On Saturday, April 27, supporters of the "Movement for Life" tried to pass through Prague, 
lobbying for a long-term ban on abortion. We bring a report from the counter-action "Don't 
Dance How Duka Whistles!" Organized by Kolektiv 115. ---- The demonstration in the form of 
protest-rav started around noon under the bridge in Tešnov, Prague. Around a hundred 
people gathered on site to listen to two cars with sound systems - namely RAW Rave, 
Blazing Bullets, AM180 collective and Olgoj Chorchoj Sound System. ---- Shortly after 
twelve, the procession set out on the road and the participants and dancers danced before 
the Rudolfinum, around which the "National March for Life", led by Cardinal Duke, was to 
pass undisturbed. Sound systems continued to win on the spot, attracting the groups of 
passing tourists who were asking questions about the event. Funny banners were painted on 
the spot as part of the parallel "March for the SUPER Life" event (SUPER's life was 
contrasted with the "boring life" offered by Cardinal Duka and his followers), danced, 
discussed, and was simply good.

But it was felt in the air that the bigotic march across the Mánes Bridge would probably 
not pass without complications. And indeed. Around two o'clock, when a crowd of followers 
of the Movement for Life marched, an organized blockade of several dozen people, headed by 
the banner of "Patriarchy killing", stood in his way. For example, "My Body, My Choice", 
"We Are Here and We Will Fight, Everybody's Right to Be Legal!"

Surprisingly, nobody disobeyed the challenges of the police megaphone or the anticonflict 
team's agreement, and the police riot police set off. During the roughly 15-minute 
push-up, when the police "knocked" people who wanted to go to the challenge, the 
protesting feminists and feminists pushed to the side of the Mánes Bridge and then put 
them in police cars to pass the bigots march undisturbed.

However, the mood was good in the encircled cluster and confetti and inflated balloons 
were flying into the air. The cops didn't understand that, and the balloons that flew out 
for a number of rioters refused to turn back.

After a few tens of minutes, traditional legitimacy began. The one who came with the 
citizen and legitimized himself was out in a while, foreigners and other non-conforming 
elements had it more complicated, inter alia because the intervention commander did not 
know English (and no one else from the intervening police, but "we are in the Czech 
Republic, so will speak Czech "). Dismissed activists and activists began to gather on the 
other side of the bridge, waiting for the rest of their friends and friends. A number of 
riot police, encircling relatively innocent looking young people, have become a smaller 
tourist attraction, so we have explained many times what happened on the bridge today. It 
was nice that most of the people passing through us expressed support and shouted from 
time to time to the cops.

After about an hour, all were legitimized and only two unfortunates traveled to the 
Bartolomejská Police Station for unclear reasons.

Most of the layoffs went there to support them, and by 6:00, everyone was free. In the 
company Zázemí, which is located almost opposite the police station, SUPER after party 
continued with DJs from RFK.

Finally, we would like to thank to Team 115 for a well-managed event and look forward to 
another feminist (again) event in a year.

Libertarian Alternative addresses all his sympathy to the comrade of the anarchist public 
library in Paris, hospitalized after being wounded with a knife in the head at work. ---- 
The attacker fled and, according to the witnesses, his motives seemed political: to strike 
the Anarchist Federation. ---- We express our full solidarity with the FA. Libertarian 
Alternative stands at his disposal for any initiative in reaction to this aggression.
There is a risk that the individual reissues his action. This should encourage all 
militant, revolutionary and libertarian places in the Paris region to be more vigilant.

Anarcho-syndicalist trade unions and associations celebrated May 1, 2019, the day of 
international solidarity of workers with demonstrations, rallies, meetings and other 
events in many countries around the world. Here are only partial information that has been 
received so far from various sources. ---- Australia. Activists of the Anarcho-Syndicalist 
Federation (ASF, section of the International Association of Workers) and other anarchists 
organized a traditional May Day rally at a monument erected in honor of the struggle for 
the 8-hour working day in Melbourne. The speakers reminded the audience about the 
anarchist roots of May Day. ---- Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation 
(BASF) held a rally on May 1 in Sylhet. An appeal was made to the working people of the 
country to fight for a better life, the elimination of statehood and capitalism on the 
planet, the elimination of any borders, military bases and military industry. 
Anarcho-syndicalists are calling for the creation of a new society based on new 
technologies, in which all production and services will be socialized ( 
http://www.bangladeshasf.org/news/a-brief-report-on-mayday-2019-observed .. . )

Brazil. The May Day performances of the Brazilian Workers' Confederation (PSO, section of 
the International Association of Workers) were organized in various cities of the country. 
Thus, in Sao Paulo, the anarcho-syndialists held a rally at 1 pm on the steps of the 
Municipal Theater's stairs. The main topic was the fight against cuts in workers' rights 
and pension reform, and against unemployment - to reduce working hours and establish a 
minimum guaranteed salary of 5,000 reais. In speeches and posters pasted around the city, 
comrades reminded of the traditions of the general strike, called for self-organization of

day of working solidarity, a march was held to the institution and its picketing.

Germany. Activists of the Cologne Anarcho-Syndicalist Network, together with members of 
the Cologne Anarchist Forum and the Kurdish Anarchist Forum of the Anarchists, organized a 
libertarian information stand on the trade union Pervomai on the Cologne Heumarkt square. 
In the evening, they took part in an anarchist demonstration in Dortmund, held under the 
slogan "Class Struggle instead of Election Performance". Hundreds of demonstrators marched 
from the West Park through the center of the city to the cultural center "Black Pigeon" in 
the north of the city, where the final rally was held. The procession was accompanied by 
pressure from the police, who repeatedly stopped the convoy, checked documents, etc. (

Indonesia.Anarcho-syndicalists and anarchists took part in May Day speeches in various 
cities. In Bandung, hundreds of black-clad protesters - mostly students, schoolchildren, 
and precarious workers - joined the demonstration of the official trade unions, raising 
black and red-black flags. In the course of the march, the activists wrote slogans on the 
walls of the buildings: "Anarchism," "Anti-capitalism," "May Day," and "No cheap work." 
The professional bosses (as in the past year) set guards and their functionaries on 
anarchists. Then the anaarchists attacked the anarchists, making several shots. Anarchists 
resisted; the police beat the protesters, knocked them down, dragged them along the 
ground, tore off their clothes. 619 people (including 14 girls) were arrested and 
harassed: they were beaten, divided into groups, divided and shaved bald. Then they were 
thrown into a pickup truck and taken to the police station. The professors complained that 
the anarchists were trying to side with their demonstrations also in Jakarta. It is

and Malang. There were also clashes in Surabaya. A crowd of black-clad protesters

Spain. BUTThe Narho-Syndicalist Trade Union Confederation CNT-AIT (Section of the 
International Association of Workers) held May Day performances in various cities and 
regions of Spain. In Madrid, hundreds of activists and supporters of the local federation 
of CNT-AIT syndicates, "libertarian youth" and other anarchist groups gathered at noon on 
Bravo Murillo Street in Valdeassederas and marched to Quattro Caminos under the motto 
"Struggle is the only way." Ahead of the demonstration carried a huge banner with the 
inscription: "Anarcho-syndicalism against the state and capital." Participants carried 
red-black, black-purple and black flags. They reminded of the anniversary of the general 
strike of 1919, which allowed workers to win an 8-hour working day, and stressed that the 
struggle is on the streets, not in committees and not in parliaments.

In Granada, the demonstration was focused primarily on informing people about current 
labor and social conflicts of anarcho-syndicalists and about repressions against the 
libertarian movement. Together with anarcho-syndicalists, the Anarchist Black Sheep 
Movement took part in the action. The demonstration began at 11.00 am on the Gràcia 
Square, where leaflets were heard, black, red-black and black-purple flags were raised. 
 From there, the column moved to Rekhogidas Street to inform about the labor conflict with 
the store "Patricia Villanueva". The next object of protest was Mango, whose 
administration repressed several CNT activists who exposed the exploitation of the 
exploitation of children and women in the institution. In the Puerta Real area, speakers 
spoke of a conflict with the non-governmental organization Plan International, which fired 
almost the entire state after the trade union section formed there managed to achieve 
certain gains. Then the demonstrators went to Fuente de las Batallas, where they spread 
information about the campaign against gambling houses, harming the lives of residents of 
the quarter. Then came the turn of the shop "Corte ingles", famous for its repressive 
anti-union policies. Passing through Acera del Darro, Fuente de los Granados, Carrera del 
Genil, De la Virgen and San Matias Street, demonstrators approached the Carmela Bar, which 
belongs to one of the leaders of the association of restaurant and hotel owners - 
entrepreneurs who systematically violate the rights of employees. Chanting workers trade

In Cadiz, anarcho-syndicalists came to the historic Plaza de Abastos. The rally began with 
the fact that Comrade Rafa read the manifesto of the interprofessional union CNT-AIT 
Chiklany, which said that May 1 is "the day of world revolutionary agitation," despite all 
the attempts of reformist leaders. Recalling the traditions of the anarchist and labor 
movement and the current offensive of capital and state on the working people, he called 
for solidarity and direct action, as well as support for anarcho-syndicalist and anarchist 
prisoners. Comrade Benito from CNT-AIT's interprofessional union Cadiz spoke about the 
history and traditions of the First and current repressions and maneuvers of those who 
would like to prevent anarchist ideas and anarcho-syndicalist International from spreading 
among the working class. Comrade Pepe Gomez of the CNT-AIT Puerto Real gave an overview of 
how May Day was celebrated and remembered those who are no longer with us, including 
Comrade Garcia Rua. He ended the rally by reading poems dedicated to his comrades in 
wrestling (http: //elmilicianocnt-aitchiclana.blogspot.com/2019/05/cronica-de-los-ac ... )

Poland."The government - on the street, the street - on the government" and "The united 
workers are invincible" - under such slogans anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists marched 
through the center of Wroclaw. "We took to the streets because we see what is happening. 
Employees of various professions are protesting one after another; the teachers have 
recently gone on strike, now they are talking louder and louder about the protests of 
social workers. We are convinced that, together, we can do a lot and oppose inequalities, 
"the representative of the Anarchist Federation of Wroclaw, Halina Valkevich, explained to 
reporters. On this day, working people are reminded of the requirement that workers' 
rights are respected - both in private firms and in relation to state employees. More 
expensive, the cost of living increases, but the salary remains the same. We are not happy 
with the situation when people decide for us who feed us with promises and reform 
projects. These promises often turn out to be lies, and the reforms are temporary, the 
anarchist continued. - We need stable employment contracts, not junk contracts. We need 
salaries to live on and put something off. We want to be treated with dignity. "The 
protesters gathered in the square of John Paul II, recalling that this was once the square 
on May 1. Observers and police gathered around the demonstrators dressed mostly in black. 
One of them passed on radio slogans on banners. "Regardless of what this holiday is 
associated with in our country, that is, with Poland, we remind you that this is a day for 
workers, people whose rights are constantly violated," said Peter Roker. banner he 
stressed that there are not only anarchists, but other organizations as well. Indeed, the 
group with the flags of the Union of Syndicalists of Poland (ZSP, sections of the 
International Association of Workers), as well as the girls with the banner "Women's 
Strike" stood nearby. Peter recalled the origin of May Day: this is the anniversary of the 
workers' strike in Chicago in 1886, which was brutally suppressed by the police. "In 
Poland, this holiday was assigned and desecrated by the authorities of the Polish People's 
Republic. We want to wrest this day out of this infamous story and return it to those who 
created it - workers and workers. In addition to workers 'rights, we remind of tenants' 
rights. We are not only we hold demonstrations and pickets, but we also try to block the 
eviction of people to the streets, "says Peter with pride. May Day demonstration of 
libertarians gathered about 100 people. They walked through the city from John Paul II 
Square, along Russkaya Street, to Sunny Square, and then to University Square (https:

An anarchist companion was violently attacked with stab in the Publico bookstore yesterday 
afternoon. A priori, nothing shows that it is to target it specifically but rather the 
organization in which it militates: the Anarchist Federation .
We will not be left with threats, intimidation or violence.
We will continue to struggle and carry, even in these times of obscurantism, high and 
clear, our political messages, which undoubtedly disturb in these times of struggle. We 
continue the fight against this society imposed on us.

Together against racism and Muslim hatred Pegida not welcome in Eindhoven! ---- The 
extreme right-wing 'anti-Islam movement' Pegida wants to 'demonstrate' at the start of 
Ramadan on Monday 6 May at the Al Fourqaan mosque in Eindhoven. This is a new attempt to 
make Muslims suspicious and to frighten them. The fact that Pegida wants to do this at the 
start of Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims, makes clear what Pegida is about: provoking, 
harassing, teasing, hurting. We cannot and must not accept this. Say NO to Pegida and join 
the protest! ---- Pegida presents itself as a peaceful 'anti-Islam movement'. That is 
deception. She does not criticize 'Islam. She does not practice 'Islam criticism'. She 
conducts mood-making against Muslims. Time and again she attracts attention with attempts 
to threaten and provoke the Muslim community. The club does the same by holding a barbecue 
with pork in front of mosques.

Hard-core fascists are taking part in Pegida. The captain, Edwin Wagensveld, trades in 
weapons. He has been involved in armed patrol actions to attack refugees on the borders of 
Europe. Pegida originated in Germany, there were plenty of Nazis active from the start. 
That is the example for the Dutch Pegida: a fascist movement in the making.

And a racist accident is rarely alone. Today's targets are Muslims. Tomorrow it is other 
groups that are being attacked. Muslim hatred not only threatens Muslims, it is also an 
attack on solidarity, on the peaceful coexistence of people from different backgrounds.

What Pegida does fits in with a dangerous trend of Muslim bashs. Politicians such as 
Wilders and Baudet label 'Islam' as a danger, and thereby kick Muslims. The rest of 
politics goes a long way in this. Mayors and politicians sometimes act, but especially 
against people who try to take action against Pegida.

Pegida is also being given room for her toxic stunt in Eindhoven. The congregation 
therefore refuses to guarantee the freedom and safety of Muslims to preserve their faith 
in peace. Then solidarity people have to do that themselves. We therefore say:

No Pegida at the mosque! No Pegida in Eindhoven's streets!
NO to Pegida. NO to Muslim hatred.
Muslims and non-Muslims side by side: keeps Eindhoven Nazi-free!

Demonstrate!
Monday, May 6, second half of the afternoon (exact time will follow)

Location: will be announced asap.

 From there we walk towards the mosque. We are going to let Pegida there that they are not 
welcome, and also let mosque visitors know that they are not alone. Our solidarity is 
stronger than their racist hatred.

An anarchist comrade was violently attacked with a knife the afternoon of 2nd May 2019 in 
the FA bookshop Publico (Paris). ---- There is nothing to suggest the attack was 
targetting him in particular, but rather the organisation he represents and to which he 
belongs: the Fédération Anarchiste. ---- We will not let ourselves be threatened, 
intimidated or assaulted with impunity. We will keep on struggling and spreading our 
political messages, which are without doubt disliked by some in these times of struggle.

We are proud to announce that our article was published in the Italian anarchist 
newsletter "Germinal" (No. 128, April 2019). Newspapers that exist since 1907 and as such 
an important factor for anarchists, sympathizers and the general public in the region. We 
wrote about Germinal in the historical context in our Istrian anarchist pamphlet , in 
which we stated that this newsletter found its way towards Istria, that is to those 
workers who looked at anarchism with sympathy or were actively involved in the movement. 
---- What Italian anarchists can tell us about the origin of their name is that it is 
linked to the French Revolution (1789) and the change of the Gregorian calendar to offend 
the priesthood and the idea of God. The name is the one with which spring comes to us (in 
French), and in Italian "germinare" means puppies. Something that seemed dead over the 
winter suddenly revives, and this metaphor instantly found its sympathizers among 
anarchists and workers (most notably in France and Spain), who also called their children 
the same name. Among other things, this is the title of the well-known novel by Emile 
Zola, which talks about the cruel life of workers. From the rich dynamics of the 
newsletters we can find out how the fascists, the Bolsheviks and the state were tried to 
quench it as soon as the spirit of liberty was too present or simply an obstacle. In spite 
of everything,

The situation for the anarchist movement in Croatia is not promising, but despite the 
hobizm of most "activists" who have an anarchic sympathetic pendant, subcultural 
influences (more precisely, weights like the cultivation of a culture of hedonism, 
superficiality and political illiteracy), repression of prominent individuals and judicial 
gossip (Initiative against political repression in Rijeka), the parties who tried to 
anarchism co-opted as a harmless part of their field workers (ie, to calm 
parliamentarianism and direct action), anarchism is a visible alternative to ever-firmer 
practical suggestions to the wider population and vulnerable groups, thanks to the 
consistent presence of anarchists in word and deed in social movements.

Activities * , associates and sympathizers are oriented towards the situation in the 
country and the region. Consequently, there are three permanent campaigns, now the 
stronger ones of lower intensity - anti-nationalist and anti-parliamentary, and the 
emphasis on combat workers. In addition to campaigns, we are trying to develop publishing 
activity through pamphlets, as well as our own newspaper (Society of Resistance), through 
which we popularize other topics from anarchist opus such as anti-clericalism, liberal 
education, history of the movement, and the experience of anarchists of current fighting 
abroad.

Due to omnipresent nationalism (in schools, amongst the kids, hooligans and fans, on 
television, in the Church, in the public sphere and in other institutions), we have been 
campaigning for the 2012 Anti-Ethnic Campaign that brings a series of texts, analyzes for 
intervention in our communities and street advertising materials ", The campaign also 
brings the first self-organized basketball tournament" Let's Saw Nationalism "(summer 2018 
in Pula). An anti-parliamentary campaign was launched in Rijeka in 2011, and since then, a 
series of texts, labels, posters, banners and graphites have been published, striving to 
deepen distrust of the people against all politicians and faith in self-organization and 
direct action. We have also developed the third front since the very beginning of the 
Network's existence in 2008,

The situation in the country is also not a promising, final phase of de-industrialization 
(the shutdown of all major and important production) with the reduction of the capacity of 
the shipyard, for the income from tourism and the lobby of the EU elite, creates an 
atmosphere of exodus of young people from the country in search of a better life, a large 
percentage of unemployment throughout the year off season), the breakdown of the public 
sector (such as health and transportation), and galloping privatization of even public 
goods (forests, water, coast). All this leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, due to the 
almost non-existent combat workers' organizations and social movements that can be tackled 
with the economic-political elite.

We are far from being anarchist can become a leading force in society in a more recent 
time, but using every opportunity we try to remain visible, consistent, autonomous and 
fighting for all who build social movements instead of political candidates, and build 
self-motivated and energetic individuals as a guarantee of better life, ie. a culture of 
resistance and solidarity.

* Anarchist Network (MASA) operates in Istria and Kvarner since 2008, focusing mainly on 
larger cities like Pula and Rijeka, and their surroundings. The contacts we are trying to 
hold in Croatia mostly refer to Dalmatia, to the capital of Zagreb, Zagorje and Medimurje. 
In addition to domestic contacts, we are working with anarchists from Slovenia with whom 
we are also in the Federation for Anarchist Organization (FAO-IFA), in communication with 
anarchists from Italy, Greece, Serbia and other countries, mainly through the 
infrastructure and contacts of the International Anarchist Federations (IAF- IFA), but 
also wider.

Another high school strike will take place on Friday, May 3rd. When they engaged in world 
climate strikes, they demanded action from politicians instead of promises. Right in her 
second statement https://www.fridaysforfuture.cz/ the student initiative was forced to 
state that politicians laugh at them or ignore them at best. That as usual, he does not 
see further than his own trough and the nearest ballot box. So the student protest 
continues and we hope it will be confident enough not to be broken by the hunger and 
dismissal of the power clicks and their hops. ---- We expressed our support for the 
student struggle for climate and our own future in theMarch issue of the A3 wall newspaper 
, which states, among other things: "The current political and economic elites live in the 
neoliberal ideology, characterized by such nonsense as unrestricted economic growth 
(understand their own profits) and the inviolable right of private property (that is, 
possessing parts of the Earth and exploiting it, equally animals and people who have 
nothing but their workforce). Not only do they live and build their wealth (do they steal) 
at the expense of others, they do so at the expense of future generations. The fact that 
corporations earning from coal, oil, meat, military or automotive industries and 
maximizing their profits mean they are robbing the future of the future. "

As anarchists and anarchists, we are aware of the importance of solidarity and 
interdependence and support for individual struggles. It is therefore evident that our 
place is on the side of high school students struggling to save the planet against 
ignorant politicians and predatory interests of corporations. Everyone has to decide 
whether to engage in a struggle to save the climate and the future of future generations, 
or whether by their silence and return they will allow the capitalist machinery to 
generate profits at the expense of everyone else.
