<nettime> FYI [presentation video] The Citizen Network - X Party is grooving

[Simona Levi <info@conservas.tk>]

   We  are a group of Spanish activists and citizens involved in a new
   political initiative called 'Red Ciudadana Partido X' (Citizen Network
   -  X Party). You might have read some of the articles published about
         us in English-speaking media [1] [2] [3] or some of the references
   appeared in academic or activist sites [4] [5]. Anyway, you can find
   more information about this project at our webpage [6]. Many of us have
   been involved in the M15 Indignados movement in Spain, which has deeply
   transformed  the Spanish political scene.

   We have spent more than one year developing a 'prototype' of a citizen
   network that could be able to pose a threat to the duopoly of Spanish
   main parties. For the last several months we have been building that
   network, which now includes thousands of people and active nodes in
   many of the main Spanish cities.

   Last October 8 we organized a public presentation of the project in
   Madrid and six other Spanish cities that was attended by around 1000
   people and was watched by more than 10 000 viewers over the Internet.
   You can watch a video summary of the event in Youtube [7] (English
   subtitles available):
