New Year 2015 : Willem Rasing

Dear friends,
The crash of plane MH17, the war of and against IS, the threat of Russia in the Ukraine, the deadly Ebola virus and recently the report about extreme torture by the CIA are some of the events that mark 2014.
Nevertheless I would like to wish you a merry christmas and a happy 2015.
Greetings

Ens roben la cartera, el treball, la Sanitat i Escola pública i universal, però el que no podran robar-nos és l'esperança de que un altre món és possible.
Per uns Nadals més humans i solidaris.
