MESSAGE FROM KEERFA-MOVEMENT AGAINST RACISM AND FASCIST THREAD TO THE DEMONSTRATORS ON 21ST OF MARCH, INERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST RACISM AND FASCISM

Dear friends, The united action of the international movement is the force that has the power to stop the scapegoating of migrants especially Muslims for the failure of government austerity policies that spread poverty and disasters in the lives of millions. Racism, islamophobia and Fortress Europe are oppening the way for the demagogues of fascist, neonazi and racist parties. United we can stop them!

In Greece, after the victory of the Left, we stand for the closure of concentration camps, legalization for the immigrants, citizenship for the children, right to vote for migrants, rigth to build mosques in Athens that are prohibited. We want open borders, an end to FRONTEX an end to the fence on Evros river that bring death to thousands of women and children, refugees trying to escape death from imperialist wars in M.East, Asia, Africa.

The 20th of April sees the start of the neonazi trial of Golden Dawn for the murders of Pavlos Fyssas and Shehzad Luqman, the attack against trade unionists of the KKE, the murderus attack against Egyptian fishermen and tens of other attacks against migrants, activists, leftists organized by squat groups. We demand an end to neonazi attacks. We demand that the neonazi be punished for their criminal attacks, which remind us that 70 years after the horrors of Auschwitz we must shout out loudly NEVER AGAIN.

We demand an end to the cooperation between the police and Golden Dawn We call for international solidarity and for delegation to join us in Athens and we organise a mass anti-fascist demonstration outside the court on 20th of April. For a future without racism, war and fascism, for a society with democracy, freedom and respect the right of everyone to be different! Long live international solidarity against fascism and racism!

World Day Against Fascism and Racism

Rally at Athens, Omonia Square 2pm and Concert at Syntagma Square 4pm,

Thessaloniki, Ag. Venizelou 1pm

Patra, Georgiou Square 11am

Hania, Agora Square 1pm

On March 21 we demonstrate in many countries of the world against racism and fascism: New York, London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Copenhagen, Vienna and Nicosia. We demonstrate in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and Chania.

With the new government of SYRIZA we continue our fight to finish with the Nazis of Golden Dawn and to break with racial discrimination. Our struggles brought the fall of the co-government of Samaras and Venizelos who opened concentration camps after the racist sweeps of ELAS (Greek Police), built the fence in Evros, kept drowning women and children in the Aegean, took back the right to citizenship and the vote of immigrants. The Police collaborated with the Golden Dawn in attacks in neighborhoods.

The rise of votes of fascist, neonazi and racist parties in the elections for the European Parliament of May 2014 in countries such as France, the UK, Greece underlines the urgent need to escalate the struggle to stop the fascist threat and put an end to the racist policies of fortress Europe. To end the concentration camps, the closure of the borders that spawned the horror of hundreds drowned refugees from Lambedusa to Pharmaconisi in the Aegean sea.

The rise in votes of fascist, neo-Nazi and racist parties in the elections for the European Parliament of May 2014 in countries such as Greece, France, the UK underlines the urgent need to escalate the struggle to stop the fascist threat and put an end to the racist policies of Fortress Europe, the concentration camps, the closure of the borders that spawned the horror of hundreds drowned refugees from Lampedusa to  Pharmakonisi in thw Aegean sea.

The political crisis, with governments imposing austerity measures spreading poverty, unemployment and despair, opens the door to neo-Nazis. Governments with  racist campaigns against migrants, refugees and Roma, islamophobia, anti-Semitism and homophobia are trying to convert them into scapegoats for their failures, fueling the rise of fascist xenophobic and racist parties.
Continuing the successful international days of action against racism and fascism on January 19th, 2013 and March 22nd , 2014, we call for a new international mobilization on March 21st, 2015. The movement that took to the streets in France after the rise of Marie Le Pen, the movement in Britain is resisting the rise of xenophobic UKIP with antifascist movements in Greece, the Spanish state and the rest of Europe have the power to send a strong message that 70 years after the end of World War II the cry NEVER AGAIN is more timely than ever.

In Greece, the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn found under the overwhelming pressure of the anti-fascist movement immediately after the murder of Paul Fyssas. So we arrived in smashing the squadism of Golden Dawn and the government and justice was forced to open the prosecution of this criminal organization that enjoyed immunity for attacks and cooperation with the state apparatus, coverage of the government, funding and equipment from shipowners and other entrepreneurs. We will not let them to impose it again because as a supposedly "serious legitimate party!"

A mass antifascist movement begets hope that we can stop them! This is the movement that imposed the punishment of  neonazi  murderers of Shehzad  Louqman and now requests the trial of neo-Nazi Golden Dawn will start soon. This is the movement stood in solidarity with immigrants, the strikes and protests in the strawberry fields of N.Manolada and Skala  Lakoniaw on mass events of wrath against imprisonment is the hell of concentration camps.

 

Join us on 18th of September on the anniversary of murder of musician Pavlos Fyssas with mobilizations outside Greek embassies!
We call for an international anti-fascist and anti-racist meeting in Athens on October 12th , 2014 to take a new step in coordinating the activities of the movement against racism and the fascist threat.
