France, Alternative Libertaire AL #243 - 29-30 November: At Lyon as elsewhere, no quarter for the FN (fr, pt)

[machine translation]

Faced with a FN who proclaims "first party of France," the response is organized and the 
antifascist camp rebuilt. The congress of the far-right party in Lyon on 29 and 30 
November is an opportunity to not leave the ground right by organizing a weekend of 
mobilization. ---- After seating against the extreme right end she organized in June 2014, 
the Conex (National Coalition against far right) is the source of a call [1] to an 
antifascist weekend. ---- Flexible network, the Conex now wants to gather the various 
existing local anti-fascist group, the reality may vary from one city to another, between 
individuals or collectives cartels organizations. And there is still work to do that this 
framework figure network initiating actions and campaigns like a Ras Front in the 1990s 
This is what we long way to go, even if you can feel a sharp resumption of anti-fascist 
struggle.

After the death of Clement Meric, several local community have been formed without, for 
some of them, manage to maintain a regular activity. The Inter call CGT-FSU-Solidarity 
"United against the extreme right, for social progress and equality of rights" also 
demonstrates what a start: it remains to the decline in localities (via UD and UL union) 
and professional sectors.

Build a national mobilization for the weekend of 29 and 30 November can help to converge 
the energies and make a living and visible fascism field.

Diversity of Tactics

For mobilization plays its role, it is essential to invest in this perspective 
reconstruction. Workshops / forums planned for Sunday 30 can be used to defend a social 
fascism (press struggles) as an alternative to the Republican fascism that can still bring 
some forces (such as those collected in the Left Front).

Importantly, the strength of the mobilization and street demonstration on Saturday will 
restore confidence in an anti-fascist, if not yet able to halt the progression of the FN, 
at least to oppose: social foreheads against national. For this debate deserve to be 
actively pursued in the weeks preparing mobilization: what fascism social practice?

How to avoid disruptions that may have existed in the past between fascist "radical" and 
"mass" (to caricature), and promote instead a diversity of tactics guarantor of the unity 
of the anti-fascist camp? How do we ensure that our unions, our associations fighting, 
seized this fight? We have two months to respond to these critical questions.
