International solidarity to german antifascist movement

During the general election campaign in Germany neonazi organisations have been actively rallying to gather votes. We won’t accept fascist activities in our community, nor will we tolerate hate-inciting, nationalist propaganda in our streets or anywhere else! We won’t bow down to police action protecting those who don’t deserve it.

We invite you to a public disposal of Nazi-rubbish!
In the night of August the 28th more than 300 policemen raided a party, two private appartments, two offices and the "Fusion" shop in Berlin. According to the police the reason for this radical, anti-terrorist style raid was the invitation to a party claiming that those who brought along a previously torn off NPD (Nationaldemocratic Party Germany) election campaign poster would be welcomed with a free cocktail.

The Antifa homepage featured an article with following content: "election campaigning means to us collecting NPD posters, blocking and disrupting Nazi rallies and disposing of Nazi material in rubbish bags." … "The police stormed the party, registered and photografed more than 150 guests who were put under suspicion. During the further six house raids six computers, 300 CDs and other data bases wer confiscated "to provide information about the political activities taking place beyond the boundaries of the liberal and democratic state constitution” ( as stated in the search warrant). Obviously the police was interested in left-wing structures and extra-parliamentary organisations.

We condemn the criminalizing of courageous behaviour against racist and fascist propaganda!

We appeal to all people to stand up against Nazi propaganda wherever you encounter it- at school, at work, or in the streets!

We invite you to our big gala! All proof of anti nazi-propaganda actions will be rewarded with a cocktail!

The party will take place in Berlin on the 16th or 17th of September. The location will be announced soon. We are looking forward to seing you there!
