In the last week, the alternative house and housing project at the squatted
Haldenstrasse 47 (Haldi 47) in Bochum-Hamme has twice been the target of neo-Naziattacks. The first attack happened on the night of Tuesday, March 21st. Thesecond attack followed just three days later on the night of Friday March 24th.The perpetrators are probably the fascist gang led by Steven Feldmann and SerkanBergamo, who have been up to mischief in the western inner city of Dortmund forseveral months. ---- In order to send a signal against the escalating fascistviolence, the residents of Haldi 47 called for a demonstration through downtownBochum this Saturday. About 200 anti-fascists followed the short-term call andtook the streets in a loud demonstration. Several speeches went into the lastattacks and the increasing right-wing violence in Dortmund and Bochum. We alsotook part in the demonstration and used our speech to express our solidarity withthose affected by the attacks and to call on them to come to the rally againstright-wing violence in Dortmund's Union Quarter next Saturday, April 1st. Becauseproblems are solved where they arise. The full speech is attached to this report.We would also like to take this opportunity to wish the residents of Haldi 47 andall other affected people a speedy recovery. Stand your ground!Dear Haldi residents, dear anti-fascists, dear Bochum residents, I address thisshort speech to you on behalf of the anarchist group Die Platform Ruhr.The news of the attack on the Haldi on Tuesday night shocked us. With all theright-wing violence in the Ruhr area in recent years, such an immediate attack onan alternative housing project is a new escalation. The fact that the next attacktook place just three days later and that people were immediately threatened withdeath was shocking. We would like to express our solidarity with the residents ofthe Haldi and all those affected and wish them a speedy recovery.The fascists continue to escalate the violence. Meanwhile, the cops do one thingabove all: watch and look away. We know this pattern from Dortmund only too well.For months, the same Dortmund fascists who attacked the Haldi have been lurkingaround downtown Dortmund in the west. They spread their propaganda, they threatenanti-fascists and alternative people and also attack them directly. And at theturn of the year, stones landed in the windows of the Taranta Babu literary café,the Missing Link pub and the offices of the Left Party. Again, the cops donothing, ignoring or depoliticizing the attacks.Apparently Dortmund is no longer enough for the fascists as a place of action andthey come here to Bochum. How long is this going to go on? Until they ventureinto other cities? Until scribblings turn into incendiary bombs? Until the deaththreats of the fascists become real deeds? It is we who must face the fascistsnow. Together, in solidarity and offensive. We have to put a stop to them becauseyou can never count on the state. We are incredibly grateful to all of you whoare here today.And we would also like to call on you to go with us next Saturday to where theviolence of the fascists originated: to Dortmund's Union Quarter. There will bean anti-fascist rally there on April 1 at 2 p.m. against the increasingright-wing violence in the district.Let's stand together across cities as anti-fascists. When they attackindividuals, they mean all of us. Let's fight back! Organizes anti-fascistself-defense.The rights to the ground!Post NavigationPREVIOUS POSTPrevious post:Hiking in the footsteps of the Red Ruhr Armyhttps://ruhr.dieplattform.org/2023/03/25/nach-nazi-angriffen-solidaritaet-mit-der-haldi47/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
