From WIN to the Greek Ministry of Citizens’ Protection <pressoffice@yptp.gr> with a copy going to the Coordination committee <Antifasistikos@gmail.com>”The fascists shall not pass!
We are outraged at the plans of a number of fascist organisations to hold a pan-European neo-Nazi gathering in Athens on November 1st. We send our solidarity to the Anti-fascist Coordination of Athens and Piraeus, and fully support their effort to cancel this unacceptable event.
In recent years we have seen a lurch to the far right all over Europe and the world. We believe that this is a reflection of the crisis of the capitalist system, which cannot provide either a decent standard of living or a stable social environment to the mass of the population. The capitalist crisis has created conditions of social turmoil which, in the absence of a clear working-class alternative, leaves room for far right and even openly fascist forces to gain momentum.
We consider the battle against the far right to be of crucial importance. That’s why we will do whatever we can to help prevent the November 1 neo-Nazi gathering. We strongly protest to the Greek government and the Municipality of Neo Heraklion, where the gathering is set to take place, for their refusal to take action to protect their citizens from fascist violence”.
