Belgrade, Yugoslavia Food Not Bombs

VEGAN SANDWICHES INSTEAD OF MC BURGERS!

16.OCTOBER, ANTI MC DONALD'S DAY AND INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FOOD WAS SUPPORTED IN BELGRADE, TOO, THE CAPITAL OF YUGOSLAVIA. PEOPLE FROM THIS PART OF THE WORLD TOOK PART IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE MULTINATIONALS, MC DONALDS IN PARTICULAR, BY ORGANIZING ACTION IN THE CENTRE OF THE TOWN, IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE MOST VISITED MC DONALD'S RESTAURANTE, AND THE 4TH BIGGEST OBJECT OF THAT KIND IN EUROPE! THIS ACTION WAS HELD BY THE FOUR INDEPENDENT ANARCHIST, ECOLOGICAL AND AUTONOMOUS GROUPS, WHICH ARE CALLED : SUBWAR, MANUFAKTURA, MALI ZELENI AND ALARM, AND ALSO HELPED BY THE NUMBER OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND VOLUNTEERS WHO GATHERED TOGETHER WITH US. SINCE THIS DAY IS ALSO THE INTERNATIONAL FOOD DAY, WE THOUGHT THAT THE BEST WAY TO REMARK IT WOULD BE TO MIX THIS TWO OCCASIONS TOGETHER, SO WE ORGANIZED "FOOD NOT BOMBS" AS WELL AS A PART OF THE PROTEST, AND WERE GIVING FREE FOOD WITH LEAFLETS ABOUT THE MULTINATIONALS, MC DONALD'S AND FOOD NOT BOMB ACTIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE STAYED ON THE STREET AROUND THREE HOURS, GIVING VEGAN SANDWICHES WITH TEA AND APPLES, INVITING PEOPLE TO JOIN US AND TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE HOMELESS IN THIS CITY OF THREE MILLION PEOPLE, WERE THEIR NUMBER IS TRAGICLY BIG. ACTION WAS SUCCESFUL, EVEN FOLLOWED BY LOCAL MEDIAS, PHOTOGRAPHERS AND JURNALIST FROM SOME DAILY NEWSPAPERS, IN THE POSITIVE SPIRIT, SINCE THIS ACTION IS ONE OF THE FIRST OF THAT KIND IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY AND BIT EGSOTIC BECAUSE OF THAT TO THE POPULATION HERE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SIMILAR BEFORE. THAT FACT WAS SO OBVIOUS, AND WE HAVE SOME DIFFICULTIES AT THE BEGGINING TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THE FOOD IS FOR FREE AND THEY CAN FEEL FREE TO TAKE AS MUCH AS THEY WANT! THERE WASN'T ANY TROUBLE WITH THE POLICE, MC DONALD'S SECURITY, OR ANYONE ELSE, AND THERE WAS A FOOTBALL MATCH THAT DAY BETWEEN YUGOSLAVIA AND FINLAND, SO IT WAS QUITE LOGICAL TO EXPECT NATIONALISTS, SKINHEADS AND OTHER IGNORANT EXAMPLES OF SOCIETY WE LIVE IN, SO WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK. HOPEFULLY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE "FOOD NOT BOMBS" PROTESTS CONTINUOSLY, SINCE WE FIND IT THE BEST WAY TO PROMOTE DIFFERENT ATTITUDE TOWARDS NEW WORLD ORDER AND THE WORLD'S POLITIC, AND VERY USEFUL TOO, BY OFFERING CONCRETE HELP TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT!
