=== Summary of issues ===


The G8  is a  combination  of  8 countries:  USA. Canada, France, Japan,  Great Britain, Italy Germany  and  Russia.

The G8 meeeting  will take  place  from  6th  to  8th  June  2007 in Heiqendan on Germanys  Baltic Sea. 


The reasons  for abolishing  this summit  are:

The politics of the G8 stand  for neoliberal  globalised  capitalism which  dramatically  increases  the gap  between  the rich and the poor world wide.

The G8 summits are  a symbol  they serve  those  in governments as a de,ontration of their  powerm. There is no alternative  to the new world

At the G8 summit politics  are  concretely  made  and cordinated  intersts  of big  bussiness and financial  investors are central

The G8 talk about  debt  relief  for the  poor,they remain silent  about the fact  that  hunger, poverty and indebtedness  are  the result  of  neoliberal globalised capitalism

The G8 is an institution without  legitimacy , it is  a web of only  8 states which arrogates  to make  decisions that affect  the  lived reality  of people around  the world.
Inworder to change  the world  to make  another world  possible we have  to work  together  and  empower  the civil  society.

We have  to  fight  poverty and  eradicate  illiteracy  and also  have  accountable  leaders  who  must deliver to the citizens,
