Debate: March, march Indignados!
Monday, May 14, 2012, 6 p.m., Luna Cinema, following the screening of the film “The Outraged"
Language of the debate: Polish
“We are regular people. We’re just like you: we get up every morning to study or work, we have families and friends. We’re working people who earn their living every day, striving for a better future for everyone around u” wrote the Spanish protesters in the May 15 Movement manifesto. In 2011, protesters from the Occupy movement occupied city squares and buildings, and organized mass demonstrations in close to a thousand cities worldwide.“The Occupiers are saying: we won’t pay for your crisis, we want the person to matter, not the profit. We want increased citizen participation in political decisions, we want a different dynamic between the world of politics, banks, and regular people” said Igor Stokfiszewski, who followed and documented the Occupy Movement throughout Europe. Tony Gatlif, director of the film “The Outraged”, claims that “[his] film is a manifesto of democracy [...] this is more than a simple demonstration, it’s turning into a small revolution”.
The Occupy movement is already breeding its own legends and stereotypes. Some see it as the biggest act of social mobilization in decades, aiming to improve the collective quality of life and the democratic procedures, and prevent the socially destructive fallout of the current crisis of capitalism. Others see the Occupiers as entitled middle-classers clamouring for ever greater participation in the redistribution of economic and symbolic income.
In Poland in particular, we see a conscious effort on behalf of opinion-making circles to paint the Occupy movement as a revolt of the replete. Will the Occupiers change Europe? Are we in for a revolution? What can the Occupy movement tell us about today’s democracy?
