(Michael Kömm) Once again flocked around 1,000 people in the Rostock Nicolai church to witness the final plenary of the alternative summit (see photo). The closing speech was the winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize, Vandana Shiva. In it she referred to the importance of living democracy, referred to strengthen and expand it applies. The aim must be to the profit-motivated acts of transnational corporations (eg through the use of genetic engineering and patent protection with anti-social TRIPS) to halt and to preserve the biodiversity of the world. Shiva demanded that the vibrant democracy, "a freedom has to be reinvented," in which people break those laws that jeopardize the future of humanity. It should, however, with non-violence and solidarity to expect the highest possible influence. At the end of the podium, a clear sign of solidarity to the many thousands of peaceful blocking was sent - both verbal and financial forms. summary, I think
that the alternative summit - peace in the complementarity had a big part in that the G8 action days are seen after the riots last Saturday again in a positive light - blockades. Even the most numerous participants were inspired by the positive atmosphere and participated actively in the various discussion groups. However, one should be realistic: the Alternative Summit as a place of innovation to see - this claim is too high. Rather, it is a good way to make active education and discourses into the public domain. Now the actors carry the movement beyond the summit of these discourses and in everyday life anchor. Then the alternative summit in the medium term impact of globalization Movement unfold.
