For several years we have been faced with the need to build a European Social Movement, with all its challenges. The European Social Forums were, for a while, an expression of this dynamic. But we must admit that this dynamic is now faltering, due to the changing situation of Europe and in Europe, beyond the organisational structure of the forums. In November 2012, the Florence+10 meeting will explore new theories based on the interaction of the European networks engaged in the social forums process, the "Joint social conference" and the proposal for an Altersummit.
With this in mind, we must ask ourselves what stands in the way of a united European social movement seeking social justice and the fight against inequality, the defence of liberties and rights, respect for the planetary ecosystem and the environment and Europe’s contribution to a fairer, peaceful world.
