Our train to Genoa has been banned by you Minister of Transport, Jean-Claude Gayssot. If anyone knows an e-mail address for him could they let us know. We want to send what is written below......... Merci!   To: Jean- Claude Gayssot Minister of Transport Paris, France We have learnt with outrage that SCNF have been ordered by the French Minister of Transport to cancel the Globalise Resistance train, taking 500 peaceful protestors to Genoa. We have been informed that SCNF were told that they must cancel the train following a high level meeting between the Italian authorities and Jean- Claude Gayssot, the French Minister of Transport. The agreement had been signed by both SCNF and Globalise Resistance and the train had been paid for. We view this intervention by the French Government as a gross violation of human rights and democracy. Our movement is precisely about the right of ordinary people in todays globalised world. By taking this action, the French Government is showing contempt for the basic rights of ordinary people. We will not let freedom of movement be restricted in this way. Our organisations, which represent thousands across the world, regard this illegal intervention as a massive attack on our whole movement. We demand that the decision is immediately reversed and we will campaign internationally until the train is reinstated add your own comments
