We do not have, nor represent, one single unified position on the PGA.

We are however, all united in the knowledge of the PGA Europe organising process as un-transparent, non-participatory, and exclusionary. The organising process of the PGA conference in Belgrade has essentially been controlled by a hidden oligarchy. Because the organising process and methodology both in the UK and at the European level has not reflected the hallmarks and organisational principles which the PGA aspires to, the PGA Europe process is politically bankrupt.

However we wish to state clearly that we recognise, value and support the energy, diversity, and experiences of those involved with the PGA.

It is also important to say that some of us have tried to work inside the PGA process, fighting to "democritise" the PGA, and as such, much of our criticism is borne from experience and cannot be dismissed. Some of us believe that it is possible to rebuild the PGA to make it closer to the ideals it claims, and to build a truly participative process, others - after their experiences - believe this is simply not possible. Some of us wish to go further and say that the entire basis of the PGA is fundamentally illegitimate, that it only represents a space for the co-option of struggles, and that as such, it should be opposed. While others are aware of the problems within the PGA process but don't wish to be defined by them and are simply interested in working with organisational processes that are more authentic under the statement "another world is inevitable". We all however are united in our diversity and in our desire to act together in ways that respect these differences.

- we invite you to join us...
