[New-imc] IMC Andorra (project) - 14 march 2002

[Bart]

Hey Everyone,

- I think the andorra application is ok.
There's a small mission statement at the end of this mail.
I just didn't find an introduction to their imc; so maybe we they can send
us one and in the meantime we can start internal approval ?

Dear Bart,

First of all, we want to thank you for your e-mail. We have taken some time
to contact you, because we wanted to organize a meeting for all the people
involved in this enterprise to assure that it has been made very clear to
all of us in what this consists of, and its possibilities and implications.
On the other hand, I want to confirm that we can contact you in English, if
you wish, or in French or Spanish.

We have red the five documents attentively, and we all agree with all of
them. That¹s the reason why ­after the conversations with the other members,
especially with Enric from IMC Barcelona- we think that Andorra has to be a
completely new enterprise. Starting from scratch will always be more
effective than adjusting the means that we are using now in Internet, such
as the case of papafrita.com.

Applicants¹ group from Andorra state that they have red the ten points of
the Principles of Unity, and that they agree with them, like with the
totality of the points revealed in the documents IMC MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA &
Network Membership.

We are a group of men and women coming from different press and multimedia
fields, that a couple of years ago started to spread antiglobalisation
information through the web site papafrita.com and we opposed its status as
a fiscal paradise and illegal money laundry. We suffered a very hard
repression, and some of our co-workers live today in Spain, victims of a
political and police prosecution.

Notwithstanding that, we are still working and informing Andorra¹s citizens,
amongst others, that have been following and reading our work, and little by
little, they have started to support and to encourage us. In a short period
of time, we have become an independent and not manipulated press group.

At this moment, we¹d like to start a communication platform -free and with
no censorship- to allow all the people that has something to say to do so.
The objective is giving social groups, associations, trade unions, and women
and men that wish to live in a free world, the opportunity of freely saying
what neoliberal government¹s pressure censored during these last years in
its controlled medias. That¹s the reason why ­with your help and support- we
want to create now IMC Andorra.
