We ask ourselves what Solidarity has brought us over the last 25 years. We see that we are free, but freedom in our case means a complete lack of any control.

There is a blanket trust in the so-called free hand of the market, money is wasted on bureaucracy, laws aren't properly implemented and corruption and crime are on the increase.

We have been totally unanimous in our reaction and have shown solidarity, the G8 and the states that joined us for this summit,

The tsunami has brought unprecedented global solidarity, and also brought unprecedented challenges for us to satisfy all donors and to gain international trust. We understand that from newspaper, television, and other media, international society has learned that there are many spectacles, many problems and dissatisfaction in the last 12 months. Therefore, we initiated a meeting to present the progress report.

Just as many showed their solidarity with us when we were striving for freedom, so now we must show solidarity to those who are only striving for it in uneasy conditions,

If solidarity is a crime then send us all to jail. Our movement was built on solidarity.
