Hi dear Rainbowists, I'd like to talk about my personal feelings cocerning the last Agora: as our Chairman already said it was a mistake to stop the objections that were raised by the Agora plenary during the second election round. Indeed I felt that a violence was committed towards many Agora delegates, a remarkable former CD member Paolo Balestrieri, and towards all the Network Commission represented there by its Speaker (me). Invalidate an election round (without the right procedure) and take out the chance to express an opinion are real acts of violence, it was the first time I felt me and the Network treated like this. At that time I decided to leave AEGEE at any levels, I simply couldn't stay in an Association that could use violence as way of acting during a pressure time. I was convinced by the people present (especially Markella) to postpone this decision, because it could increase the chaos during the plenary. In many cases in the past I said that I wanted to resigned but they were only provocations (isn't it Gunnar?), but this time is different, now all the motivations I had for staying in AEGEE were gone simultaneously in few seconds. The resignation letter was quiet ready this morning…, but now the time is ready to tell you that I won't give up!!! I've to say thanks to a phone call from one of the best friend I ever had in AEGEE: Grasas, but also to the support of Karin, Fabrizio, Luca, Betina, Enrico, Mark, Madelijne, Tamara, Vladimir, Hakan, Kamala, and all the others...., they all convinced me to stay, it'll take too long to explain you why. To prove that I'm back even more motivated than before I'll try to propose few changes that can avoid in the future some bad situations: I fully agree with Stefan proposals, priority to Prytannia should be given right at the next Agora. A clear Proposal Regulation has to be defined (term to present it, an available printed text provided in advance) Personally I think that our JC was under an extremely high pressure and stress, because of the proposals amount, and the new signing locals amount. Why don't we raise from 2 to 3 members the JC (the CD observer can't help effectively)?
