         ::: December, 13 - Demonstration Against Racism at 17.00: "No 
          to Fortress Europe and Schengen". (Enghave Plads) ::: 
        17.50 
          - Copenhagen: Between 3000 and 5000 people are now leaving 
          Enghave Plads. Many demonstrators carry torches. Police units are few, 
          there is scarcely one van leading the march. 
           
          18.25 - Copenhagen: 
          Thousands of people stroll along Vestergarde St. towards Rodhuspladsen. 
          ATTAC and United List blocks are remarkable, with the motto: "Stand 
          for the right to asylum. Let's stop the European Fortress". There 
          are placards pro- comunism and maoism ("Cheers to maoism. Free 
          President Gonzalo", as reclaimed by a support gropu to Peruvian 
          Communist Party) as well as anarchist and pro-palestinian flags. Also 
          remarkable are the communist (Leftist Youth) and antifascist blocks 
          from Sweden (AFA), as well as SOS Racism-Norway.  
        18.35 - Copenhagen:The 
          atmosphere is very cheerful. Many organisations and networks condemn 
          EU's policies of exclusion, besides from exposing a great variety of 
          ideas. A placard claims: "Stop the plan against Batasuna". 
         
        18.45 - Copenhagen: 
          The demonstration is now passing by Tivoli. No Border, SAF, Rod Ungdom 
          (Left Youth), Norway Communist Party, Dansk Youth Sotialists and World 
          People Resistance Movement blocks are also exhibiting their mottos within 
          the march. About 10 police vans and 50 anti-riot cops watch the rear 
          of the march. 
        18.55 - Copenhagen: 
          The placard in the lead asks for "Rights for everyone. Stop racism 
          and discrimination". People dances to the sound of "Oh bella, 
          ciao". 
        19.00 - Copenhagen: 
          An activist from ATTAC has reported to La Haine that "it is not 
          true that moderate organisations are main in this march. We are not 
          revolutionaries, we are radical reformists. For instance: we are not 
          against the existance of propietors, we are for everybody to be one". 
        19.20 - Copenhagen: 
          The demonstration has reached Rodhauspladsen, end of the course. An 
          activist from the swedish antifascist organistation AFA has reported 
          to La Haine that "we are not arranging anything along with ATTAC 
          because we don't agree with their hope of marching towards a good-human 
          capitalism. We're not radical reformists because we don't want to reform 
          a thing. We understand that the system has to be completely destroyed 
          in order to create a new one based upon solidarity and revolutionary 
          socialism. Anyway, this march is against racism and we are not against 
          anyone to participate, everyone with its own views".
