#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #FRANCE #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) #France, UCL - Antifascism, 50 years of hatred, let's fight back against the RN! (ca, de, it, fr, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Yesterday, RN deputy Grégoire de Fournas shouted "that he (they) return (s) to

Africa" against LFI deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo. By insulting Mr Martens
Bilongo, the RN revealed its true face: that of racist hatred. This serious crime
of racism must provoke a strong citizen and social reaction. The group of
signatories to the call below is strengthened in its desire to succeed in a large
gathering of all the forces of progress on Saturday November 5 at 4 p.m. in
Paris! ---- 50 years of hatred, let's fight back against the RN! ---- Saturday,
November 5, the Salle de la Mutualité in the 5th arrondissement of Paris will
host the National Rally Congress. The new president of the party will be
appointed there.
The event does not happen in any context, since this year, where the RN won 89
seats in the National Assembly, is also the 50th anniversary of the far-right
formation.

In terms of human history, 50 years is nothing, but obviously enough for many to
seem to have forgotten that the RN is nothing but a reactionary and identity
formation, with racism as its foundation.

The names and backgrounds of its founders such as Jean-Marie Le Pen, torturer in
the Algerian war, convicted in 2017 for challenging crimes against humanity and
president of the FN between 1972 and 2011, Alain Robert, former member of the
direction of Ordre Nouveau, a nationalist movement that greatly impelled the
founding of the FN, and first president of the GUD, a small group of racist and
homophobic violent action, or Pierre Bousquet, a volunteer in the Waffen SS (Nazi
army) and first treasurer of the FN, embody what the RN was and will be, despite
name changes, new faces and polished speeches and images.

A formation with fascist origins, with a reactionary, supremacist and patriarchal
political project
The RN is still a threat, in the hemicycle, the street and the media, for workers
or the unemployed, people of immigrant origin, Muslims, Jews ves, women, LGBTQIA+
people and people with disabilities.

In 4 months of legislature, its deputies voted against the increase in the
minimum wage, rejected the inclusion of the right to abortion in the Constitution
and expressed their colonial nostalgia.

The holding of the RN Congress to designate the successor to Marine le Pen, leads
to the presence of several hundred far-right activists and shows the party's
desire to ensure its continuity by taking advantage of the latest renewed strength.

Driven by the progress of its far-right allies in Europe and around the world,
whether in Hungary, Italy or Brazil, the RN also benefits from the policy pursued
by Macron's first government.

After five years of attacks on our fundamental freedoms, anti-social measures,
Islamophobic rhetoric and anti-immigration laws, the discourse of the RN is no
longer an exception.

Racist, reactionary and authoritarian speeches are now part of the daily life of
the major French media as well as the country's political landscape.

Because we cannot accept the progression and trivialization of the far right and
the silence that accompanies it, we are calling for a rally on Saturday November 5th.

Rally against the RN congress. 4 p.m. - Saturday, November 5. In front of the
Arab World Institute, Place Mohammed V (M° Jussieu).
