Former soldier, adventurer and sailor writer Patrice Franceschi is an old friend of the
Kurdish cause. Yet there the dessert from the defense on Radio Courtesy, and associating
the imperialist interests of the West. Alternative Libertaire calls out. ---- Patrice
Franceschi, ---- Let's be clear. We do not do a trial of conscience, and not trying to
dress up you a political label. We did not know you before meeting you on various forums
in the fall of 2014 to support the fighters and combatants of Ayn al-Arab. If our
philosophy differs from yours, the sincerity of your commitment to the Kurdish cause is
clear, and that is why we would like to question you about what we consider to be a
serious political mistake. ---- Twice in April 2015 and July 2016, you went defend Rojava
on Radio Courtesy, the main station of the Catholic extreme right in France. And as if
that were not enough, you have done by involving the Kurdish cause the geostrategic
interests of Western powers.
A program that oozes colonialism
The image of the struggle in Kurdistan is thereby necessarily blurred, dirty. How could it
be otherwise in a program that oozes from every pore colonialism? Including the two
leaders, and Patrice Roger Saboureau Boissy, are directors of an heiress pharmacy networks
of the OAS, the Relief France[1]? Which even the generic use Africans, singing
supplementary troops in the French army during the colonial period?
In April 2015, therefore, the auditors of the Free Journal of Roger Saboureau had to
shiver with delight in discovering that there was, in your words, an ally of France, a
"little piece of the West" to defend the Middle East: Kurdistan[2].
Until then, however, distrust prevailed at the far right to the Kurds. As recalled in the
introduction the host of the show: "It's a people we know little, except the memory of
their participation in the massacre by their ancestors of Eastern Christians in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the spectacular engagement Danielle Mitterrand in
their favor, there are some twenty to twenty-five years after the gassing of a city in
Iraq by Saddam Hussein. Nothing therefore, a priori, to make us sympathetic. " The
National Front has indeed always defended the regime of Saddam Hussein, despite his
genocide conducted against the Kurdish population[3]
However, geopolitics being what it is, "the enemies of our enemies could become our
friends," then chained Roger Saboureau, before giving the floor to praise the merits of
the fighting and fighters of YPG-YPJ.
Patrice Franceschi: a tendency to say "we" when speaking of the French state.
February 10, 2014 in the Hôtel de la Marine. cc Lionel Allorge
"Our ground troops"
Certainly in your advocacy, you did not disguise the political revolution in Rojava to
please your guests; You even dropped a few unusual words on their airwaves - "feminism",
"democracy". You have however given the cliché combatant "lovely, kind, laughing,
charming, feminine" [4]which are, at the same time, according to your formula, the
"Amazons of fire" ... It would be wrong on this imagery Kurdish activists usually cringe,
but there is not much of our discussion.
The fundamental problem is that, from beginning to end, you defended the Kurdish cause not
only for itself but also on behalf of the geostrategic interests of "the West." And you
did it with a tendency to say "we" when speaking of the French state: "Basically, when
we[the French government], we do not want military intervention on the ground - ground
troops it's complicated, it's bogged down, etc. - We have our troops on the ground: it is
them. " [5]In doing so, you brought the mill of water of those who accuse the YPG-YPJ to
be instruments of foreign powers.
The Kurdish left, the center of gravity is the PKK is fighting in northern Syria for the
equal coexistence of all linguistic and religious entities to gender equality, in
the[Democratic confederalism]. It is a long struggle that requires defuse many prejudices
in a war zone, where racism and sectarianism have become the norm.
Or on the air, you have avoided these words - left, PKK Democratic confederalism. However,
you said that the emancipation of the Kurdish people "certainly not through agreements
with Arabs, Turks or Persians[sic], if not locally", but depends on "the support of those
outside - notably the West " [6].
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDS)
consist since October 2015, an alliance of Kurdish militias (YPG-YPJ), Syriac and Arabic.
The hawkish Kouchner and Bruckner
It is in this light you did play your address book to awaken a pro-Kurdish opinion current
among intellectuals, businessmen and diplomatic, a sample participated in the inauguration
of the representation of Rojava in Paris, 23 May.
Certainly we will not criticize the Kurdish left, back to the wall, to accept help from
any source - Moscow, Washington, Paris and elsewhere. We believe the seasoned enough not
to be fooled interested calculations of each other. And the dropping of which it is a
victim since the end of August 2016 did have little surprise.
But you should have avoided canvass some "hawks" of French imperialism, as Bernard
Kouchner - who, when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs Nicolas Sarkozy, wanted to prepare
a war against Iran (!) - Or essayist Pascal Bruckner, ardent supporter of the invasion of
Iraq in 2003 ... Whatever their degree of sympathy for Kurdistan, it is obvious that these
people see first and foremost a piece on the imperialist chessboard, and that their
membership to this cause can only fuel suspicion.
We do not blame you, Patrice Franceschi, being extreme right. Maybe you think that all the
stands are good to defend the Rojava. Maybe your old friendship with Patrick Boissy, one
of Radio Courtesy leaders, she has done the rest. But do you realize that by going there
wearing his flag, you seriously are harming the image of the Kurdish Left in France and
the Middle East?
Solidarity with Rojava should not be based on the wrong reasons - its role as a "bulwark
of the West" or the beauty of the military adventure - but on the revolutionary hopes it
raises - autonomy and confederalism democratic, feminism, socialism, self-management.

Progress of the work world and the fight took place Saturday, September 10 at the
International Exhibition of Thessaloniki (TIF). With motto: " the Labour and Social needs
are non-negotiable " participated in the march Caravan Race & Solidarity. The call for the
march to TIF stated inter alia: refugee and labor are the two critical battles to come in
the future. First will not only stand against the anti-labor monstrosity, the other will
notlet the state to transform the country into a giant refugee camp with NGOs and
transport companies to enrich the people's pain. How to do that? The break with the union
bureaucracy, which not only can not protect such tragic has shown, labor rights and wages,
but also does not want, since now is the opposite class camp for us is obvious and we
practice years now. No wonder SHIFT and GSEE was in favor of a new memorandum in the
referendum, from the first to the programs for unemployed applied the mnemonic measures
sued comrades workers because they called bosses, took the side of Eldorado Gold and
betrayed at every turn those races which they had participation.
This monstrosity called syndicalism as the mean bureaucrats can not go on any longer. For
this we too recommend the creation of base unions with direct democracy, against the
award, where possible. We struggle for uniting trade unionists, workers without rights and
unemployed through labor centers and race meetings such as the Caravan. We fight against
fleeting one-day strikes for a well organized and fierce general political strike length.
Also we plan a working class independent of the state, the bosses and the bureaucracy. In
their call for the TIF PA.S.E. WIND said: The TIF has been occasionally podium different
political communications, rich rants and lies. But behind the scenes of the exhibition
every year thousands of workers, s protest against the devaluation of life and dignity,
facing the repression of the state in a city guarded. This year will reassert dynamically
our opposition against the policies implemented by governments and lead to the
precipitation of salaries and allowances, unemployment in ftochopoiisi in environmental
destruction. Even view of the anti-labor laws that will be submitted in the near time, it
is important mobilizations in TIF is massive and dynamic in order to give a further boost
to workers' and social struggles taking place in recent years.
The world of power is bankrupt! ¨ said the announcement \ call for the TIF Anarchist
Political Organisation -Omospondia collectivity . It can produce neither perspective nor
hope. All we can produce a lot of repression persons, whether this is the ftochopoiisi
social majority, the suffocating control and supervision of. To fight against state and
capitalist machine that produces the death, against modern totalitarianism With common
local and migrant struggles we have to construct a new world of equality, solidarity and
freedom.
