards all forms of creative existence that are actively rejecting the
subordination to the authority of ?The City Council of the City of
Ljubljana ? - a company, in which a handful of arbitrary and
authoritarian Moguls is trampling the freedom of expression, human
dignity and diversity. It is about the methodical destroying of those
rare possibilities of autonomous and self-defined activities of
individuals and groups that reject to do just what the hegemonic model
of organised social life expects them to do. For the managerial ideology
of the municipal authorities the sole existance of such possibilities of
different creativeness is already problematical.
  Therefor it is important, that you support the free, self-managing and
autonomous use of Rog. Oppose the destruction of one of the rare places
in which different forms of collective activity and life are possible.
With your signing and other forms of support you will be sending out a
message that this city, this society and this world needs places like
Rog.
  We ask you to send your messages of support for Rog to the Mayor's email
and fax number.
  You can sign this petition at
http://www.njetwork.org/spip.php?article67. Jankovic's contacts are
mail: zoran.jankovic la ljubljana.si, fax: 013061214. Please add this
information in the text and send it out.
