Some reflections before the meeting

-We would like to point some thoughts before the meeting in Melina Mercury:

1) The invitations are quickly made, provisional, and plotted in a standard printer. Only in Greek. After the exhibition of Awake!, it looks like they decide, fast and careless, make up a meeting.

2) Probably, too many people will be there, and everyone with something to say. The last experience in Takt-el-Kale was chaotic, and only a small area of the Old City was represented there.

3) Is quite good that everyone can speak on their behalf, but is not possible to give word to too many people. (Just some numbers: question + answer at least 5 – 10 minutes. How long will the meeting go?)

4) We’ll see what happens today, but we think this is not the best way of communication between people and municipality: reliable regular meetings, with few representatives of groups or areas are necessary to be able to work and discuss about the problems of the City.

-We also hope this idea is not just one gesture for the newspapers and press only. We appreciate the initiative, but may be this is not the best way to walk together to find solutions.
