Fellow Pirates,
In the position of PPI Co-Chairwoman I was doing administrative work, including some tasks of Chief Administrative Officer, such as updating mailing lists, preparing board meeting agendas, sending announcements, updating social media, etc.
I managed to receive all the necessary paperwork from the notary in Brussels to transfer the PPI HQ from the old board to the new and started to collect signatures, but when we had to get the last one out of 5, it got lost.
Represented PPI on the conferences: Neumunster - Pirate Party of Germany General Assembly Dortmund - Pirate Party of North Rhine-Westphalia General Assembly Paris - Pirate Party of France General Assembly Bochum - Pirate Party of Germany General Assembly Belgium - Pirate Party of Belgium General Assembly and in the media by giving interviews for Russian and international press.
In the beginning of December 2012 I lost all the motivation to work for the movement whose members are constantly fighting with each other and prevent others from doing their work. Creating problems, like keeping the PPI money on their accounts and refusing to fulfill the promises that they made in order to bring the PPI GA to their country. I couldn't work any longer for an organization whose members are blackmailing each other and making working people resign from office out of spite. I have not participated much in PPI work since then. I got tired of not being able to write and publish whatever I wanted on my personal Twitter and Facebook accounts without being criticized for it behind my back. I didn't want to read my private E-Mails on public mailing lists over and over again. I couldn't invest anymore time and money on this position when clearly Pirates didn't want PPI to work. Without money, without resources, without help this is not possible. But instead of letting the few people work that want to invest time, we were constantly insulted, blocked from working, criticized by members of the old board or candidates that couldn't get elected, we were running after money that was promised to us. Constant mistrust is what the international Pirate movement looks like from my perspective.
I know there are hard and good working Pirates out there and I would like to thank all the good people that I met in PPI and because of PPI, I hope we will stay in touch. And a very special thanks to the PPI board! It was pleasure working with you!
Thank you all!
Fair winds,
Lola
