In the General Assembly of Global Debout (Standing), in front of thousands of people from different parts of the world we proposed:

"Good evening, I'm Maria and I'm from a Committee of Support to the Syrian people in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Ours is a country oppressed and pillaged by imperialist powers like France, and all the imperialist powers of the world. I want to salute this international meeting of Global Debout (Global Standing, NT); I want to greet French workers and youth, and tell them that you, and all the workers in the imperialist powers are the best allies of the working class of the colonial and semi-colonial countries such as Brazil.

I want to welcome this meeting and say that it is a big step forward, but it is a step in a vacuum if from here it does not arise an international command to organize and build a European General Strike against imperialist Maastricht, because this is the only thing that we can do before this "democracy" we have. This is the democracy of 1% of the world-rich slavers, which make their businesses with their banks and their transnationals on our blood, over the blood of the slaves of the world... that’s why I want to tell you: Down with the 1%! May the Paris Commune come again to life! The commune where all the workers of the world are citizens of honor! LONG LIVE THE COMMUNE!"
