(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #231 - Summer FN Marseille University: Entering a new ice age (fr)

The National Front holds its summer 14 and 15 September in Marseille University, to 
advance his pawns for municipal. A collective, solidarity Marseille against the extreme 
right, organized a week of action and an event that should mobilize broadly and beyond the 
city. ---- Marseille is a major issue in the municipal elections of 2014 for institutional 
parties. It was announced 25% of voting intentions for the FN, with the districts where 
they exceed 30%. The city is a symbol to publicize the party of hate. That is why he has 
chosen as part of its summer school on 14 and 15 September 2013. --- Following this 
announcement a collective, Marseille solidarity against the extreme right (MSED) is created.

Objective: To build a mobilization against the presence of the party of Marine Le Pen and 
against the trivialization of its xenophobic ideas that attack part of the population of 
Marseilles. As everywhere, the goal is to sustain in an anti-fascist group that mobilizes 
offensive against all actions of the extreme right.

Pressure from the extreme right

This type of structure is an important goal for revolutionary activists, especially since 
the pressure of the far right is growing, as shown by the assassination of Clement Meric. 
Islamophobic attacks, racist, homophobic or progressive organizations to increase. The FN 
has a great responsibility in these acts, his speech trivializing racism and its always 
important and complicit relationships with the most radical fascist formations.

Event September 14

The group began its work MSED mobilization. From September 8 to 13, this is a week of 
action is organized, with initiatives Street, screenings and debates throughout the city. 
A large demonstration is scheduled for September 14 .

August 14 was the opportunity to test emergency capabilities to counter the FN. Its local 
representative, Stephane Ravier, played opportunistic scavengers and racist after the 
death of a student, likening it to a drama of "tolerance" because the origins of the 
murderer, said unbalanced by doctors since. Against the rally called by him, the group 
gathered more MSED activists and activists that the FN. But under the guise of 
republicanism, the prefecture has left racist gather and gassed and clubbed activists and 
progressive activists. Result: arrest three anti-fascists whom has been sentenced to three 
months in prison suspended for defending himself against the assault of an individual whom 
he later learned that he was a member of forces.

It is therefore more important than ever to build a scale mobilization of September 14, to 
show that we will not allow ourselves to deal with racist and state that protects them. 
Buses will be chartered from across France to bring activists in the beautiful 
Mediterranean city to tell a non-final and without concessions to the ideas of F-hatred.
