The movement against the Loi Travail pushes the line of antiausterity and democracy struggles to the center of Europe. This paper reflects on the different steps of the “Convergence des luttes" (Convergence of Struggles) in the context of global movements and the crisis of neoliberal hegemony. It argues for strategic convergences of struggles on a European level. The coming “European left” has to form a transnational project against the neoliberal EU and the nationalist regressions.

By means of a questionnaire the authors checked the views of dialysis teams on ethical and psycho-emotional questions, on on the adaptation of dialysis patients and on dialysis work itself. The results show that psycho-emotional considerations are of considerable importance in the contact with patients over long periods. The staff think about them but are often not able to arrive at a clear opinion. This indicates that psychological training of the staff is necessary in oder to facilitate and encourage the formation of clear points of view.
