Dear all,
At Carlos' request I'm sending you the spanish and italian draft
translations of the Manifesto for a Global Democracy. Please bare in mind
that the translations attached are not final, but an aid for understanding
the english document that I sent earlier for your information.
Here also the website of the author:
http://www.fernandoiglesias.blogspot.com/
...and information on an earlier initiative in which our chairperson Heikki
Patomäki took part:
