Wir Umbruch's haben eine Kiste Negative geerbt. Daraus der Fotorückblick: IWF/Weltbank-Kongress 1988 in Berlin - Eine Tagung im Ausnahmezustand

Monatelang mobilisierten #Autonome Gruppen, hunderte von #NGO’s und #Initiativen gegen die Jahrestagung von #IWF und #Weltbank im September 1988 in #Berlin. Mit einer Vielzahl von Stör- und Protestaktionen bescherten sie den #Finanzchefs aus aller Welt eine Tagung im #Ausnahmezustand.

„Im September 1988 kommen sie alle her. Die Finanzchefs aus den kapitalistischen Zentren von #Tokio, F#rankfurt bis New York (…) die Schreibtischtäter aus den Schaltzentralen der Multis #Toyota, #Lockhead, #Siemens. Dazu #Minister, #Staatssekretäre, #Experten, J#ournalisten und ihre #Bewacher. Mehr als 14.000 werden es sein. (…) Die Verantwortlichen für #Hunger, #Ausbeutung, #Terror und #Kriege auf der ganzen Welt kommen in diese „Hauptstadt der Freien Welt“. Dagegen wehren wir uns: Unser Vorschlag: Verhindern wir diesen Kongreß!“ (Aufruf Autonomer Gruppen Westberlin)

Gegen das Treffen mobilisierten hunderte Organisationen und Initiativen. In #Westberlin begannen die Vorbereitungen schon drei Jahre zuvor. Besonders die seinerzeit starken autonomen Gruppen bereiteten sich intensiv vor, auch der Bundeskongress entwicklungspolitischer Aktionsgruppen #BUKO schloss sich frühzeitig der Kampagne an. Die Ankündigung der #Linksradikalen, den ganzen Kongress verhindern zu wollen, wurde von den #Sicherheitsbehörden sehr ernst genommen, denn die radikale #Linke Westberlins hatte aufgrund der #Hausbesetzerbewegung viel Erfahrung mit medienwirksamen öffentlichen wie auch militanten #Aktionen, #Demos und #Sabotageaktionen gegen #Banken und #Konzernzentralen.

Wieso waren der Internationale Währungsfond IWF und die Weltbank bei den Autonomen und internationalistischen „3. Welt“-Solidaritätsgruppen so verhasst?

Der IWF war – und ist – eine internationale Organisation unter Führung der #USA, die die #Verschuldungskrise der Länder des globalen Südens imperialistisch managen soll und mit Zwangsmaßnahmen wie Kürzung von #Staatsausgaben, #Deregulierung des #Bankenwesens und #Privatisierung von öffentlichen Einrichtungen wie #Sparkassen, #Bildungseinrichtungen, #Elektrizitätswerken, #Wasserwerken, #Telekommunikation die Rückzahlung von Milliardenkrediten westlicher Großbanken erzwingen soll – eine #Finanzpolitik, die #Hungerkrisen und #Verelendung bewusst in Kauf nahm und nimmt. Die Weltbank förderte unter dem Propagandabegriff „Grüne Revolution“ die #Industrialisierung und #Monopolisierung der Landwirtschaft und den Export von profitablen #Cashcrops wie #Soja, worunter die kleinbäuerliche #Subsistenzlandwirtschaft litt und der #Hunger im #Trikont zunahm.

In Westberlin bereiteten sich viele Gruppen mit eigenen Schwerpunkten auf Aktionen vor. So organisierte z. B. eine #Frauengruppe, die zu #Guatemala arbeitete, mit anderen Mittelamerikagruppen #Straßentheater gegen die Ausbeutung der Kaffeebäuerinnen, eine andere Frauengruppe plante eine Demonstration und Blockaden gegen den heute zu #Bayer gehörigen Schering-Konzern, der riesige Gewinne mit gefährlichen #Abtreibungs-„Medikamenten“ und #Sterilisationsprogrammen von Frauen im Trikont machte. Anti-#AKW-Initiativen organisierten einen Aktionstag gegen den Siemens-Konzern, der u. a. Turbinen für #Atomkraftwerke herstellte.

Einige Autonome Gruppen konzentrierten sich auf Banken als Nutznießer der Ausbeutung des globalen Südens, mehr als ein Dutzend wurden im Vorfeld des Kongresses mit Molotowcocktails angegriffen.

Die Aktionsformen während der Kongresstage waren sehr vielfältig. Von #Fahrraddemos und #Taxikorsos zum Kongresszentrum ICC über einen internationalen #Gegenkongress und Demos an den verschiedenen Aktionstagen bis hin zu schrillen Gute Nacht-Chören und #Trommelhappenings vor den Hotels der IWF-Chefs. Das „Büro für ungewöhnliche Maßnahmen“ und die populäre #Kabarettgruppe „3 Tornados“ sammelten auf dem #Kudamm ironisch Geld für die ach so armen IWF-Manager.

Am Sonntag vor Kongressbeginn fand mit fast 80.000 Teilnehmer:innen eine der größten Demonstrationen in der #Nachkriegsgeschichte Westberlins statt. Der Block der #Linksradikalen lief unter der Parole „IWF-Mördertreff“. Dieser Ruf erschallte in der Innenstadt überall und nachts vor den großen Hotels.

Rückblickend gesehen waren diese Aktionen der Beginn einer 20-jährigen Kampagne gegen die kapitalistische #Globalisierung mit späteren Höhepunkten wie #Seattle, #Prag und #Genua. (Prag im Jahr 2000 war insofern einzigartig, weil der IWF-Kongress aufgrund des massiven Widerstands der Protestbewegung vorzeitig abgebrochen wurde.)

Nach wie vor sind Milliarden Menschen von #Hunger und #Ausbeutung betroffen. Besonders denen im globalen Süden fügt die #Klimakrise immenses Leid zu, während die Verantwortlichen in den #Metropolen sich heute viel unbehelligter als 1988 oder in den Jahren danach treffen können. Es gibt also immer noch viel zu tun und die Erinnerung an die Aktivitäten gegen die IWF/Weltbank-Tagung in Westberlin kann eine wichtige #Anregung sein!

Arévalo won the Aug. 20 presidential runoff in a landslide, but prosecutors have continued pursuing multiple investigations related to the registration of #SeedMovement, and alleged election fraud. International observers have said that is not supported by evidence.

On this day in 1821, the Central American Union declared independence from Spain. This union consisted of #CostaRica, #Nicaragua, #Honduras, #Guatemala, #ElSalvador, #Belize, and part of the Mexican state of #Chiapas. Guatemala City was the capital city of the Union, which only lasted a few years until it broke up into its component states.

Panama was at that time part of Colombia.

Looks like a possible coup going on in Guatemala to block the incoming left wing president from taking power

Guatemala Ballots Seized, President-elect Decries Growing 'Coup' | Barron's

President-elect Bernardo Arevalo called Tuesday for the resignation of Guatemala's attorney general, after ballots were seized by prosecutors in another controversial raid.

"The coup plotters must resign," Arevalo said, naming three officials at the center of legal efforts that have targeted his Semilla (Seed) party: Attorney General Consuelo Porras, special prosecutor Rafael Curruchiche, and judge Fredy Orellana.

"They have deviated from their constitutional function of investigating and prosecuting, fully towards a clear coup d'etat in progress," Arevalo told a press conference.
