This Sunday, February 16, the screening of an antifascist film organized
by comrades from Young Struggle and Kurdish comrades at the ACTIToffices in Paris was violently attacked by about twenty individuals
armed with sticks and knives. One comrade was hospitalized following
several stab wounds. We have heard from him; he is doing well. We offer
our full support to the comrades attacked, and particularly to the
injured, whom we wish a speedy recovery. The perpetrators of the attack
clearly identified themselves with shouts such as "Paris is Nazi!" and
stickers bearing the Celtic cross often used in Paris by the GUD, a
neo-Nazi group dissolved in 2024, and other stickers belonging to the
KOB (Kop Of Boulogne), a far-right PSG hooligan group.
It is significant that such an attack should occur at a time when
Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau publicly claims sympathy for
far-right groups and stirs up a climate of hatred toward people of
immigrant origin and left-wing activists. If the racists and neo-Nazis
of the KOB feel confident enough in this context to take up arms, we
must stand together to resist them with our own means. Opposition to the
far right today requires the streets, just as much as ideological
resistance.
It is imperative that our Kurdish and anti-fascist comrades can continue
to gather in Paris without fear of violence or intimidation. Therefore,
we stand firmly by their side. Together, let us call for people to join
the demonstrations of support and affirm that Paris is and will remain
anti-fascist.
