The International ATTAC Movement<\/a> was created at an international meeting in Paris, on December 11-12, 1998. The creation of the \u00ab\u00a0international movement for democratic control of financial markets and their institutions\u00a0\u00bb wants to respond to that dynamic. Referring to the platform, it forms a network, with neither \u00ab\u00a0hierarchical\u00a0\u00bb structures nor a geographical \u00ab\u00a0center\u00a0\u00bb. Pluralist, it is enriched by the variety of its components and makes the common action easier without limiting it in any way, nor dictating their freedom of contribution. It aims to reinforce, to link and to coordinate, at an international level, the contribution of all of its partners who see themselves as fitting within the structure of its platform. In the same way, it wishes to reinforce its cooperation with all the other networks whose objectives converge with its own.<\/p>\n

Attac\u2019s aim was to campaign against international financial speculation, specifically through the introduction of the Tobin Tax on moving money around the world. Branches of Attac were set up across Europe and the world, particularly after the Seattle protests of November 1999 … Attac must take the credit for spotting far in advance that the European Constitution represented a way of hard-wiring neo-liberalism into the continent\u2019s political and economic structures. This record is impressive. It is therefore a matter for grave concern that Attac appears to have split. At the organisation\u2019s annual general meeting (AGM) in Rennes a fortnight ago, two slates were put forward for the administrative council.<\/p>\n


\nOne was backed by Cassen and his close ally Jacques Nikonoff, the outgoing Attac president. The other was backed by the economist Susan George and Pierre Khalfa of the left union federation Solidaires. After the election \u2013 which marked a victory for the Cassen-Nikonoff slate \u2013 Susan George and her allies declared they were suspending their participation in Attac\u2019s leading bodies on the ground of \u201canomalies\u201d in the vote count. Susan George told the paper Lib\u00e9ration, \u201cI have been shocked by the sectarian and aggressive atmosphere at the AGM. Those of us supporting a collective leadership have been booed, Nikonoff\u2019s supporters shouted when we spoke and applauded their president wildly\u201d … (read the rest on Socialist Worker<\/a>).<\/p>\n
