Dear Friends,

The Peoples Summit Enlazando Alternativas 3 is approaching (May 13^th to 16^th 2008, Lima, Peru). It will be a gathering sponsored by various social movements and non-governmental organizations in Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It will coincide with the Fifth Summit of Heads of State and Government of LAC and the EU, the highest political meeting of governments of the two regions. The bi-regional political framework in which both events will take place is, without doubt, crucial for the future of our peoples. In Lima in May 2008, we will not only create opportunities for critical analysis of relationships between the EU and ALC, including the association agreements, the behaviour of multinationals, militarism and the criminalisation of social movements on both continents, but there will also be a People’s Tribunal to judge the power system of the European transnationals, both in Latin America and the Caribbean and in the EU.

We want to remember to you two very important issues on the Summit :

1) You can still consult the Call to the Summit (and the list of signatures), and sign it at the following link :

2) During the Summit, there will be a space for self-organised activities on the main issues that are of birregional interest. The deadline to register the proposals of self-organised activities is March 30^th 2008. You can do it at the following link :

Enlazando Alternativas 3
